GOODES, GUY
Maccabi Rishon LeZion
"We are very happy. This is a very strong competition and there are a lot of very good teams. The first two games we were struggling, but we had 30 very good minutes against Bologna away and today we started the game very strong. We took the lead. But in the end, we were a little fatigued. We turned it over too much. But in the end, we got the victory and that’s what is important. We have a lot of players who are in European competition for the first time: some young players and some veterans who have never been on this stage. And I think the first two games were kind of to understand what we will face, meaning potential, aggressiveness, speed of the game. We played very well today. We started pretty good defensively and offensively. We were tired at the end but the victory was the number one thing for us."
