Everyone knows, the team, the club and the fans, how much his contribution was missed last season, which is not only that of one of the best shooters in the championship, but also his ability to drag Dinamo, to force defenses to adapt to him. The Lithuanian winger Eimantas Bendzius can't wait to start. He has been working for a year to return after the operation on an Achilles tendon that made him miss the season. "I watched from the outside, I waited a long time for this moment, during the summer I continued to work hard to be ready both with the national team and individually with the personal coach. It's all new, team, players, Markovic from the beginning, another challenge".

From the retreat in Nuoro, Bendizu, who is the captain of the Sassari team, has good feelings : "I see teammates who are very available, who work intensely and who want to form a group as soon as possible. We have quality players, with experience who have already played at certain levels, I think that Markovic and Pasquini have chosen very well, also putting players with different characteristics, now it's up to us on the field, I think we could play a good season".

The goal is to start off strong right away and not with a handicap like last season, which also cost them elimination from the Champions League , a tournament that Banco di Sardegna is trying to access with the qualifying rounds: «We haven't started off well in recent seasons, we've played better, we've improved during the competition, I'd like to move forward in the Cup, be protagonists, manage to get closer to the Final Four, but we have to think about one game at a time, from Antalya, eventually to the groups and then the rest».
