The words of Fioretti
Olimpia Milano on Tuesday evening returns to the Euroleague court, in the trip to the field of Baskonia Vitoria, without Ettore Messina.
The red and white coach had to forfeit because of’otitis that had already stopped him last Saturday against Napoli.
In his place will still be deputy Mario Fioretti, who also spoke on the eve of the game: “The first goal for us è to produce a very aggressive game, on a traditionally hostile”.
“Defensively, re-entering quickly and defending carefully in the half court especially against Howard, Cabarrot and Moneke will be imperative. Baskonia so far has had the second best defense in EuroLeague, and è has been able to defend intelligently and aggressively, taking away rhythm from the opponents. Against this defense, we will have to play under control and use passes properly”.

The words of the trainer of Balotelli
Stefano Mazzoldi, the athletic trainer who has followed Mario Balotelli in recent months, è unbalanced himself after Genoa’s announcement: “He has to go in double figures, at least 10 goals he has to score them”
“Musically he is very well. È it is clear that he does not have the match rhythm, but he can’quietly make a half-hour or 45 minutes”, he revealed.
“Mentally? È charged up, he is eager to start again: I have seen him enthusiastic. He really has a lot of desire and mentally è very strong: training 5 months without having the certainty of starting again is not like everyone”.
“I work with so many soccer players, but never in my life have I seen someone kick like he does. He shoots differently, he pops balls. He told me that this fundamental coached him a lot at’Inter when he would stop an extra hour’to kick with Mihajlovic and Recoba”, he concluded.

The words of Lautaro Martinez
Lautaro Martinez closed his countdown on the Ballon d’Or night in seventh place, behind even Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland but ahead of for example Lamine Yamal and Toni Kroos.
The Inter’s captain was chosen to award teammate Emiliano Martinez with the second Yashin Trophy in a row and from the stage he took the opportunity to make a few brief statements.
“What a pleasure to be here. The truth è è that in the last period I have experienced important moments between Argentina and Inter. Winning trophies è always a goal, what you work for every day, the biggest incentive and push. As my goal I have to score goals, in the pre-match analysis we always study the opposing goalkeepers, then you have to decide in fractions of a second but every data è important”.
Lautaro has collected only three appearances, too few to play for at least the podium.
