Just one day after the Christmas holidays, the stress begins again for Alba Berlin.The Berliners have to play three games in seven days - originally there were even four."It will be a very hairy week," predicts manager Marco Baldi.The game starts at Medi Bayreuth on Monday in the basketball Bundesliga (19.00/Magenta sport).
"We will take the game very seriously, because it is the prelude to an amazing week.That would be good if we could go in with a good feeling, "said Baldi.Bayreuth started the season well, but last weakened a little.The Alba manager still warns of the Franks: "We know that it is always difficult in Bayreuth.We have seen that many times."
At least one exhausting trip is no longer necessary for Alba.The Euroleague game on Wednesday at Armani Milan fails.After several corona cases in the team, the Italians can no longer set the required eight players.Although this relieves the schedule, this also brings with it an uncertainty."At the moment you know much less what tomorrow is.Therefore, everything you can put on the has on the have has to try, "said Baldi.
But even if the German champion didn't have to play on the Christmas holidays this year, the actors could only enjoy the festive season little.Because it was also trained on these days.On Christmas Day, the team traveled to Bayreuth.This schedule comes across criticism."I think it's very, very bad that it is so regulated that you don't even have a day or two to see the family longer at Christmas.I find a little sad, "said national player Johannes Thiemann.
