After the big victory over Spain and before the game against Poland (Monday, 17:30) in which a victory will finally ensure promotion to the 2022 European Championship, the players of the Israeli national team trained at the training facility in Valencia.
"It is important to put the victory we made behind and understand that it does not give us even one point in the game against the Poles,"
Oded Katash
said
before training, "We meet a very good team that gave a purposeful performance against Romania. A very aggressive, physical and high pace game is expected. It's much wider, it's not going to be easy. "
"They have received significant reinforcements with Ponitka. The fact that Slaughter is not playing may make them more team-oriented," the coach added, "Polish basketball is developing, and it must not be forgotten that they also beat the Spaniards so there is no favorite in this game."
Tamir Blatt
, who excelled against the Spaniards, added: "I think it's my best game on the team. We made an important and big win and I'm glad I had a part of it. The more I enjoy the better I play."
"It will not be an easy game at all. Poland is a great team with a good coach and great players. We will do our best. We will have to be aggressive with them equally and want more from them. They have size, but we have a big heart."
