Maccabi Tel Aviv’s veteran central defender, Eitan Tibi, spoke to the Official Website following yesterday’s 2:0 loss to Maccabi Haifa. With Beer Sheva around the corner, number 18 looked for his side to get by the rough patch they are currently going through:
“It’s very disappointing as we had plenty of chances but we couldn’t take advantage of them. They had some chances and unfortunately for us they scored. That’s football and we will continue on.”
Correcting some of the issues:
“Since the Derby, I believe we haven’t been as good and I hope that the next game against Kiryat Shemona in the Toto Cup we will be much better.”
Reasons:
“It can’t be that we are tired as we just had a two week break. I just think that we are going through a rough time right now and we will try to get out of this funk next game.”
Upcoming league match against Hapoel Beer Sheva:
“It’s a very important game and one that we really want to win. But on the other hand it’s also a match that’s taking place at the beginning of the year. I also think that the game against Haifa will have no influence on this contest.”
