Virtus Bologna, Luca Banchi not satisfied: ‘Head for Euroleague’

Words of high praise after a victory that weighs.

Virtus Bologna beats Venice at PalaTaliercio, where the final score reads 68-76. For the Emiliani it is the third victory out of three in this start of the championship, and Luca Banchi praises his team still undefeated in Serie A. At the same time, però, he invites not to lower his guard in view of the double Euroleague appointment that is approaching.

"We played a game of great attention and seriousness, trying to dose our energy,” Banchi said in the press conference. “For us, this è the first cycle of the season with commitments in the league and Euroleague, with a double away game. Reason why some unknowns were there, especially after the bitterness of Lyon".

It was precisely on this front that Banchi saw a Virtus Bologna on the rise: "We were good at continuously finding advantages and managing the defensive phase, then we did well in rebounding. And this è what we had lacked in Lyon. These are all aspects that must become our trademark. Now all our attention must focus on the'Euroleague".

There is no shortage of words of praise for Venice as well. "We knew how much Reyer was in an emergency, and that precisely because of that they would have the highest motivation to play a reaction game against us. They wanted to show their values, their organization and their character, and they succeeded", Banchi said.
