Ettore Messina’s timeout at the end of the game between Olimpia Milano and Olympiacos sparked a discussion among many fans: “Defend the goal difference.” Here is the video.
The game between Olympiacos Piraeus and Olimpia Milan still has a little over a minute left. After the red and white team scored the sensational equalizer against Napier at 74:74, Williams-Goss and Alec Peters secured a 5-0 run.
In the following timeout, Ettore Messina asks the team not to lose their head, to use the 24 inches of possession and to avoid leaving the goal difference of +12 built up in the first leg on the field.
A decision that was welcomed by the team, but which caused a lot of discussion among the fans after the siren sounded: wisdom or a defeatist attitude?
