Olimpia Milano: there's something that amazed Peppe Poeta in Cremona
L’Olimpia Milano wins an important game in view of the continuation of the season, with good signs for both performance and result. After the 67-86 win on the court of Vanoli Cremona, it was Peppe Poeta who emphasized the merits of his players. “I am very happy with today’s game, because we played it in a very serious manner conceding little to the opponents– he said. In defense we showed great solidity and everyone contributed to building this victory against an opponent that has a soul, plays hard and was able to bother everyone”.
“I was very pleased to notice the’intensity that distinguished us on defense for all 40 minutes of the game – added Poeta about his Olimpia Milano -. Just 48 hours after the game with Dubai, it was not a given, and instead everyone brought their morning. Against Cremona we were always in front, and we had four players who had just returned. Some by the way were coming back from pretty long stops. I saw from our side a really serious and intense performance, I am really happy”.
Now Olimpia Milano prepares for the Italian Cup, and Poeta admitted that he is already doing some thinking along those lines. “Between tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will decide and evaluate who to bring with us – he said. Tonight against Cremona, however, everyone made an important contribution, including Nebo and Bolmaro. And even though we were ahead the whole time, I never had the feeling that the game was closed. Cremona has a great soul, especially at home, and even with Virtus Bologna they had managed to come back after being under”.
It was precisely this characteristic of Cremona that kept Poeta on edge until the end. “I wanted the level of attention to stay high until the end. Bravo to the boys for always keeping the shot on defense, thus not giving way to the various Willis or Durham to light up and give a possible turnaround to the bad game for Olimpia Milano”;

In Cremona, moreover, Ousmane Diop returned to the court. “After three months out I am trying to regain the best condition. Coming back to play like this was good, and we won a game that was not easy. Now we will go to Turin aware of our means, I think we will all be more ready than we were in 2025”, said the class of 2000 from Olimpia Milano to ‘LBA Tv’.
