The wish of victory of Maccabi Tel Aviv over Panathinaikos to give some joy to the team’s sports fans after what he is living in Israel, expressed o Odent Katas.
Her coach Maccabi he stood on the energy of his players, as well as on the adherence to the plan, however, to a question he received about the continuation, he answered that with what is happening in his country, he cannot look ahead.
Oded Katas’ statements in detail:
“As I said after the game with Valencia, basketball comes second for us. Two nights before, we had no power. This morning we decided to focus on basketball and that’s what we did. We had another energy, we helped and supported each other. I am proud of this victory. We played very well in the first half, defensive rebounding. We stuck to our plan. In the second half we played against a very talented team. But we found a way to win. It was not easy, it never is, especially in this period, but the challenges are greater.
We have no idea where we will play. Have to wait. We have a situation, we can’t plan a week or two ahead. However, we support each other on and off the court. I hope, I hope that something will happen and change the situation quickly. We will wait and see. I hope we gave some joy to our fans, I’m sure they would be happy for this win. It’s the least we can do. Although winning or losing a basketball game takes a back seat during this period.
The situation we saw on October 7 was dire. It wasn’t just another terrorist attack, it was something much bigger. Our thoughts are every second in the world back home. May we live all over the world in peace. I don’t want to talk about politics, but our feelings are awful. But we are Israelis, we never give up and we will win».
