Virtus Bologna focuses on adjustments ahead of Milan derby

Virtus Bologna will face Armani Olimpia Milano at the Unipol Forum in the Italian Basketball League. The game, known as the Derby d'Italia, stands out as one of the most watched meetings between the two teams.

Assistant coach Daniele Parente said that in the latest Euroleague game the team showed the style it wanted in the first half, but in the second half it made mistakes that must not be repeated. Parente said this will be the third time the two sides meet this season and that the players are beginning to know each other well.

According to Parente, the adjustments compared with the previous two games will be decisive. He also noted that the rosters have changed between the league and the Euroleague, and said the match should be enjoyable for both teams and that the side that imposes its tempo and style will win.

The result also matters for the title race in Italy. Other games in the league featuring Scafati, Trento, Varese, Roma and Udine also draw attention.
