He had great success in Milan, as in Madrid. I just have to help the team day by day, share advices to younger players because this is the stage in my career where I can and must do it.&#8221; Olimpia introduced today its eight new players, all enthusiastic about this journey. Even the returning Zach LeDay showed a lot of first-time enthusiasm: &#8220;We are a hungry team, we have hungry players, we also have big ambitions&#8221;, he said. Here is a summary of their &#8220;first time&#8221; in front of the red and white fans who filled the Scalo-Milan Hub to meet them.<\/strong><br><br><strong>Neno Dimitrijevic<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;Playing here is a dream come true for me. I have followed the EuroLeague since I was a 5-year-old child and I couldn&#8217;t wait to try my hand and try to show what I can do. Personally, I have always played to chase wins and I will do the same this time too.&#8221;<br><br><strong>Leandro Bolmaro<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;I spoke with Nikola Mirotic before coming here and he told me great things about this club. His presence was certainly an important factor. I&#8217;m happy to play with him again. In this experience I will take with me what I learned at Barcelona while playing alongside great players but also at Bayern, the lessons Coach Pablo Laso taught me. I improved with him, I will continue to do so with Coach Messina.&#8221;<br><br><strong>Armoni Brooks<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;It&#8217;s my first experience overseas. Right now I&#8217;m trying to educate myself, I watch the films, I watched games from last season, I try to follow the advice of the veterans who have been here longer than me and can help me in this transition period. From what I see, it is a very competitive and physical brand basketball here.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gZx9J7KcnUA?si=K4E49Uw1lNdxIDWz\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fabien Causeur <\/strong>&#8211; &#8220;What I have learned in Madrid over many years I will try to teach it to my new teammates. I am at the stage of my career where I feel I can share my knowledge. I have won a lot, I know how its is done: the right approach it&#8217;s about approaching the season step by step, staying confidence, believing in what we&#8217;re doing. The tournament in Crete will already give us some indications of where we are at. Obviously, this is a new team, patience is requires. Hopefully, we will succeed here in Milan like we did in Madrid. For me it is a great change, of course, after so many years and so many special moments.&#8221;<br><br><strong>Zach LeDay<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m blessed to be here. I have more of a leadership role but it comes naturally to me. I also did it in recent years at Partizan because we were a young team. I try to talk a lot, I always talk, I try to communicate and help the team come together as soon as possible. I have improved over these three years because it is part of my job. But I continue to be a player of energy, enthusiasm and competitiveness.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53987775078_256a63b795_k.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fabien Causeur<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>David McCormack <\/strong>&#8211; &#8220;I&#8217;m happy to play for such a historical team. I don&#8217;t feel any pressure. My game is about energy and athleticism and for the rest I&#8217;m trying to learn from teammates, not only the ones playing my position, but whoever is more experienced and can help me day after day.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ousmane Diop &#8211;<\/strong> &#8220;For me, playing here is a great opportunity to grow. I&#8217;m preparing to play at a very high level, also in the EuroLeague, a level that I&#8217;m experiencing every day in practice against very talented teammates.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Josh Nebo<\/strong> &#8211; &#8220;For me, it is a new chapter in my career: the goal is to immediately establish a winning culture. I know that I can still improve a lot, become a more complete player. My approach has always been this: work, be better than the day before. I want to be better now than I was last season. Rebounds and energy can help the team run more on the break as Coach wants, plus I&#8217;m also fast for my position on the court. I didn&#8217;t have the chance to talk to Kyle Hines, but he is a legend, I don&#8217;t have to inherit anything from him. I have played against him many times, I have always been struck by his intensity, the little things, I have also tried to learn from him.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-assets.olimpiamilano.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/53987537131_b1075fab93_k-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Josh Nebo with the fans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabien Causeur, the veteran, immediately talks about leadership. &#8220;But I don&#8217;t have to get the leadership role that Chacho Rodriguez had, because it wouldn&#8217;t be right.
