The Yellow & Blue took off today from Ben Gurion Airport to Craiova, Romania and from there will take a two hour bus ride to town which sits right by the Romania/Serbia border in the southwest are of the county. Just prior to the flight, Eitan Tibi spoke to the Official Website about the challenge ahead:
“There no question that this won’t be an easy task and this is a tough opponent. It’s a team that we don’t really know that much about because they are not a regular domestic side that we normally would face. In a league match we would usually prepare differently than for a European game, but we are ready to go.”
Having a short break between seasons:
“We had a short break which has it’s pluses and minuses, we didn’t lose our fitness during that time ad it’s just a matter of getting better. We’re pretty fit for this time of year as we are still somewhat in preseason and I hope we will be at our best for this match.”
About the upcoming match:
“I’ve played many European matches since I’ve been with Maccabi and every game is unique in its own way. It will be tough but we’re coming to win the contest.”
