While still recovering from the painful loss to Olympiacos, Maccabi Tel Aviv held a press conference tonight (Wednesday) ahead of tomorrow's important game against Basconia (Thursday, 21:05).
Yannis Sapropoulos said: "We want to recover from the loss to Olympiacos. We lost one battle, but the war is still going on. We will be ready to fight. We respect Basconia which is a good team, but it is important for us to focus on ourselves and less on the opponent."
"There are ups and downs for every team in the Euroleague and indeed there are games that we looked less good," the Greek coach added. ".
Sapropoulos was also asked about Yuval Sussman's difficulties since returning from injury and replied: "The players who have returned from injuries are not yet at their peak fitness, neither are John Dibertolomeo and Omri Caspi. And stand behind them. "
