«Did we move the ball well? We have to be honest and remember that in the one moment, for three to four minutes, when we stopped doing that, we let them back in. We have to be smarter, è it’s difficult under pressure. But we have great players and people, they will always do better and do it for 40 minutes instead of 37/38. But today è it was another great effort in another great Euroleague game.
“They know how to do it, they have to keep doing it especially in difficult moments. When we have flow and in good moments we are a good team, even to look at. When the opponents also run we have to stay calm and play our basketball. In clutch time we kept attacking, earning fouls and getting to the iron. We have to keep doing that”.

Simone Inzaghi, his wife’s confession on Instagram
Simone Inzaghi’s wife Gaia Lucariello also spoke about the news of the day, namely her coach husband’s’farewell to Inter: “The truth is that I would have liked to tell him to stay. I could have insisted, but four years is a long time, and I did not feel like it”
“We would have liked to, yes, but every cycle has a beginning and an end. As a wife, I always try to give the right advice, and today, although the heart would have chosen otherwise, the advice was to move on.
“These four years with Inter have been magnificent. This farewell weighs like a boulder. I will carry these years in my heart forever. Our son also wore the Inter jersey for four years, and that made the bond with these colors even deeper. It is not easy, for any of us. Not even for our little one, who leaves what is home for him.
“Life, however, must be distinguished from work, and today the road takes us elsewhere. But a piece of our heart will stay here. Always. Forza Inter”, he concluded on Instagram

Gianluigi Donnarumma, the great protagonist of Psg’s triumphant ride in the Champions League, is coveted by clubs from half of Europe.
He is a big name in the world of football.
His agent Enzo Raiola knows it well, who spoke about it to Radio Crc: “We are working on the new contract. Obviously Gigio has several requests, many would like him, but few can afford him. He is very well in Paris, we are in the European champion club, so we are certainly not complaining”.
“Fans have always loved Donnarumma, criticism if anything comes more from Italy’Italy. It was a dream of his to reach the roof of Europe, he succeeded” he added.
Excluding a return to Italy: “That he could go to Napoli is pure fantasy, we have not spoken with the club. Gigio is milanista, but he has never denied his origins and his mother is a blue supporter. I do not know how such news came out, but it is still fantasy”.
