Three away goals for and one goal against. This is the situation that Maccabi finds itself as they head back to Israel for the second leg next Thursday night at the Netanya Stadium. Predrag Rajikovic who starred in the game, discussed his feelings about the match and what it was like to have his family in the stands:
“This was a good result for us as it was an away game, but we didn’t play well. We must play better next match but I believe that we’ll be ok because if the result that we had here.”
About his performance:
“I made two or three good saves and I felt really good about it. This my job and I have to continue to do what needs to be done on the pitch and improve. I always try to be the best that I can be.”
The opponent:
“We saw Pandurii on video and they weren’t bad, but our problem was that we didn’t play our game. They had plenty of quality counter attacks. After we scored the second goal it was much easier to control the ball and the flow of the game and especially after the third goal.”
On his special guests that were in the stands:
“It’s a lot of fun to play in front of my father and sister. My mother didn’t come because she is scared to watch me play so she never has really seen me in action.”
