“Our team is very special. We are together, one for another and for each other and we have an amazing fan base. When we get onto the pitch tomorrow we will hear the crowd and we know that they are behind us. I also know what we want and what the team, the club and the fans expect from us. It really doesn’t bother me what others think. We have to win tomorrow.”

The club’s offense:

“We were able to cut the gap with Beer Sheva and then we lost a couple of points over the last few matches. We are in good shape and have been playing well. We have scored the most goals in the league and have an advantage in goal differential that we may need. We will have to see where we stand after the match tomorrow.”

Giving up a goal:

“We aren’t thinking about giving up a goal here or there. One goal won’t decide the whole season. If we give up or score a goal we have to keep pushing.”

Expectations for the match tomorrow:

“Most teams play the counter attack against us and we don’t know what our opponent will do against us tomorrow. We can’t worry about them and we’ve seen the counter attack against us all year o we are used to it.”

The club’s experience in these types of matches:

“We have been in very important matches the past few years be it the State Cup Final or the Champions League qualifiers, we know how to handle these types of situations and we are focussing on tomorrow’s game.”

The importance of winning the title:

“I want to win this year like I’ve never won before. This is like our first ever title. We want to win. It hasn’t been this close the past few years but we are up for the challenge.”

On Daniel Lifshitz playing goal:

“You’re not talking about a young keeper. He may not have played for the top clubs, but he has played in many matches and is a veteran. He is vey string mentally and knows that we are behind him and everything will be fine.”
