Head Coach Jordi Cruyff addressed the media following the Yellow & Blue’s 3:0 victory against Maccabi Petah Tikva in Toto Cup Matchday 4 action:
“I thought the first 30 minutes were good Maccabi football trying to play two touch, trying to go forward and running without the ball. Toto Cup is tiring with many games, 3 games in 6 days so it’s normal that some players will relax mentally.”
Match play:
“I thought the team played much better in the build up starting from behind and the team had energy today so I think it made a difference.”
Toto Cup goals:
“Every game we put the best lineup that we can put. We’ve gotten 7 out of 9 points and I think we are through to the next round and we accomplished our goal.”
About Susic:
“He’s a player that can come good from the second line and he’s good at shooting and I think we need goals from all of the sides and not always depend on a number 9. We need goals from the left and from the right and from the midfield.”
On Avi Rikan:
“We’ve always been very happy with Avi from the day he came and he’s part of the plans so it’s simple.”
