Gal Alberman, the Yellow & Blue Captain came on board the latest episode of the Maccabi-Cast to discuss the club’s recent results, the recently retired Rada Prica, thus evening’s contest at Kiryat Shemona and how the International break went over the past couple of weeks:
“It went well. A bunch of guys were with their National Teams and we were busy training and getting ourselves ready for the schedule ahead.”
Thoughts on Maccabi’s form of late:
“We didn’t have good momentum when we came back from the last break. We played well but the results weren’t there. I hope we can get right back onto the winning track on Sunday.”
More on the Club’s recent run:
“There are certain things in football and in sports in general that just can’t be explained. We had some great games where we were scoring and winning, but then we just couldn’t score. That’s sports. We are a team that has many years of experience and we are always looking ahead, the recent results are history. Even though we have played many matches so far this campaign the season is young.”
The various competitions that Maccabi is participating in:
“We are trying to do as well as possible in all the competitions that we are in with the goal to advance as far as we can in each tournament. Be it the Toto Cup, Europa League and State Cup it doesn’t really matter what it is as we are trying our best in each and we are not labeling one as more important than the other.”
Tonight’s match at Kiryat Shemona:
“It’s not an easy pitch and every match that we play there is never easy, but our goal is to come home with three points. We are going up north to do the best that we can and I can’t remember the last time Maccabi had a spell where we didn’t win any matches like this recent one.”
About Rada Prica:
“Rada Prica’s story is quite amazing. I don’t recall a player who was so special from his first match and first touch. He assisted on a goal against Beer Sheva and he was one of the greatest players that I had the privilege to play with. I had so many discussions with him about what it was like coming to Maccabi to play at a more advanced age than most and he had such an amazing desire to do so well. He couldn’t understand why he didn’t come to play with us earlier on in his career.”
