Andrea Trinchieri: “If You’re Building a Team for the EuroLeague Title, You Get Nicolo Melli”

Zalgiris head coach Andrea Trinchieri spoke about his former player Nicolo Melli.

The excitement of the second week of the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague kicks off tonight (Wednesday, October 9th). Zalgiris is set to face a tough away game against Olympiakos this Friday evening.

Ahead of the match, Zalgiris head coach Andrea Trinchieri held a press conference, where he answered questions from the media.

Coach Trinchieri praised Olympiakos’ star player Sasha Vezenkov:

“Sasha Vezenkov is a very smart player. He is Europe’s Klay Thompson. He can score 30 points in a game without taking a single dribble, which makes him a unique player. He is truly a rare type of player. Trying to stop someone like him is a real headache for both coaches and players alike.”
