This season has been wonderful and exciting crowned by the victory of the Scudetto. The unity and positive energy that was created is something that has remained in my heart, as well as the affection of the fans who supported us throughout the season. For me this human side is very important to feel good in a society.
Clearly we want to continue on this path, we know that we can never be perfect but by putting the “us” before the “I”, improving and working together with the same mentality and dedication we can achieve great goals. The goal for next season is therefore to raise the bar and continue to win. We will play the Euroleague and I am sure that by bringing the lessons of this year’s experiences we can achieve something great together.”
