Ettore Messina: Melli? A great player. Hall? We would have liked him to stay with us

Ettore Messina met the press today, Thursday 5 September, at the Forum Secondary. Olimpia Milano head coach talked also about Nicolò Melli, Devon Hall, the market.

ON THE MARKET

‘We are very satisfied with our roster and want to see it grow day by day. It’s clear, all the teams are vigilant in the EuroLeague and we are too in case new scenarios open up. At the same time, it is not easy to insert a new foreign player, because it would mean leaving out four every Sunday in Italian Serie A’.

ON NICOLO’ MELLI

‘Nicolò is a great player who has given us a lot, he has been an important reference point for us. But in life there are times when mutual expectations, and how you see situations, do not match, and as a result we part ways. It is, I think, neither the first nor the last time that these situations have occurred, both in the world of sport and in the world of work.

ON DEVON HALL

‘We would have liked him to stay with us but he was ill-advised (sentence said with a smile)’
