Disqualified for the decisive game 3 in the semi-finals against Cuneo, captain Omrcen followed most of the game from the media box before seeing the end in front of the tunnel leading to the changing room.

“I spent two nights without sleeping – he said – the idea to finish my long and splendid Italian career like that without being able to play the most important game because of that disqualification was just horrible. But my teammates showed great character and deservedly qualified. Perfect game in terms of technique, tactics, as well as fighting spirit. At the end of the game, I celebrated with them in the lockers and thanked them for the breakthrough”.
