After a forced break of more than two weeks, Maccabi Tel Aviv will return to activity tomorrow (Thursday, 21:05) when it hosts Olympiacos at Menora Mivtachim Hall and will try to return to the winning track after eight consecutive losses at the European plant.
Yannis Sapropoulos said tonight (Wednesday) at the press conference: "We are back to play after a long period due to the Corona problems and we meet the most stable team this season. They play great basketball, they are also very good on defense and it is a big challenge for us to play against such a good team. We hope that the players who recovered from the corona will arrive in good shape. "

"We will play like crazy because we have 33 games waiting for us in 100 days and we have to be mentally prepared because it is not easy. We have to fight for all the games because it is a club that has to win. But we will not risk players who are not one hundred percent qualified."
The Greek coach added: "When we lose I am guilty, when we win it's the players. That's the reality. I do not forget our situation and that we are with eight consecutive losses. I fought to have a good pre-season and I knew that if it did not happen, it would affect the rest of the season." .
Purchasing player Kyrie Thomas underwent medical tests and began training with the team, but will likely not be on the squad for the game after not playing for an extended period and needs to return to playing fitness.
Meanwhile, the postponed game against Basconia will be held on March 1.
