Milano –<\/p>\n
Coach Banchi spoke after the game with Milano<\/strong>: “It was a tough game<\/i>. Milan is in a good moment, it used all its aggressiveness and physicality.<\/i> Honestly we responded in the first 15′, even if the percentages were not what we expected.<\/i> But we were in the game.<\/i> Unfortunately we lost contact at the end of the first half, and in the second half we went under.<\/i> And then it is difficult to recover a disadvantage like that.<\/i> We have to respond as a team and keep working.<\/i> We want to approach the play-in with confidence.” Worrying defensive signs?<\/i> “We recognize Milan’s value in terms of the personnel and the competition they played.<\/i> This match should also be traced back to that.<\/i> We in the last period have also lost rough games – with Munich and Panathinaikos – at the beginning of the season we had won such games.<\/i> Now it’s about managing the moment, fatigue is being managed, commitments are being reapproached and we are not a team that can afford to beat anyone.<\/i> We have to earn our bread every night, it’s a difficult time, but we are back on the field in 48 hours and the game has to be a springboard to the next stage.<\/i><\/p>\n We’ve collected defeats-some with recriminations-but the field has spoken, it’s a time of difficulty that we need to rebound from.A lot can start with a more effective defense, without letting the opponents touch the area with this frequency.Today we played a first half with a lot of fouls, maybe we were whistled a lot, 21 free to 9 in the first half.And with Milan if you lose contact then it becomes difficult to mend the tear.We restart from defense and a more fluid and better distributed offense.We are waiting for that spark that can restore our confidence.<\/i> Maybe not everyone has the necessary experience, but I have confidence.<\/i> Now we are focused on the analysis of this postgame and the game – very tough – in Venice.<\/i> With Baskonia we will have one more opportunity to end the regular season in the best possible way.<\/i> We want to get to the play-in in the best position and above all to make a quality performance on our court and in front of our people.<\/i> What we can do we certainly have not forgotten.”<\/i><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":66133,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[307,268,256,248],"tags":[308,269,265],"class_list":["post-66173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-euroleague-en","category-primo-piano-en","category-a-league","category-news","tag-euroleague-en","tag-app-en","tag-evidence"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=66173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/66173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/66133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=66173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=66173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=66173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
