The words of Ante Zizic to the press, reported by all the Bolognese newspapers.
The series with Tortona – It’s an excellent team and has important players. It’s dangerous to play against them. On the other hand, this is playoff time, things change, everyone gives their best in this period. It will be important to start the series well, reacting to their physicality. It’s very important to play in front of our fans. And it’s beautiful. Even in the Euroleague in recent days we have seen what it means to play game 5 of the playoffs at home, it’s like being with six players on the pitch. It means a lot to us and we worked for it.
The Euroleague – This was a more competitive Euroleague than the previous ones. A win and you went up three places in the rankings, a defeat and you went down. After my arrival there were injuries, some unlucky matches and we slipped back, but making the play-ins remains an objective achieved. Yes, Virtus had a good season in Europe.
Bologna – I’m doing great here. I had to adapt to fit in having arrived during the current season, but from the first moment I felt welcome. There is positive pressure, people have expectations and we want to satisfy them. The fans are amazing, our sixth man on the pitch and playing for them is fantastic.
The turnover – We know that the rules require two foreigners to stay out of the match. How we will go on the pitch is the coach’s decision and we players have a duty to be ready. It’s clear that each of us would like to go on the pitch, play lots of balls, and help our teammates win. That’s the only thing that really matters, personal goals come second.
The scudetto – It is a very competitive championship. Clearly we and Milan are Euroleague teams, but they are all competitive and before starting you can’t say which one is the one to beat. Whoever wins the regular season has more pressure, everyone tries to beat you. However, we can still improve
