Omri Ben Harush, the Yellow-and-Blue left back is preparing for the upcoming Israel State Cup quarter final first leg match against Hapoel Kfar Saba that will take place tomorrow, Wednesday night away at Levita Stadium, 21:00. Ben Harush discussed the club’s defense, the team’s objectives, his own game and Sunday night’s Derby:

“What you see on the pitch is different than what we see. We know that sometimes players waste time and it’s part of the game. But the time is valuable. There was an issue with one of their players that had gone down on the pitch and we didn’t want to give them back the ball. We want to score and win.”

On his own style of play:

“When I have a chance to attack I can, especially when there is a player like winger Tal Ben Chaim who can help out on one on ones. He’s one of the best in the league.”

Talk that the defense is slow:

“We have one of the fastest defense’s in the league. Between me, Tibi and Eli, I don’t believe that we are slow. I’ll play as long as the coach let’s me.”

The league schedule:

“I don’t think that it bothers us. Sometimes we play before Beer Sheva and sometimes afterwards. We are concentrating on ourselves. Maybe this year we may have had less chances but as the coach said we have been facing teams that are trying to really defend against us and it makes it more difficult for us to get chances. We have been a dominant team and we have to take advantage of our opportunities.”

About  the Hapoel Kfar Saba match:

“We come into every game wanting to control the ball for large portions of the match. We move it from side to side with the objective of going forward towards the opposition’s goal.”
