Ettore Messina gave a long interview to Corriere della Sera and Il Foglio. Among the various topics addressed, in addition to the hypothesis of resignation, also the situation of Kevin Pangos and Shabazz Napier.
Here on il Foglio: «At the basis of this start to the season below expectations there is an original sin. We don’t have the right driver for our car. Pangos is not the man who can make this team play and I haven’t yet found the right corrective measures by trying to simplify the game, making it pass more through two big men like Melli and Voigtmann who are good passers. With a simpler game we would lose fewer balls, which has cost us so many defeats.”
Here on the Corriere: «I had to ask myself some questions when I noticed that in Cleveland he had slipped from assistant playmaker to backup positions, even ending up out of the team».
And we also talk about Napier: «Last year with Napier we resolved the situation during the season and then won the championship, but this summer after telling us that he would stay he raised his demands again. We had already gone so far as to offer him triple his initial salary. We couldn’t do more and now he continues to send messages to his friends saying that he would like to come back. Napier’s credit was that he changed the personality of the team.”
