Hapoel Holon players celebrate (Hagai Michaeli)
Hapoel Holon’s journey in the FIBA Champions League continues, and this morning (Monday) Stefanos Dadas and his trainees left for Turkey, where they will meet the local Topash Stock Exchange in the second round of the top 16 at the factory.
Holonia will not have much of a mind in the coming days as after the game against Topash, the team will take off for northern Macedonia where they will play against the local Komanovo in the Balkan League on Wednesday. The way back to Israel will also be no less than a journey for the Yellow-Purples who will arrive in Athens on a flight from Skopje and as revealed in ONE, Dadas and his trainees will return to Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv after the national champions’ game against Panathinaikos in the Euroleague.
Unlike its last two games, Hapoel Holon will get Isaiah Miles back, who has left with the team and will be available to the professional team. Miles, who was found positive for Corona, ended the isolation period and joined the trip after the two previous tests came back with negative results.
The team coach, Stefanos Dadas, He said ahead of the game: ‘Another game is difficult and important for us in the Champions League. Topash is a big club with a long tradition in Turkish basketball, it is a top team in the Turkish league, which is one of the best leagues in Europe. We know that at this stage of the Champions League every win and every point has great significance. We will come and try to represent the club and Israeli basketball again successfully in European competitions, and once again cause pride and joy to our fans. “
