Ramondino: Winning in a difficult period made us happy

Olimpia Milano left the court as winners after defeating Aquila Trento. Speaking after the game, head coach Marco Ramondino said his team had struggled to find energy after its busy EuroLeague schedule. Stressing that the opponent was a very good team in physical and athletic terms, Ramondino said the game had been up and down.

The head coach said the game changed in phases and that winning in a difficult period is never easy. Explaining that Moses Wright did not start in the first five because he arrived late to the pre-match meeting, Ramondino said his decision was based on that reason.

Ramondino said events surrounding Poeta's dismissal had developed very quickly and that he could not yet make a clear assessment. The head coach said that despite supporting Poeta, they had not been able to achieve the desired results, and noted that when a coach loses his job, it is always a defeat. Speaking about Banchi as well, Ramondino described him as a top-level coach and said everyone should take up their post with responsibility.

In the game, Olimpia led by as many as 17 points, while Aquila never gave up and tried to close the gap in the final minutes. However, the opponent's late comeback effort was not enough, and Olimpia secured the win.
