Bologna –
At the end of the game, Virtus coach commented on the win over Empoli: “We finished the year well with the win in Costa and we started it well today with the first victory of 2022, we had to get back on the court and a little rust was seen, we managed to find some balance in training even if the pace of the game is different. I want to congratulate Empoli, they played a brave and gutsy game despite the fact that they also had problems related to Covid, this is a difficult period for everyone. We must insist on defensive intensity, today we were very inaccurate in the first part of the match and not as aggressive as we should have been. We came in with the right attitude in the second half by placing the gap that allowed us to win; the goal is to have the full roster, the return of Hines-Allen is imminent, we hope to have a good second half of the season.”
