Bologna –<\/p>\n
Virtus Segafredo Bologna’s new player Brandon Taylor introduced himself to the press:<\/strong> \u201cI came to do my job and help the team for what it will need. That’s my responsibility, to give what’s needed and the best of what I can do. Coach asked me for defense, first of all. It is not easy to fit in at this time of the season, but we know that everything starts with defense, the one that wins games and titles. That is where I will have to start from. As the first thing, I have to add something to a team that has so much talent and they have already played a very long season. I can put my qualities, get to know my teammates better and create chemistry with them as well as with the coach. I add to something that is already there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n What do you remember about Italy? \u201cIt’s a special place, two of my children were born one in Bergamo and one in Reggio Emilia, it’s a bit like coming home. I love Italy and I have great memories here. I didn’t expect the call because anyway I was focused on the season in Spain and doing the best I could. I will try to take advantage of what is a great opportunity at one of the best clubs in Europe, when the offer came I had no doubts. It made me very happy. As a basketball fan I know very well what is the history, the coaches, the players and the importance of this club. I didn’t have much chance to see the city when I was in Reggio Emilia so I will try to do it now even though I know tortellini and Parmigiano Reggiano very well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Do you have big goals: \u201cWe are playing to try our best, working day by day and focusing on the things we need to do without looking so much at the future but at individual games. Now we have a first round, starting with Race1 and then Race2: let’s think about that, one match at a time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":72201,"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-72206","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\/72206","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=72206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/72201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.virtus.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
