Maccabi Tel Aviv will host Fenerbahce tomorrow (Thursday) in the sixth round of the Euroleague, and after the dramatic victory over Moscow Khimki in overtime in the previous round, they will try to register a third victory in the European factory.

The opponent, who is open for a season without coach Zeljko Obradovic, who left in the summer, has the same balance as the Yellows so far in the Euroleague - 3: 2.

"Fenerbahce have lost three games in a row, it makes them more dangerous," coach Yannis Sapropoulos said tonight at a press conference ahead of the game.

"They have experienced players, some new players and a good coach. We need to be focused. We have analyzed them and we know what their pros and cons are."

The coach added: "Fenerbahce has a character, their coach Kokushkov comes from the NBA and has a lot of experience. He has an offensive and defensive method. This is a different team from last season, with a lot of new players but experienced players who know the job. Our plan is to stop They all have. They have de Colo and Brown who create a lot, but the others must not be ignored. The game against Hapoel Haifa in the Winner's Cup will help Nan get in the rhythm. We can improve our game, we will also improve no doubt. At this point it is enough, but we can play "Better, and you can see it - we have better minutes in every game and we try to move forward."

In conclusion, Sapropoulos said: "Last year we did something against de Colo and this year we can not because we do not have Sussman. But we will find solutions for their players. I believe our players are improving defensively, and I trust them. The situation in this year's Euroleague is special, even if Corona "Influenced. There are teams that played two games and there are those that played five. Like everything in our lives, basketball is affected by the corona."
