The words of the protagonists
Luca Banchi: «We open this first double round of the EuroLeague against Zalgiris aware of having to play a determined and clear match, against an opponent who knows how to excel in the game in transition and in the penetration and discharge thanks to the versatility of its quintet. We have a great desire to achieve the first European seasonal success that only a high-level collective performance can guarantee us.»
Achille Polonara in the pre-race: «It will be a tough match but we are playing at home and therefore we will have to put in even more energy, taking advantage of the warmth of our fans. In a match like tomorrow it will be crucial to start well unlike what we have done in previous matches. Zalgiris has experience and a core of players who know each other and have been playing in Kaunas for a long time.”
