Eitan Tibi, the Yellow & Blue central defender spoke about the upcoming match against Bnei Sakhnin on Matchday 19 of the Ligat Ha’Al at the Netanya Stadium on Sunday January 22nd at 21:00. Number 18 reviewed the Derby, getting playing time and the club’s current status:
“I think that we aren’t in a position to look at Hapoel Beer Sheva and only at ourselves, not up and not down. We are beginning to collect points again and hopefully this run will continue.”
Expectations for the match against Sakhnin:
“We have a coach here who has prepared us as best as possible. You know that there is never an easy match against Bnei Sakhnin. Hopefully we will do what we need to and win.”
Stopping the streaking Yuval Abidor:
“Yuval Abidor is hot but I’ll keep my secrets to myself as to how I’ll stop him when we play on Sunday.”
The rough run of matches:
“There’s no question that it certainly bothered us but we are bad in the right track and the fans are behind us again.”
Getting playing time:
“Even under Shota I didn’t always play but I trained hard and prepared to play and that’s the same with everyone else.”
Derby roughness:
“We felt that there were stages of the game that shouldn’t have gotten so rough, but we made it through and we didn’t do anything that put us into a bad situation. There’s no question that it was hard to witness some of those things, especially when Eyal Golasa took a hard hit but he’s back and he should be ok.”
