In light of that, Maccabi held its official season launching press conference, attended by the shareholders, sponsors, management, the coaching staff and the players.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Club chairman, Shimon Mizrahi, spoke first: &#8220;I think we have an excellent squad that was built without sparing any expense. I wish good luck and success to all of us&#8221;. Newly appointed CEO, Hagay Badash, elaborated on the budget: &#8220;This budget represents an all-time high for Maccabi &#8211; over 100 Million Shekels (approx. 25 million Dollars). In my estimate, that puts us in about the 8th or 9th place out of 16 Euroleague teams. Of course, what matters most to us is success on the court. But in my view, professional success is linked to success on both a managerial and a strategic level. Our aim is to use all other levels to assist the professional level&#8221;.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Badash accentuated the use of analytics and big data as a way to improve the team&#8217;s performance: &#8220;I think even a club with the stature and history of Maccabi has a lot to learn from other teams and other sports. The use of analytics has been proven as a useful tool for teams worldwide&#8221;.<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t\t\u00a0<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"> \t\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Coach Erez Edelstein spoke of the team&#8217;s recent injury woes (Quincy miller and Itay Segev are currently recovering from long term injuries and might not play this season while Andrew Goudelock and Sonny Weems are nursing lighter injuries): &#8220;We won&#8217;t use that as an excuse. There&#8217;s no such thing as a vacuum in Basketball. We have a very deep squad and other players will step up. So far, we&#8217;ve seen a lot of ups and downs, as is traditional for this stage of the season. My message for the players has been the same since i started: &#8216;If we show our fans a team that gives 150% of itself and if we play according to our system, things will come together and results will follow'&#8221;.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div> \t\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi Fox Tel Aviv held its season opening press conference.
