Katas: “We need to be prepared for the tension that Olympiacos comes out in his game”

Olympiacos traveled to Belgrade to face the Maccabi Tel Aviv For the 5th Euroleague match, wanting to return to victories after his home defeat by Efes.

The coach of the Israeli team, Ondend Katashe made statements ahead of the match, distinguishing Vezenkov and Milutinov, while stressing how important it is for his players to cope with the high intensity of the “reds” in their game.

Maccabi’s coach’s statements:



“Olympiacos is a team that looks like Barcelona and is different from it. The way they try to create an advantage is quite similar to that of Barcelona, ​​but their pace is different. They have Milutinov, who is very tall and dominant, and we need to know how to protect ourselves properly. It will also be crucial how to deal with Vezenkov. He creates a lot of space for his teammates in the way he moves and we need to know how to react.

In the first half Barcelona surprised us. We didn’t expect to open the game like that. They left us uneasy and it was a not -so -pleasant experience. In the second half we responded well and we have to continue against Olympiacos. We have to be more aggressive and be prepared for the intensity of the game ».
