Messina: We need to be aggressive from the start against a great offensive team like Khimki

Olimpia Milano coach Ettore Messina talks before the game against Khimki: ““It’s a complicated game for us, because we come off the Italy Cup elimination that still hurts, but we cannot feel sorry for ourselves. The mental aspect will be crucial, we need to be aggressive right from the start. We face a team with enormous offensive potential, so our defense is going to be important, the balance and the way we will attack them inside.”

The italian team announced that Nemanja Nedovic (right abductor) and Christian Burns (left knee inflammation) won’t be available for the game.
