Olimpia Milano slumps in league, Messina: “Need help from everyone or no Italian Cup”

L'Olimpia Milano collapses in league, Messina: "Need help from everyone or no Coppa Italia"

Olimpia Milano's double-faced season continues, convincing in the Euroleague and disastrous in the league: Ettore Messina’s team on Sunday è stumbled into its third consecutive defeat in Serie A, losing the Lombardy derby against Varese 94-92. Brooks and LeDay (19 points apiece) were not enough for the meneghini, who slipped to eighth place. 

"I am worried about the standings, but è so è every year, getting into the top eight is never easy and we have this problem of winning in the league even when we played on Friday in the EuroLeague, away" are the words of Messina.

"We need to find a way to overcome it and our players need to understand that to do that you have to tie your shoes and win games regardless of the conditions. For this we would need to have a contribution from everyone, and instead for some time we have been suffering from amnesias from this point of view that we are paying dearly".

"If we cannot overcome this problem, we will not make the Italian Cup. We need everyone to be aware of this".
