A Virtus 'distracted' by the market and protests tries to unite for the challenge in Belgrade

Bologna, March 25, 2025 - Without the injured player Momo Diouf, without Rayjon Tucker e Andrejs Grazulis left at home again, without Richard Visconti already landed yesterday in Spain where they will play in Granada, Virtus is getting ready to take the field, tomorrow evening at 20pm Belgrade Arena to face Crvena Zvezda of former Milos Teodosic.

Distracted by market movements, outgoing, but necessarily possible-probable also incoming, company news, the shareholders' meeting on Monday, and protests from fans, the formation of Dusko Ivanovic must try to concentrate on the challenge against the Crvena Zvezda.

In the team that left for Belgrade yesterday and will then reach Berlin on Thursday the injured Diouf is missing, as mentioned, Grazulis and Tucker are missing, and so the black and whites decided to bring Matteo Accorsi, a product of the Virtus youth sector, who has been a regular member of the first team's training for a few weeks now.

“We are facing Red Star, a team that played very well and played a great match against Olympiacos - coach Dusko Ivanovic emphasizes - It's true, they play without big men, but all this makes them more dangerous, they are perhaps the team with the most talent in the competition. We will go there to look for victory and, above all, to find the mentality that we have not had in the last games and to improve our game".

The words of the Juventus coach are echoed by the words of Will Clyburn. “We will play another match in a warm environment and with a great atmosphere - confirms the Detroit native - Our opponents need to get results to get to the end, we will have to play our basketball to prepare for the end of the season. We will have to go out on the court to play hard and to improve after each performance".

Referees - The match is managed by the trio composed of Pegura, Shemmesh, Bissuel.
