Tel Ben Haim on the final: "We are very excited; reaching the cup final was a goal we set out to ourselves at the start of the season. We are happy to make it so far, and now it’s time to win the cup, which would be the first for many players in the squad”.
Although he played in a few big games in his career, Ben Haim admits: “There is a different kind of excitement when it comes to a knockout game, especially when you play in the final. It is not the same as preparing for a regular league fixture. We achieved two of our goals this season, and now it is time to achieve the third one- bringing home the State Cup and to win the treble”.
Ben Haim added his thoughts on the roster for the game, in which several players are missing due to injuries and suspensions: “Each player here is probably good enough to play at any position. I have full confidence in the players who will replace those who are injured or suspended. Everyone in the team wants to win and to finish the season in a high note”.
