Eitan Tibi, Maccabi Tel Aviv’s veteran central defender spoke about the match against Altach that saw the Yellow & Blue advance to the Europa League Group Stages while looking at the mistakes that were made that led to the first goal:
“I’m very proud of our record, happy and satisfied as we advance to European Group Stages for the 3rd season in a row. I think that the power we have is to know how to react after making a mistake and the fact that we didn’t let in goals in the other match and in many of the games so far. So it was good that we were able to score two goals today.”
Looking back at the mistakes that were made during the match:
“If I would have begun analyzing the error that was made while the match was going on it would have consumed me and I wouldn’t have been able to concentrate on the match as well. So we all just put the goal aside and played positively for good stretches of the game, in fact even better than the first leg. They had very few chances but the ended up scoring a couple of goals. That’s just part of the game.”
Potentially bringing in a new central defender:
“We have good central defenders and it’s the club’s choice if they want to bring another one in.”
