Bologna –<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Before the start of practice and live on Sky Sport 24, Achille Polonara and Alessandro Pajola talked about the start of the season and the warmth of the crowd in attendance.<\/strong><\/p>\n Polonara<\/strong>: \u201cPorelli Gymnasium full and unbelievable heat, but once again we can feel the warmth of our fans and we are very happy that they came to greet us today. We have great ambitions for this season, last year was difficult for me personally, I hope it can be different and successes can come. Positive feelings, many of the new guys, especially the Italians I already knew, with Clyburn I played at Efes, but we are very happy with all the new guys and that they are all available to the team. They all want to do well and that is the most important thing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Pajola<\/strong>: \u201cBeing able to take part in the Olympic Games is something great and beautiful, unfortunately we didn’t make it. I took this opportunity to rest a little more, to work on certain aspects in which I can still improve, definitely I tried to see the positive side of the situation. I came back with a lot of desire to get to know the new guys, to hug my old teammates again and to wear this jersey. The way I am , I don’t place great expectations ahead of me, I can say that for the moment I have met good people, very good guys, who are so eager to sweat on the field, to train, to improve, to create a group and a team that goes above individuality. That is definitely the most important thing we are working on and will work on.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":68118,"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-68120","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\/68120","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=68120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68118"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
