Oded Kattash, the head coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv, spoke before the duel against Olympiacos in the eighth round of the EuroLeague.
If the situation were different, the role of the absolute favorite would belong to the home team. However, the fact that Maccabi does not have its army of fans behind them is an advantage for the opponents. Nevertheless, Maccabi has no time for despair, considering that the competition continues for them. The next opponent is Olympiacos, and coach Oded Kattash had only words of praise for the upcoming game and Greek club.
“We are coming off two wins and want to continue that against a very strong team. Although its results have not been great recently, we know Olympiacos and know how dangerous they are. It’s challenging to play in front of this empty gym.
We need to take our feelings from Tel Aviv with us. The keys to the game for us are to control the rebounds, which is critical for us to run and score in transition. They have guards who play great defense. We need to be smart and take good care of the ball”, Oded Kattash said.
