Sheran Yeini is back in Yellow & Blue and addressed the assembled media prior to tomorrow night’s away contest at Sammy Ofer Stadium against Maccabi Haifa, 21:00. The new number 13 looked back at his time in Holland, his focus going forward and what he can do to help Maccabi:
“They brought me in as a player and a teammate for the Club. I’m sure that where I can help extra, then I will give it all to the Club just as I did for Vitesse.”
Time in Holland:
“I played for a year and a half, played in plenty of matches and I was happy there. We all enjoyed our life in Holland. Jordi didn’t want me to leave, but I wanted to experience something different, in a different country and culture. Maccabi wanted me back and it’s hard to say no. It was also important for our family that we came back with our young child and for the grandparents. It’s great to be back with my teammates and also to be back with the fans. There’s competition here and I’m looking forward to trying to win as much as we can.”
Improving:
“At the end of the day, we have to take football into proportion. What Beer Sheva did was make us focus more and we have to improve and get better.
Point gap to Beer Sheva:
“It was 12 and they said it was over and then all of a sudden it dropped. There’s plenty of football to go and there are a lot of games coming up. We’ll give more than 100% to make sure we take the maximum points.”
Style of play in Holland:
“As a player there’s a lot of 1 on 1 work both defensively and offensively. Which foot you pass the ball with and who you are passing to.”
Who’s better Vitesse or Maccabi?
“It’s a question that I’ve been asked many times. But it’s hard to judge. Each team has excellent players.”
Expectations:
“You all know what I can do as a player. Scoring isn’t one of them, but I can give it all on and off of the pitch and be a part of the club to help everyone to improve.”
Jordi’s status with the club:
“We all want Jordi to stay here and people that can contribute to the club are always people that we want to keep with the club. We will make it as hard as possible for him to leave.”
