He is perhaps the most awaited player, because the real Eimantas Bendzius was seen very little in attack in the quarterfinal series against Venice . The Lithuanian winger remains one of the few players in the championship who can also really hurt the Milan defense in this semi-final series which starts on Saturday at the Forum starting at 6pm. «Venice made a very specific choice in defending strongly against me and it wasn't easy to unmark me, but it's not a problem, the important thing is to always be useful to the team».

The prediction remains for the Italian champions, however Bendzius underlines the advantage of the Sassari team: «They have the pressure, we can play lightly and with the confidence and good game acquired with work during the year».

Precisely in the match played in Milan in the second leg of the regular season, Bucchi's biancoblù had put Olimpia in difficulty in the first half and had remained in the game until the 35th minute: «They are a very physical team, of great size, the rebounds will be a key, we must be flexible and find the best solution and stay close to him until the end».
