Olimpia Milano, another KO in the Euroleague, this time against Mike James’ Monaco. EA7 which certainly defends better than what has been shown in the latest releases, but it is clear that it is still unable to combine attack and defense in the same match. In fact, offensive ideas in the midfield are scarce, but without a doubt a low-scoring game is more in the cards for this team. This is the fifth European KO, certainly too many for a team that wants to aspire to play in the post-season. Good signals from Hall and Tonut, on both halves of the pitch, but that’s not enough.
