The FC Bayern basketball players return to the court after a two-week forced break due to a Corona team quarantine. It will be a difficult cold start for the Munich team.
On Monday, after the free tests of some players, the Bundesliga club could head to Athens, where the Munich team is scheduled to face Panathinaikos in the Euroleague on Tuesday (20.00). For coach Andrea Trinchieri and his team, it will be a difficult cold start in Europe without proper preparation after several match cancellations recently.
“We have been in a kind of emergency situation all season. The current phase is no exception,” Trinchieri expressed. The Italian is pragmatic: “We have to deal with this reality and accept the unfortunate circumstances.”
For Bayern, it is “a very important game” in the fight for a place among the top eight teams, as Vladimir Lucic said. However, the vice-captain also noted, “As everyone knows, we had big covid problems and couldn’t train at all. So a lot of guys are out of shape or not really resilient. “
