The Yellow-and-Blue defeated Bnei Yehuda 1:0 on Matchday 25 of the WINNER League away at Bloomfield Stadium.
Maccabi Tel Aviv Head Coach Peter Bosz spoke about his club’s 1:0 win:
“We were a bit disappointed at the end of the match but we had many chances to take a bigger lead, however we just weren’t able to find the extra goals. The game ended up being more exciting but also more dangerous.”
On creating scoring chances:
“It could be that in another match just one goal wouldn’t be enough. But creating scoring chances is very important and that’s exactly what we did. We really needed to score a second goal to put away the match.”
The way the club came to play:
“It could be this formation or another formation, but it all comes down to how the players perform on the pitch. When you have two defensive backs playing forward they become just like two strikers. Today we put Eran Zahavi next to Orlando Sa and the two defensive backs next to the midfielders. Next we could be a totally different formation.”
About the battle for first place:
“Beer Sheva isn’t losing points, but we aren’t losing points as well. There’s a long way to go.”
