Bologna –

Virtus Segafredo Bologna head coach Sergio Scariolo:

“We have to be ready. Players with more experience have to go through this but at the end of the day, it is an opportunity. And opportunities are always a great chance – we made it to the final of a great EuroCup already, and we have to try to take the last step. We worked hard during the season and I am very pleased with that. The work we did during those months was useful, we found some health and incorporated a couple of new players. Once again, I don’t like to talk too much about the opponent. I respect them a lot. I respect their coach, their system and their players. They have great shooters and a lot of offensive potential – and they can play defense, too. They have shown that they are able to play on the road as well as at home. It is a great opponent.”
