“The president is a dreamer.” Peppe Poeta brushes it off with a laugh

There was a funny moment in the postgame press conference following the Olimpia Milano-Trieste game, when a reporter asked Peppe Poeta for a comment on President Leo Dell’Orco’s pregame remarks. The coach pretended to walk away amid general laughter.

Then Poeta, with a smile on his face, said: “The president is number one; we all love him. He’s a great dreamer, and it’s wonderful that he dreams. Dreaming is the most beautiful thing in the world, and so… great pres.”

Leo Dell’Orco had said: “I just want to say one thing. We’ve built a strong team, with the goal of finishing among the top four in the EuroLeague. For now, that’s all we can do. Now it’s up to you guys.”
