Maccabi Tel Aviv is entering the International break after a disappointing draw in Netanya and find themselves in third place on the league table and without a goal in the last four matches in league and European play.
Eliel Peretz, who was thrust into action after an injury forced Haris Medunjanin out of the game discussed his feelings at the end of the contest: “We are very disappointed. We haven’t scored but we have to keep looking ahead as our next game is in two weeks. I don’t think it’s an issue of confidence but just a case of some bad luck. Even though we haven’t scored we’ve had some quality chances and have been controlling the ball.”
Feelings right before entering the match:
“Haris got hurt and the coach called me. I did what I know how to do best. Our next game is a tough away match. We’ll train hard and go into the match to win. We now have a week of practice ahead of us.”
About the fans:
“I felt the support of the fans and we all want to give them back their pride when we play against Kiryat Shemona. There’s a long road ahead and there are plenty of matches left in the season.”
Coming off the bench:
“There’s no question that a rotation is important as we are in three different competitions. There are players who are waiting for their turns patiently on the bench and I hope that I can continue to contribute to the club in the minutes that I am given.”
