Virtus, a hot day between the new board of directors and Paris. Ivanovic: "A very difficult match awaits us"

Members' meeting and Euroleague challenge with Paris: an intense day is expected at home Virtus. The shareholders' meeting is scheduled for today to nominate the new board of directors of the Virtus.

The resignations of three directors of the previous board of directors have led to the meeting that will ratify the new corporate positions that will lead the black and white club, as illustrated last week in a press conference by the president and majority shareholder himself Massimo Zanetti. Marco Comellini, Zanetti's trusted man and former marketing director of Segafredo, will take care of the administrative part, while Paolo Ronci will take care of the sports management. No further indications are expected from today's meeting, other than those that Zanetti himself has already announced and which led to Luca Baraldi's farewell. On the one hand, the governance that will lead the company is being decided, on the other, Dusko Ivanovic's team is expected this evening at 20.30:XNUMX pm for the Euroleague challenge with Paris.

"Paris is a team that is playing really well this season, it is a breath of fresh air in European basketball – confirmed coach Ivanovic – They play fast, great in intensity and offensive rebounds, excellent in transitions and with a good coach. A very difficult game awaits us". With 48 hours to go before the match against Partizan Belgrade and even less before Sunday's match against Tortona, Marco Belinelli and his teammates are awaiting the second match of this tour de force that will see them take the court four times in eight days. They will need more energy and brilliance against a Paris that is the revelation of this Euroleague and that is currently seventh in the playoff zone. Brilliance and energy that Justin Holiday is also expected to be able to provide. Needless to say, in the 10 minutes he was on the court against Partizan it was difficult, especially with an ocean crossing there and back in just a few days, that he could have given more. Already today, especially in terms of growth in view of the most important challenges on Sunday with Tortona and then next Wednesday with Milan in the Coppa Italia, a step forward is expected from him and the team. "Playing a back-to-back in the EuroLeague is never easy because they are two games in a short time and you have to be good at resetting immediately - confirmed Andrejs Grazulis - Paris is a talented team, which is doing well this season, we will have to be solid for the entire 40', reducing turnovers and mistakes in defense". Tickets for the challenge are available on the Vivaticket circuit, while the ticket office in Piazza della Costituzione will open from 18.30:XNUMX. The match will be officiated by Ryzhyk, Jovcic, Kowalski. Live on Sky Sport, Dazn and Nettuno Bologna Uno.
