Barak Itzhaki, the Yellow & Blue striker was honored in a prematch ceremony by his youth club and then scored the match winner in the second half. Number 10 spoke about finding the back of the goal against his former club:
“I scored a goal for my club and I didn’t go over the top. I was happy that I scored but most importantly we won the game.”
Drop in quality:
“I don’t think that we went down in quality, it may have not been our best game but whats important in these types of game is that we knew how to take the points. Ashkelon has given problems to all of the top teams and it’s very difficult to play here. Even when they played against Beer Sheva they were leading 1:0 and could have won the match. We were able to score two important goals and it’s too bad we gave up a goal but again most importantly is that we took the points.”
Going into the playoffs:
“We will analyze the match and our quality will be fine. Sometimes it goes down a bit, but remember that it’s very hard to play 20 straight matches at the highest level. Again what was mist important is that we won.”
Scoring more:
“I am playing more and when I do my job is to score goals. When I played a lot over my career this is exactly what I’ve done. I’m happy to gave back on the pitch. For me, the more I can be on the pitch is a bonus and the more I can help my club is great.”
