Gal Alberman took a look back at his Club’s performance Thursday night in a 1:0 loss to Irish side Dundalk FC. The Yellow & Blue Captain talked about wanting to continue the team’s good form prior to the international break, separating league and European play and looking at what needs to be done now going forward:

“We had hoped to have taken more points than we have up to now but we aren’t raising our hands up just yet. The results make things a bit complicated but we aren’t going to look to far ahead and take it game by game. Every match is worth three points and we’ll see where this takes us going forward.”

About the match itself:

“It was not a simple game and a style that was different from what we have encountered in the past. The British way of playing is high tempo and physical and we unfortunately had a tough time with that today. We have a match against Alkmaar in a few weeks and we have to be ready for that next match and we will have to do the maximum to take three points there.”

Comparing league and European play:

“It’s hard to look and compare this game with the matches we played in the domestic league. We have plenty of experience to know how to make the separation between the two competitions. We know that European contests are much more difficult and more intense, today we weren’t able to play the football that we like to play. But I don’t think you cane look at the previous league games and say that this had an effect on our match against Dundalk.”

Looking ahead:

“We will have to do the most to take three points in the next European match and then look at league play. We are used to playing tough games and we’ve done so in the past. It’s too bad we couldn’t continue our good form before going on the International break as we really wanted to do so and win before we heading off. After the break we will have to begin a new run.”
