Micic: I Want to Finish My Career at Hapoel Tel Aviv

Serbian playmaker Vasilije Micic said he wants to finish his career at Hapoel Tel Aviv. Speaking to Israel Hayom, the player said he is enjoying the game with the team again and wants to stay at the club for a long time. He said he asked for a four-year contract, but they agreed on three years.

Micic said he worked very hard on his physical preparation this summer. He said he is not genetically very gifted and has to work hard to stay at the top level. He said he currently feels good and confident.

Micic also responded to claims of tension with head coach Dimitris Itoudis. He said he is not an easy person to manage and that he and Itoudis occasionally have different views. However, he said they have a common goal and that as long as they keep looking in the same direction, there will be no problem.

In EuroLeague, Micic is averaging 14.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game. Over his last three games, he averaged 18.3 points.
