His collaboration Giannis Sfeiropoulos with Maccabi Tel Aviv could not be described as mild. Where the work seems to be going in a straight line, adversities appear on the horizon and blur the high plans of the Greek coach.
Another rupture in their relationship was yesterday’s exclusion from Hapoel Tel Aviv in the semifinals of the cup with 90-80 and the people of Maccabi are unhappy – again – with the development of the season.
After the end of the match, Giannis Sfeiropoulos made statements and pointed out the wrong texts.
Specifically, he mentioned:
«In the first half we deserved to have a bigger lead. We did not defend so well, but offensively we were at a satisfactory level. At halftime we talked about how to improve in defense, but unfortunately we did not succeed and failed in many lay-ups in the painted. Also, in the one-on-one defenses we did not stop them».
He went on to criticize, saying “we did not play at the level we would have liked, we lacked the required motivation and in the defense we faced problems».
If a player needs to increase their performance, complete “I do not think that one should improve in particular, we failed in many kicks and open shots while at the same time the opponents scored easy baskets; it makes sense to accept pressure. We fought, although it was not enough».
At the closing he addressed the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, “I would like to I apologize to the fans us for the victory. I know what it means and it bothers me».
