ERAN ZAHAVI: We feel great and we're optimistic. We will enjoy the football and we want to win.
SLAVISA JOKANOVIC: I feel good, but the question is how we will feel after the game. At home we didn't do a good job but we have a chance to change that now for the 2nd half and everything is still open. And Plzen did a great job in Tel Aviv. But we will try 100% to advance.
What did you change from the last match?
JOKANOVIC: We didn't play a bad game in Tel Aviv. There were a few moments when we didn't concentrate and we missed some details. In Europe clubs like Plzen punished us for our mistakes. We have to play with confidence and not make those types of mistakes again. We made changes and we will not give them as many chances as we did last game.
The weather is hot right now in Plzen. Is this an advantage for you coming from Tel Aviv?
JOKANOVIC: The temperatures are about the same but I don't think that there is any advantage as we will play 11 vs 11 and we will show our best on the pitch.
During the first match the Plzen players were ready for you Eran Zahavi and you had problems creating chances. What have you done to change this?
