Before training, coach Guy Goodes held an official press conference to open the campaign.

For Goodes, who is currently locking up the Premier League table with Maccabi Rishon Lezion, this is the first window as the national coach, a position he was appointed about two months ago in place of Oded Katash.

For the first time as national coach.

"Rise is a supreme goal for us, it's a big challenge," Gods said. "Looking too far can be confusing."



Remember, team games clash with Euroleague games, so many teams cannot summon their stars. On this the national coach said: "The format is there, there is nothing to do. The clash between the two factories exists and I do not believe it will change any time soon. Every team brings whoever it can because of the clashes. We have nothing to do with it, on paper the fact that we have level players "High and Euroleague players it helps, but it has to be translated into action on the pitch."



Goodes thanked Maccabi Tel Aviv for being the only Euroleague team to have released players for the next window.

Yiftach Ziv and Jake Cohen will participate in both games, while John Dibertolomao and Roman Sorkin will join the second game against Estonia.

Another senior player on the team, Yam Madar, is dealing with injuries but Goodes believes he can play: "He plays for the best coach in Europe and it only helps him to be better and more mature. It is important for every player's career. He has suffered minor injuries, he is treated and I believe To be fit to play. "



Goodes' predecessor, Oded Katash, wanted to be a national team player, but it seems that Goodes does not hold the same opinion on this issue: "Look at the staff, I think it is quality. There were not many years of staff growing together, a combination of old and young, the best mix "Everyone plays in Europe, with experience, so why should a citizen?"

Will the campaign open on the right foot?

One of the team's veteran players, Gal Makal, commented on the opening of the new campaign: "Every game is critical, unequivocal. In this format there is no difference between winning in the first stage and the second stage and that's why every game is important. "Something big, it starts now in the World Cup qualifiers and hopes to continue in the summer at the European Championships."



"There are players whose role can be greater than in previous campaigns," said Mekel. Now, more than in previous years, there are a lot of players abroad who play at a high level. It's a big bonus for our basketball and the team. "

After the game on Thursday, the team will travel to Tallinn for a game against the Estonian team on Sunday.

The Estonians will meet the German team on Thursday away, with Israel meeting Germany for a pair of meetings in the next window in February.

The three teams in the first places will qualify for the second house stage, and will draw with them the results from the first house.

Israel intersects for the next round with the third house, which includes the teams of Sweden, Finland, Slovenia and Croatia.
