Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Spanish central defender Carlos Garcia was given last match off in the State Cup tournament and will be ready to go for Monday’s match against Beitar Jerusalem. Garcia talked about how the club felt after the 2:4 loss to Beitar at Bloomfield Stadium last round, wanting to win every match and thanked his coach Peter Bosz:
“I want to thank the coach for the kind words he said about me, and I hope that he will think the same way at the end of the season.”
About the last match against Beitar Jerusalem:
“Last game against Beitar was tough. We can’t concede 4 goals again. When you lose 2:4 at home like we did, it gave us plenty of motivation to make sure that it won’t happen again. We’re hungry for the chance to play them again. If we could have played Beitar right after that loss we would have shown our real qualities and what we really could do. We are all looking forward to the match.”
The winning attitude:
“Since I’ve been at Maccabi Tel Aviv we’ve always had to win every game and we expect to win every game. It doesn’t matter when or what, a friendly or not we have to win every game with Maccabi Tel Aviv.”
