Out Achille Polonara.
Coach Banchi: “The first EuroLeague away game has a certainly challenging opponent in store for us. Monaco was able to reach the Final Four last year and presents itself at the starting line of this new season with many confirmations, starting from the coach to the main nucleus of the team, with some small corrections that confirm their ambition of wanting to remain at the absolute top of both the EuroLeague and at national level, where last year they were able to achieve two trophies, both the championship and the French Cup. It will certainly be a challenging match from a point of view of nerves; both teams suffered a defeat in their debut match. There will be a strong desire on the part of both for redemption, but above all to give impetus to this new season.”
Smith: “They are a really talented team. They reached the Final Four last year and due to a bad final quarter, they didn’t reach the final. They probably have the best backcourt in the EuroLeague with Mike James and Elie Okobo. We are ready for this challenge and want to get back on track after last week.”
