The Winner League held a press conference today (Wednesday) at Beit Histadrut ahead of Thursday\u2019s Super Cup (20:55) between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv at Menora Mivtachim Arena.<\/p>\n

Maccabi Tel Aviv head coach Oded Katash spoke first about Yam Madar and the matchup with his former team, \u201cWe\u2019re proud and happy to open the season, certainly with an interesting game like the one that\u2019s going to take place Thursday. Hapoel Tel Aviv presented a lot of challenges last year and I\u2019m sure they will continue to do so. There will be a lot of interesting matchups, including one with Madar.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom my brief experience with him as his coach, Yam enjoys himself when he focuses on basketball. We\u2019re still in the early stages of the season and there will also be a more significant distribution of minutes because we\u2019re in the process of getting into shape. At the same time, we need to win.\u201d

\nOn facing Hapoel coach Dimitris Itoudis, with whom he won the EuroLeague as a player at Panathinaikos, Katash said, \u201cI have a lot of respect for Coach Itoudis. Those were really special moments. It was magical, all the memories and the friends you meet from that team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kattash also addressed whether Madar\u2019s familiarity with Hapoel could provide an advantage, \u201cWe\u2019re very happy to have him. He\u2019s an excellent player and brings a lot of abilities. The fact that he played for Hapoel Tel Aviv shouldn\u2019t change too much because we\u2019ve played against them so many times. There are almost no secrets. We know all the players personally and how the teams play, so it doesn\u2019t give us an advantage beyond the fact that he\u2019s with us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Itoudis said he was excited to begin the season against Maccabi but noted the limited preseason preparation time ahead of the EuroLeague campaign, \u201cWe\u2019re proud and very happy to open the season against a very good opponent and team like Maccabi. There isn\u2019t a coach who wouldn\u2019t want a little more time in the preseason and the amount of time we have to get to know the players is becoming shorter because everything is geared toward the start of the EuroLeague. We\u2019re very excited and I hope there will be many meetings between us. I\u2019m happy that we\u2019re in Israel.\u201d

\nReflecting on his time coaching Kattash at Panathinaikos, Itoudis added, \u201cI was very proud to have Oded Katash on our side as a player. We worked really well together. It was tricky because he came with his own style of play into our system, but once he understood it, he flourished and brought titles and great moments. He was very coachable.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, his career ended as we know it. He had another year with us, but our relationship has continued over the years. When Oded decided to become a coach, we talked and met along the way. Everyone wants to win, but there is also respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Itoudis emphasized that Hapoel represents more than just its current roster, \u201cWe represent at Hapoel Tel Aviv not our names, but the community. Khadeen [Carrington], who is here, represents his teammates. We represent the community and the history.\u201d

\nLooking at the bigger picture, Itoudis said the Super Cup would be taken seriously despite the unusual circumstances surrounding Israeli basketball last season, \u201cThe league faced difficulties last year but managed to reach its conclusion, and congratulations to everyone on that. We didn\u2019t finish the season with the roster we wanted; circumstances led to that. A title is a title, so we will play for it and take it seriously. Whatever happens, happens. We have players who haven\u2019t played on the European stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked about Tamir Blatt who signed a contract with Hapoel, Itoudis said, \u201cRegarding Tamir, I only had one conversation with him throughout the summer. I don\u2019t know all the details regarding his injury, but I know that unfortunately it will keep him out of the team for several weeks. As for the strategy for the future, allow me not to reveal that because it is connected to a strategic move that the club will make in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maccabi guard Gabriel Lundberg, last season\u2019s playoff series MVP against Hapoel, highlighted the importance of preseason preparation and team chemistry, \u201cIt\u2019s always nice to have a full preseason with the team. Chemistry is very important in sports. My role doesn\u2019t depend on me but on the coaching staff; I\u2019m just here to help try to win.\u201d

\nLundberg added, \u201cEvery time you step onto the court, you have to give everything. This is good preparation for the EuroLeague. There will be a lot of mutual respect, but both teams will come to win. It will be fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khadeen Carrington, last season\u2019s Super Cup MVP with Hapoel Jerusalem against Maccabi, spoke about settling into his new team, \u201cIt\u2019s been good. My teammates and the coaching staff have really helped me settle in. I\u2019m focused on where I can help the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carrington added that the trophy would be taken seriously despite the derby aspect, \u201cWhenever you have the opportunity to play for a title, you have to take it seriously. It\u2019s another opportunity to step onto the court and perform. Besides the fact that it\u2019s a derby, it\u2019s an opportunity to play against a good team.\u201d
