Olimpia Milano, Ettore Messina no longer believes: “We are out”

Words as harsh as they are clear after a very heavy defeat.

Olimpia Milano defeated 88-73 in Vitoria against Baskonia, in a very delicate game with great weight for the meneghini’s stay in the Euroleague. A concept well understood by coach Ettore Messina, who in fact has already spoken as if his team had officially abandoned the competition. Although the arithmetic, for now, says otherwise.

"We are practically out of the Euroleague,” Messina said hotly, intercepted by the microphones of 'EuroLeague TV' -. This è was a particularly tough defeat. Unfortunately, we have faced so many problems this season that have prevented us from really finding a square. This is something we need to reflect on. But above all, we have to look ahead, and think about the playoffs in the Serie A".

"Kudos must be given to Baskonia, but as for us, we è lacked continuity; as often è happened throughout the season. We è lacked in our work and in the level we were able to reach with our game. And è so è especially on the road, where we are very fragile", added Messina in the press conference.
