Euroleague, Ergin Ataman gets out of line on Olimpia Milano

Ergin Ataman has no doubts about the upcoming Euroleague final

Interviewed by the “Gazzetta dello Sport,” Ergin Ataman, coach of Anadolu Efes, talked about the favorite teams to win the Euroleague, letting himself go to a suggestive prediction.

The coach of the Turkish club began with a comment on the 22-23 Euroleague: “Very strong, increasingly competitive and tough. There are three brackets of six teams each with minimal distances between them. For the Final Four there is us, Real, Barcelona, Milan, Olympiacos and also Monaco, which has raised its budget significantly by taking very good players. For the playoffs Fenerbahce, Bayern, Maccabi, Panathinaikos, Partizan with the return of Obradovic and with a court factor that can make a difference, and Virtus Bologna. Then the others from which a surprise may come out.”

Then, he said this about Olimpia Milano, then revealing a prophecy about the upcoming final: “Coach Messina said it and I can only agree. She has strengthened in all roles even though she lost Chacho. For me it is our most dangerous competitor. I say it now: we and Milan will be in the final for the title. And it will be a great final.”
