Eyal Golasa, the Yellow & Blue’s recently acquired midfielder returned to Israel after a couple of seasons in Greece spoke on the assembled media following the match about the game itself, future Derbies, being back in Israel and playing in his first Tel Aviv Derby:
“I’m getting used to the atmosphere and of course the Derby, but most importantly is that we won.”
Returning to Israel:
“After two seasons it’s strange to be back home but it’s fun to be here in Israel again and it’s easier. I hope that I’ll be able to help out the team as much as possible this season and contribute as much as I can. I’m not looking to far ahead.”
The next task:
“The atmosphere was good and I’m happy that we won and I’m happy to give back to the supporters, now we can turn our sight’s on Thursday night’s Europa League playoff match against Hajduk Split.”
The Derby:
“We played a very strong lineup today and it’s always fun to win a Derby and we worked very hard to win this match. It may have looked easy but it definitely wasn’t. They have some good players as do we and we will all continue to get better and there will be more good Derby matchups.”
