He knows what I want from him and what the team wants from him and that will not change.
We have an understanding and I'm glad he was good today.

The coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Oded Ketch said: "I think this game can be summed up in energy.
We haven't found our energies throughout the last few days.
The first half was very anemic for us, we played properly offensively but missed a lot of shots.
As soon as we didn't score we started forcing things and it didn't work.
"We lost the game in my opinion in the first half.
It's the kind of day when even you want to, you can't.
It's an unpleasant loss, it's a big game.
We got to the game with our tongues out and this is how it looks.
They hit big shots that took us back.
It's not pleasant, but there is still a long season.'
Lorenzo Braun had a slight pain in his leg and we didn't want to risk him, there is no message here.
We will rotate throughout the season.'
