Dobric and Luca Banchi
“Banchi is studying the championship setup. Mickey or Dobric, time to make choices” This is the headline from La Repubblica Ed. Bologna for the article by Walter Fuochi who takes stock of Virtus with only two matches to play. It’s time to choose which one to go through with: “Scariolo removed Weems from the 2023 final: and seeing him go from “mayor” of the scudetto to non-paying spectator in two years had its effect. Banchi will not demolish monuments, only generous salaries […] The choice designs the structure. Tall or short. The crossroads: a formula with 8 outside players and 4 long players, or 7 outside players and 5 long players. By roles: a pivot or an extra winger? For names: a Dobrich or a Mickey to keep out? Fate has meanwhile separated the winter reinforcements: neither of them overwhelming, Zizic is more inside than Lomazs, never been what Banchi hoped for (and knew, from the toyland of Latvia)”. The options are therefore: go with two centers, or exclude Dobric – in favor of Abass – “seen only in glimpses in a long darkness also marked by two injuries to his fragile ankles. Reflections are underway.”
