Hapoel Holon coach admitted that the victory came to Tenerife, whose star Marcelo Huarts said: "We knew in every move what needed to be done" • Joe Ragland: "We have more tasks this season"


Hapoel Holon is disappointed to miss the opportunity to play in the Champions League final, but is still looking for the bright spots in the battle against Tenerife.

Coach Guy Goodes concludes: "At first we were a bit shocked because this is our first time in the Final Four, and they dominated the opening game. We made some changes in the half and managed to come back. Unfortunately some of our mistakes made them take the lead at the end. In the end they won, they were The better team. "

Goodes expanded a bit: "The first half was less good for us. In the second half we made adjustments. We were already leading and it could have gone here or there. We made mistakes and there was also bad luck. It was not our best game and it was natural because there was excitement.

"We need to see the whole picture and see the way we did here. We broke the glass ceiling, when we were the first Israeli team to reach the Final Four of the Champions League."

The Holon coach did not forget to thank the really important people: "I am very proud of the players, the management system and the fans. It is not obvious that 1000 fans pay a lot of money and come this far. In the players' show, it made us all shiver."

Holon's outstanding player Joe Ragland added: "We worked hard and we had a chance to win, but we did not do it. It is disappointing. They are an organized and strong team. Their offensive rebound was the big blow we suffered.

"I don't think we were missing anything special to win, we just lost it in the end. They did the right things and won."

Another Margland: "Great credit to coach Guy Goodes for a great season we did. I'm a player who always prefers delivery, but today I felt it was hard for them to keep me. We lost, but we have more tasks this season."

In games like this one has to take responsibility. We are a team that knew in this game, in every move, what it should do. We are proud of what we did." .

Tenerife coach Choss Vidorta added: "We knew how to find solutions when Holon returned.

For us it is a great victory.

Hopefully on Sunday we will win this trophy for the second time. '
