Neven Spahija talked to the press how proud he was after his team victory: “It was our best game since the beginning of the season. The effort is pretty much the story. You may miss shot, but that’s the effort. We had 22 rebounds and we want to keep doing it“.
Then, Maccabi‘s coach was asked about Maccabi getting back its status in Europe: “You can say that more than because I don’t know anything about the past three years. I know what I wanted to do and we don’t need to overreact. It’s really early and we are able to play against everybody. That’s what I can say after six games. I don’t know what’s the next level. Beating Real Madrid is pretty good, but we have to stay on that level. “.
“I have to control my emotions better. My players demonstrated mental toughness and that’s what gave us the game”, Spahija concluded.
