Veteran defensive midfielder Gal Alberman discussed the Yellow & Blue’s 2:0 loss against Hapoel Beer Sheva in the southern capital. The Captain talked about the good start to the season the Club had, the important games coming up and about the match itself:
“We came here to play our football today and we played well for a good stretch but we paid the price for our mistakes. At the end of the day we are leaving here disappointed but it’s still early on and it will be you to decide the differences between the clubs.”
Important matches coming up:
“We were on a good run before the International break and now we are a bit on the downside but we have a very important match on Thursday in the Europa League and a crucial league match as well. We know how to play in two different competitions and it’s still too early to know what will be in the future.”
The Maccabi system:
“This is the system we have been using for a long time at Maccabi and we have a coach who will decide what to do to get us back onto the right track. But again we have had a good system with the same players and it has worked. The media will say that we are in trouble, but really we have played extremely well in many games this season as well as today where we played well but the score didn’t reflect the result.”
Opening the season well:
“Two weeks ago, everyone was saying that we were a better team than last year and we all looked at the statistics and saw that we opened the season really well, but then after two losses everyone wants to say that we are going the wrong way. We have to work on ourselves and we have two very important games coming up.”
