Last night (Saturday), Maccabi Tel Aviv lifted its first title of the season: the Winner’s Cup, which it won after a close and nerve-wracking battle against Hapoel Holon, which ended with a dramatic 84:86 and another piece of metal for the cluttered closet.
But among all the celebrants, there was one for whom it was a special evening – Omri Caspi, who is gradually returning from a serious injury from which he suffered throughout most of last season, and for just 15 minutes celebrated with 14 points, three rebounds, three assists and 4 of 5 from outside the arc . The day after the festivities, Caspi thanked in an excited post on Instagram – to everyone who accompanied him until that big moment.
“When I was on stage yesterday,” he said, “a lot of thoughts ran through my head and yes, also a few tears of excitement in my eyes. The worries, the pain, the flights, the surgery, the rehabilitation, retirement, return, reinforcements, the long way to the right to stand there with the group Mine and to know that anything is possible. ”
After a lot of personal thanks, he added a big thank you to Maccabi Tel Aviv as well: “I can only describe how much pressure, worries, money, insurance, doubts, etc. go through the system in the most natural and logical way possible. “With thinking together so that I can return in the best possible way. I have no words to thank you.”
