Maccabi Tel Aviv will try to break a streak of two losses in the Euroleague when they host the Spanish Valencia tomorrow (Thursday, 21:05, Sports Channel) in the 12th round of the tournament.
Maccabi's coach, Oded Ketch, spoke before the game: "This is another difficult game.
We are playing against a team that has had three very impressive away wins so we don't think we will win easily at home.
They are an aggressive team with a lot of dominant and aggressive talls.
There will be a difficult fight in rebounding, especially with the disadvantage of Alex (Poithers - TG) who will have to cover for him.
Hopefully Wade will train well and be able to play."
Regarding the lack of Poithers, Ketch said: "It's very worrying, it's not only worrying in terms of games and victories but also in terms of the crazy load on other players.
The urgency to bring in another player is maximum, but the market is tough."
Ketch also referred to Daron Hilliard's suspension: "The case with him had no effect at all.
As soon as there is honesty and openness and the players are given the right message.
The thing that came out is that Hilliard was against me and it really wasn't like that, it's a matter of a system that should outline conduct and a path.
We didn't take it personally and are moving forward, there is a way, codes of the club that need to set limits, so if you are very clear and direct, the players will also accept it that way."
were we wrong
