Kaunas “Žalgiris” is preparing for another serious challenge in the Euroleague: on Thursday he will have to fight the team “Maccabi” from Tel Aviv.

The Israeli club started the season modestly and only managed two victories in seven rounds. However, a lot of mistakes have been made in the last few minutes, and team strategist Ioannis Sfairopoulos remains happy with the fight he has shown against European grandchildren.

Last season, “Žalgiris” missed the trip to Israel – the season due to the coronavirus was interrupted before the scheduled meeting. In Kaunas, the Lithuanian champions then won 73:68.

Before the flight, the strategists of “Žalgiris” shared their thoughts on the next match Martin Schiller.

“The Tel Aviv team has been injured. They are still looking for themselves, looking for their own rhythm. Basic things”, – the Austrians reviewed the bad start of the rivals.

– How will it be necessary to stop rival leader Scottie Wilbekin?

– Yes, it will need a lot of attention. It is a very great threat, although it is certainly not the only one. We will look for suitable players to defend against him. We have already had several similar situations this season.

– What does Maccabi lose if he doesn’t play Othello Hunter?

– We do not know yet if he will not play, but we are preparing as if he were playing. You have a headache, but we have no guaranteed information. Of course, it will be important under the baskets and preparing as if you were playing.

– Rokas Jokubaitis has already returned to training, how does he look on the field?

– Train and look good. The situation is delicate, but everything is monitored by doctors and everything looks good.

– What conclusions did you draw after the match against Real?

– We put the greatest emphasis on defense. I think there were key points where we needed to stretch. We will work and strive to improve.
