Messina “Go beyond our limits, race decided by episodes” – OA Sport

A cherished finish on that Kevin Punter over-arch shot, a final seen escaping on that Cory Higgins shot eight cents from the siren that makes all the difference in the world. The A | X Armani Exchange Milano does not go to the final in the Euroleague 2021 Final Four, beaten by Barcelona, ​​but leaves the Cologne parquet with a very high head, proving once again to be one of the top European teams.

A victory escaped in extremis at the end of a match where Barcelona seemed to be able to run away, then it was Milan who had the ball and, with a couple of fewer errors, perhaps he could have closed it. But the last seconds were in perfect equality and Ettore Messina can only be proud of his boys and look forward to next season with optimism..

“I think the team has perhaps gone beyond their limits. In the second half we decided to do our rotations, to find athleticism and defensive performance that in the first half was not up to par. Even with some small quintets and Vlado of 4 we worked better in the low post and we came to a possession from winning against a team that had always beaten us. Then a match is decided by episodes “ the words of Ettore Messina at the end of the race.

Then a look to the future already. “Summer will be interesting, everyone will want to improve. We must try to improve the players with training or by inserting other weapons. We are not a major budget team, but I am confident we will continue to grow. We hope to return to the playoffs and the Final Four again next year. Even if it won’t be easy, every year it’s more and more difficult “ Messina concluded.
