Virtus, the point at the end of the pre-season

With the tournament in Crete the Virtus he finished his short preseason with a record of two wins and four losses. The Bianconeri beat Pesaro in the first scrimmage and Gran Canaria in Cagliari, and lost against Sassari, Brescia and then Crete against Olympiacos and Milan. This is a pre-season not easy, necessarily, because coach Banchi had to face many losses. In addition to Cacok and Grazulis – which is expected (the Latvian will start training with the team this week) – captain Belinelli is also missing, and then at times and for different reasons Cordinier, Morgan, Shengelia. With a different roster available every night, it is clear that the process of building the group and determining the hierarchy is gradually progressing, so Banchi stated in front of Crete “We’re as far as I thought we could be“. In different games all the new players showed – in flashes – what they can do and how they can be useful to the team. And the big players involved, Zizic and Diouf , showed good things. At the moment it is too early to say anything else, and against teams that are already advanced in preparation (Milan) it is seen that it is not enough.
There are still two weeks before the start of the season, considering the Super Cup as the last match of the preseason, although it offers a trophy and is played in Bologna. Segafredo must use it to continue working to fill the delay in preparation as soon as possible. The basic objective is to prepare for the start of the championship, but above all in the Euroleague, without immediately making discounts. “We have a lot of room for improvement“, Banchi said again: these margins should be checked immediately.
