Yellow & Blue central defender Eitan Tibi answered the questions you asked him on the Official Maccabi Tel Aviv Facebook Page. Let’s check them out:
Yarin Partok asks how do you feel every time there is criticism levied against the defense?
“It’s always great to get compliments but unfortunately we don’t get them that often. As a defender we rarely get good feedback and when we give up goals we get blamed. I hope that everyone will appreciate the defenders a bit more in the near future.”
Rani Mendo wanted to know which game was his favorite and why?
“There’s been so many great moments which I’ve enjoyed over the past four years with Maccabi Tel Aviv and this year being my fifth we advanced to the Europa League. There are so many great games to choose from like the Derby in my first year that we won 4:2, to the Treble season and the Champions League campaign. There have been so many I can just hope and pray that there will be more.”
Roie Probovskin asked Eitan which was his best season?
“I would say my first year at Maccabi which was so successful both for me personally as well as for the Club. I came in as a pretty anonymous player but made my mark and the fans appreciated me.”
Haim Ezra was curious to know why he doesn’t go on the attack more often and score some goals?
“It’s definitely part of the game that I am missing and I would really like to score as we need some goals. I hope that this will come soon and I know that by scoring I can also help my Club.”
Moshe Ben Lulu asked about his desire to want to become the best defender in Israel all the way back when he was 14 or 15 years old and continuously practiced to do just that?
“When I was 14 years old I was with Beitar Haifa and my mother really pushed me to go there. I had a good feeling about the whole situation and I told my mother that I was going to be a professional footballer. I worked very hard and I pushed myself with private coaches or by myself after regular training sessions along with being first to arrive and last to leave which is due to this day. I have the drive to be the best that I can be.”
