ETTORE MESSINA: The key to victory is stopping the 1-on-1 game

The coach of Olimpia Milano, Ettore Messina, spoke to the media before the match in the 5th round of the Euroleague, which his team plays against Alba.

In the introduction before the duel, Messina praised his colleague from the other side, who still has no victory in the first 4 rounds of the Euroleague.

“Under coach Israel Gonzalez, Alba Berlin has always been able to play aggressively, with an athletically powerful squad. They play at a high tempo. They make you lose a lot of balls. That’s a segment we need to fix, so it will be important to have a good flow of the ball and to defensively stop the one-on-one game.” Ettore said.

He added that it would be special to see Maodo Lo play against Alba, where he spent most of his career.

“It will be interesting because Maodo Lo is coming home. It will finally be available for us. It is also interesting that we will face two Italian prospects, Gabriel Procida and Matteo Spagnolo.” concluded the coach of the team from the city of fashion.

The duel between Alba Berlin and Milan is on the program from 20:00.
