“It is always difficult to get back on the pitch after a lost game at home. Especially when we come across a team as fast and aggressive as” Žalgiris “, emphasized E. Messina before meeting with the people of Žalgiris on Friday. – We defended poorly against the Belgrade club If we want to win the Euroleague game, we have to go back to defense, which we did in the first part of the season.
Of course, the return of the injured players and the complicated schedule due to the virus have definitely damaged our mutual understanding. But that cannot be an excuse. That can only be a reason to focus even more. “

E. Messina is trying to maintain a team game that was broken after both injuries and false COVID-19 results in the Milan laboratory, which had isolated the entire team from training for several days.
“I don’t know if that affected our game on Wednesday. Obviously, the head of the players can be affected by many things. But I don’t think this season is different, so we shouldn’t be affected, “stressed E. Messina.
Former Kaunas tall man “Žalgiris” Zach LeDay started a battle with the former team. The 11-point American who defended Crvena zvezda is putting a label on this match.
