Ettore Messina: “We had won it.”

Bitter Messina

Ettore Messina did not hide his disappointment at the end of the Euroleague match lost by his Olimpia Milano at the Forum to Bayern Munich. "It’ was a tough defeat – he acknowledged -. Kudos to Bayern because it’ looked like it’ had lost it when we went to plusù five with two minutes to go, but it kept playing while we made some mistakes in offense and defense that cost us the game".

"A tough match, as we è saw, also becauseé Josh Nebo è got hurt again. In the next few days we will know what it is. We had another bad start, albeit with a different quintet" added the red and white coach.

"When we get off to a good start we do it because weé defend and move the ball on offense instead ofé taking the first available shot. Today we didn’t do that. Despite that we had a five-point lead with two minutes to go. We had a nonexistent defensive rotation, we lost two balls, we conceded an offensive rebound on the decisive possession. These are mistakes that you pay" he then stressed.
