Maccabi Tel Aviv have moved into first place for the time being following a Matchday Four 3:0 victory against Hapoel Raanana. The Yellow & Blue were the superior side throughout the contest and earned the important 3-points as the Club still has two more matches this coming week.
Eyal Golasa who entered the game as a substitute and had a hand in the third goal said: “I missed playing. I have been waiting for my chance and I hope that I’ll be able to play more minutes. The rotation here is big and each one of us has to prove ourselves during the training sessions. There are very good players here who have played together for a long time. I took into account that it will take time and I’m sure that I’ll be able to help out the Club reach its goals.”
About the minutes he’s played so far:
“There are many players who are we getting minutes as they thought they would, the coach has a Starting XI that he trusts and that’s legitimate. The season is plenty long and I believe that I’ll get my minutes along the way. I have no regrets, I’m 200% happy that I came to Maccabi.”
Feelings after the Zenit match:
“Everyone was disappointed, but this is football and we have to look ahead. Almost every two days we have a match and we are moving on.”
Battling for a Starting XI position:
“If you’re in the Starting XI then that’s great, but if not, you have to wait until the next training session and work even harder. Throughout Europe there are always battles going on to get playing time. Journalists like to make big deals about these things and that’s their job.”
