The Yellow & Blue’s veteran central defender Eitan Tibi discussed the issues that the squad is currently going through following the 0:0 draw against Hapoel Ashkelon on Matchday 12 of the Ligat Ha’Al. Number 18 spoke about the upcoming Europa League match while also talking about the pressure that is mounting and finding a way out of the current frustrating situation:
“We are going through a tough time and I think we enjoyed a four year run that was excellent, but right now this is one of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s toughest periods of time. I hope we can find a way out of it.”
Getting out of this together:
“I’m not going to lie, this hasn’t been a very good time for the Club. The last ten games we have not looked good but at the end of the day we will get out of this together as a Club.”
Pressure mounting:
“As a player we are trying to do our utmost to score the first goal and it’s been very difficult to bra through the formation that other teams are playing against us. Unfortunately, we haven’t been able to do that and as the match continues on the pressure mounts. We have to understand how to get through this because we aren’t playing well and we gave to find a way to score that goal.”
Looking ahead:
“We have to see what we can do better after this match and prepare as best as possible for the Europa League match on Thursday.”
