Itoudis: Efes changed its team structure

Hapoel Tel Aviv will host our representative Anadolu Efes in Round 8 of the EuroLeague. Ahead of the match, Hapoel head coach Dimitris Itoudis made statements.

Itoudis said they would be playing against two experienced opponents and that they were starting a new back-to-back week of games. The coach, who said Efes had changed its team structure and that this had brought the team good results, stressed that the rival plays very aggressively on both ends of the court, thanks to its different lineup combinations and experience at every position.

Recalling that Hapoel took the court after a heavy defeat in the Israeli league, Itoudis said his team is trying to recover and keep its EuroLeague run alive. Saying they would face a very demanding and aggressive opponent, the coach stated that they need full focus for 40 minutes to leave with a win against Efes.
