Virtus Bologna GM confirms Alessandro Pajola will leave at the end of the season
The love story between Virtus Bologna and Alessandro Pajola will leave the club at the end of the season. The point guard, who has served as captain for years, was forced to undergo a new surgery. 'Thursday's press release acknowledged that his season is over. The medical profile is well-documented. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth if what divides prevails over what unites, and that statement was due to Virtus and the kid. Moving forward united, now,' General Manager Paolo Ronci stated in an interview Regarding the farewell: "We have known for a long time about his desire for new experiences, preferably abroad". Pajola has a big offer from Olimpia Milano, per sources.
Despite missing Pajola and Alston, Virtus cleared the quarterfinals and is now preparing to face Venezia in the semifinals. 'We are used to it,' Ronci continued. 'From January onward, first the three centers were out together, then the three point guards, and now Alston and Pajola. On the night of Game 1 against Trento, the world collapsed on us. Alston was knocked out right after his best performance of the year. As for Pajola, you could tell right then and there that he was done. We will endure once more; we have already proven we are capable of it.'"
