Ettore Messina still out, Mario Fioretti’s turn

The words of Fioretti

Olimpia Milano on Tuesday evening returns to the Euroleague court, in the trip to the field of Baskonia Vitoria, without Ettore Messina.

The red and white coach had to forfeit because of’otitis that had already stopped him last Saturday against Napoli.

In his place will still be deputy Mario Fioretti, who also spoke on the eve of the game: "The first goal for us è to produce a very aggressive game, on a traditionally hostile".

"Defensively, re-entering quickly and defending carefully in the half court especially against Howard, Cabarrot and Moneke will be imperative. Baskonia so far has had the second best defense in EuroLeague, and è has been able to defend intelligently and aggressively, taking away rhythm from the opponents. Against this defense, we will have to play under control and use passes properly".
