Ettore Messina, a thank you to Gigi Datome
“He today, in the first half, was able to get us through the fear, in which we couldn’t do anything. He tamped down their 8-point lead, which would have brought even more difficulties if preserved.”

Milan began the series with Sassari with a convincing win.
On the eve of the game that will open the Scudetto semifinal series, the coach of the Red Shoes takes stock of the situation.
The red-and-whites moved to 2-0 in the series with Pesaro.
“To Davies I explained what Voigtmann gives us right now. To Pangos that we would have a hard time playing with three small guards.”
“It doesn’t have to be a duty, but we care about finishing the season as best as we can,” the Red Shoes’ coach sentenced.
“I have always thanked the public, which is crucial for us, however, if we have to grumble if Shields plays uncertain or struggles, we are not helping him and the team.”
Olimpia Milano’s coach commented on the victory against Tortona.
“I also read a bizarre comment that if we were to win the Scudetto it would be a failed season.”
Against Treviso finally the best version of Johannes Voigtmann: 21 points and many plays of pure class.
“He will stay at the helm next season; he has a contract.”
The general manager of the Milanese club: “Ettore Messina will be the coach of EA7 Emporio Armani Milano again next season.”
“His growth is the best news of the night, we played well but a bit ragged.”
Coach Ettore Messina lapidary: “With the Euroleague, the agreement with him is over.”
“Budgets at the end of the season, now we have to think about the championship.”
“I think it can help us find confidence before the Italian playoffs,” said the Red Shoes coach.
“We are sorry that we will not be able to play in the playoffs for the third consecutive season, we are left with the small consolation of having kept hope lit up until a few days ago with a good comeback.”
“I read about some fans and insiders who have already started the trial of Ettore Messina and issued the sentence of conviction.”
“There would be so many things to say, but it’s better to lock ourselves in the gym and work,” cut the Olimpia coach short.
The coach’s analysis of the meneghini, defeated 85-66 by Maccabi Tel Aviv and now doomed by arithmetic.
“They slapped us in the face in the first five minutes and we had a pathetic performance without showing fire and competitiveness.”
“Facing a strong and motivated team is as difficult as it gets especially for us who played two EuroLeague games last week as well.”
“Now we have another important competition in the league, then two away games in the Euroleague. We always think one game at a time.”
The coach of the Red Shoes spoke at a press conference on the eve of the Euroleague match.
Eighth place is two wins away. Mathematically, the feat is still possible.
The Milan coach praised the team after the victory against Fenerbahce
“We face one of the best teams in the competition,” says the Olimpia coach just hours before the Istanbul challenge.
“Let’s pack our bags and focus on having a good game on Tuesday against Fener.”
Olimpia is without Shavon Shields, Kevin Pangos and Devon Hall among the foreigners and without Gigi Datome and Paul Biligha among the Italians.
