Venice – Milan, Messina coach: “At the fourth match in eight days, no more team. Laziness? In mine it doesn’t exist”
Coach Ettore Messina commented on the match in Venice: “I think Reyer should be complimented, she played more carefully, while as far as we are concerned, the truth is that, in the fourth game in eight days, I don’t expect any more. We have had too many subdued individualities, even if everyone tried to beat each other, but without lucidity. I can’t think of anything else, if not the weight of a week with four more races bouncing from one side of Europe to the other. I think it is right to congratulate Reyer, who with the passing of the minutes has found the right solutions ”.
About Devon Hall: “He is doing a job that is not his, he can be a director for five or six minutes, but if he has to do it for 15 minutes, for 18 minutes, he ends up devoting himself to other things and struggles in attack. He is a player who gives his best from 2 or 3, but right now without Naz Mitrou-Long and even without Tommaso Baldasso, this is the situation ”.
Shields On Shavon: “Obviously we look at the transfer market as we always do, as all the EuroLeague teams do, but Shields is a star even at that level, replacing him is impossible. We should see what the market is offering and, if anything, make assessments on what we can add of what we do not have of him, knowing that not everything will be positive, because he is someone who scores and defends, many things. For the moment, let’s look at how the situation evolves, at the assessments that will be made in 6-8 weeks ”.
