The Maccabi Tel Aviv professional staff along with Head Coach Lito Vidigal, Sport Director Jordi Cruyff and of course the players took a trip to the Club’s leading sponsor, HP Indigo and toured their factory in Kiryat Gat after Thursday’s training session.
Vidigal was extremely interested in the newest technology that HP Indigo uses for printing pictures and posters.
Following the extensive tour, the Head Coach discussed the upcoming away contest at Beitar Jerusalem on Saturday night at Teddy Stadium, 21:00:
“The intensive week that we have been getting used to over the past few months that I’ve been here so it’s not really something new. We are just concentrating on the next game and we are only preparing for the next match, not looking further ahead. The match against Beer Sheva is not even a thought at this point. As of now and looking at the gap to the top of the table, we can only look at the next match. We have to win and only after that can we can concentrate on the next contest.”
About the club’s injuries:
“It’s true that we have some injuries but like I say all the time, I believe in all of my players and I know that anyone I choose to play will be ready and prepared. What is most important is that we work hard together as a team and that is the only way we will succeed.”
On the opponent:
“We are preparing for a match against a very good club with high quality players and every match against them is difficult. We defeated them in the State Cup Semifinal but we also played superbly. Over the last three matches we have improved but we still have a ways to go. This will be a totally different game and there is absolutely no connection between the Semifinal and this contest.”
The club’s performance:
“Of course I want the team to play even better. I know that it’s possible but we still have a lot of work and we need time for that. First off, we want to win but we also want to play the best that we can and I think that over the last few games we have continued to improve and I hope that we will do the same this coming match as well.”
