Omer Atzili, the Maccabi Tel Aviv winger looked forward to Monday night’s (21:00) Tel Aviv Derby versus Hapoel at the Moshava Stadium in Petah Tikva:
“I’ve played in one Derby with Maccabi to date. I want to give my all with the goal of helping the squad.”
Achieving goals:
“We still have a lot to prove and there’s a long way to go to achieve our goals. I hope we can continue on our way tomorrow.”
Favorites?
“We aren’t really focusing on that but on ourselves. We all know that a Derby has its own rules. We plan on come into the game modestly and do the best we can.”
Continuing to play well:
“We weren’t great in the last Derby and the match ended in a goalless draw. We have to be ready like we have been over the last number of matches and continue playing well. Everyone understands how important the Derby is. We want to take home the 3 points.”
Preparing for various types of game styles:
We are prepared for many types of games. A lot of teams have come to play defensively against us but we have been able to deal with that style of play. Hopefully that will be the same story tomorrow, come in prepared and take the 3 points.”
Physically fit:
“I’m feeling physically good on the pitch and I understood that is what I had to do if I wanted to play.”
