Milan, 31 October –
After the match against Milan he spoke at the press conference coach Luca Banchi: “First of all I congratulate Milan, they started better than us and finished better than us. Unfortunately in the end our energy wasn’t enough, Milan found some crucial plays that dug the furrow and made the difference. I congratulate coach Fioretti on his first victory in the Euroleague as head coach and wish coach Messina a quick return. We were coming from a very tough match like the one against Bayern, in an emergency and without Zizic who was there tonight but obviously I didn’t have the pace. We have a great desire to reverse the trend, in the end after races like these you are left with regrets and the weight and accumulated fatigue. At these levels you compete with the best talents in Europe, in a type of basketball that absorbs a lot of energy. We struggle to provide rest minutes to key players as it should normally be and not in an emergency situation like this.”
