The moment of truth for Hapoel Holon’s season has arrived. The Yellow-Purples will face Tenerife tomorrow at 19:00 in Tenerife in the final four of the FIBA Champions League, with the aim of qualifying for the grand final.
Sick coach, Guy Goodes, Was interviewed ahead of the game and said: “In the play-in against Bishketash in Turkey we were on the verge of relegation but we won and got a lot of confidence. “No one believed that we would finish in first or second place, but in the end we finished first and we are the first club from Israel to reach this status, it is not obvious, we want to make our 1,000 fans happy and reach the final.”
“It’s definitely going to be a tough game. We saw Tenerife’s style of play and it is very different from the Israeli style, there are many surprises that can happen in the Final Four. We’ll have to be focused. Anything can happen in 40 minutes, everything is given to be in the final. I came to the team in November and we did what we did, it is history that we reached the Final Four, for us and for all Israeli basketball, “he continued.
Guy Goodes (Radad Jabara)also Guy Pnini, Captain Holon, spoke: “It is very exciting to be here. We started our journey in the Champions League five years ago. “It was a great achievement for us to reach the top 8 last year, and it’s history for the club that we are here now in the Final Four.”
“To see our 1,000 fans here is really special, Holon is a club that is a family, we are all united. They will give us a lot of energy. We brought here a boy whose father passed away three days ago and dreamed of being here and we want to bring the trophy to Israel with him. If I did not have the passion and enthusiasm to be here I would not continue to play. If you think that because of my age I do not have pressure – that is not true “, he continued.
