We spoke about Paris already and how different they are, we will be ready for it.

There are still things we need to polish and be a bit more team-oriented, but the energy was there. We came out with good body language, and I think that\u2019s something we absolutely need. Against Paris, there&#8217;s not much time to think, because everything will happen very quickly, especially on the defensive end. And offensively, what we do need, especially for tomorrow, is to be a bit calmer, to play simpler and lose the ball less.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_155394\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-155394\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_6571.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-155394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_6571.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_6571-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_6571-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_6571-610x407.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/IMG_6571-1080x720.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-155394\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dimitrios Itoudis &#8211; Photo credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nOver at Hapoel, Dimitrios Itoudis, Colin Malcolm and Ish Wainright looked ahead to facing EFES, \u201cChatima Tova.
