Coach Banchi’s words on the eve of the game with Real: “We are on the eve of a match that is certainly complex but equally fascinating. Challenging Real Madrid, so far undefeated in both EuroLeague and ACB, gives us the motivation to try to take our level of competition to extremes. We will have to try to play a very consistent and, above all, continuous game to try to narrow the gaps as well, not only of a technical nature, but also from a physical standpoint. This is a team that has changed very little, resting on very clear references, and the addition of Campazzo has brought additional talent to a roster that was already extraordinary in itself, as evidenced by the successes achieved last season. Challenging the defending champions will be one more reason to experience a special evening where we count on presenting a Virtus worthy of this stage.”
Toko Shengelia’s pregame statements: “Real Madrid has experienced players and champions on their roster like Lull, Rodriguez and Fernandez but in general players who have the character to win games and titles. Then on the court a player like Tavares who conditions the game especially in defense. We right now are at a good level but we have to continue, indeed try to improve starting with tomorrow night’s game.”
