Mantas Kalnietis: Playing with Milano is a pleasure this season. Last season it was a job
Kalnietis about Pianigiani: The team was good last season too. But there is a new atmosphere now. We have a coach that believes in us, in what we do and he convinced us that we can compete against the top European teams
Mantas Kalnietis spoke with La Gazzetta dello Sport about the season with Olimpia Milano. The experienced combo guard is playing only in EuroLeague so far for EA7.
“I want to show you that Kalnietis seen vs. Barcelona is the real Kalnietis” the Lithuanian said. “Pianigiani is asking me to control the tempo coming off the bench. Playing once per week is easier but I hope to play in Serie A too sooner or later” Kalnietis added. “The team was good last season too. But there is a new atmosphere now. We have a coach that believes in us, in what we do and he convinced us that we can compete against the top European teams. Playing for Milano was a “job” last season, this season is a pleasure. A small detail that makes the biggest difference”.
