Virtus flew to Istanbul with extremely reduced numbers. In addition to the absentees announced (Shengelia of Dobric) also captain Marco Belinelli he remained in Bologna, given the birth of his second daughter Deva Vittoria. The lineup that will face Fenerbahce is therefore extremely restructured, the rotations decidedly reduced. Against an opponent of the highest level and in excellent form, the Bianconeri will try to play the best match possible.
The words of Luca Banchi
“We go to Istanbul aware that we will find a team in excellent form and that, especially on their own parquet, is proving to be almost unbeatable. What may appear to be an extremely complex mission on paper must serve as a stimulus to interpret the race with personality and intensity, as befits such stimulating challenges. Fenerbahce will try to take advantage of extremely physical and versatile quintets, characterized by very strong scoring qualities, which is why we will have to prove ourselves ready and cohesive to resist the stresses of a match, which we wish to interpret correctly.”
