Maccabi Tel Aviv started the season with a balance of 3: 7 in the Euroleague, but since then it has been in free fall in Europe. And his players with a negative balance of 9: 7, are only in tenth place and it is clear to them that they must start winning.
Sapropoulos: “Believes in our staff and players”
Sapropolus Talked about it before taking off for Russia and also referred to the possibility of reinforcements: “We do not want to sign a player just to mark V. I believe in our squad and players and if there is no one I am sure can help us, then do not land to say we have strengthened. “Everything happens in the NBA, where more Corona cases are revealed and then the teams sign players from the development leagues on 10-day contracts for extra security so that there are enough players to play. We have the scouting department that does a good job of finding players for us.”
The Maccabi Tel Aviv coach added: “Obviously our goal is to stop the losing streak, the most important thing for me is to see how we get to the game mentally. We meet a very good opponent, she is in a 3: 5 balance at home, she has a streak of two wins and she has the best defense in the Euroleague (absorbs 71.6 points per game). If she can score more than 80 points, it will be very difficult to win. “
Sapropoulos also referred to the spread of the corona throughout the Euroleague after the match between Zalgiris and Milan was postponed due to adhesions in the ranks of the Italians. Real Madrid and Panathinaikos have also been positive for the virus. “Does it worry me? Yes,” said the coach, “we talked about it in the team and said we need to be more careful, everywhere in Europe and here too the situation is getting worse with Omicron and new cases are being discovered every day. We do not panic and take all necessary steps.”
