Maccabi Tel Aviv picked up the three points against Raanana on Matchday 10 with a 1:0 win over their rivals from the Sharon and though it wasn’t a peak performance, ultimately at this stage the points were crucial.
“Other than the three points there is nothing else we can take away from this match,” Dor Micha admitted, “This was one of the weakest Maccabi matches that I can remember over the last few seasons. The break comes at a good time. We have to improve.”
Reasons about the performance:
“There are 1,001 excuses, but they won’t help. The players are tired. The same players played in the last 4 matches over the past week and a half because we have a short rotation. But that’s not a reason we should look the way we did and I agree that we must drastically improve if we want to battle for the title this season.”
About his own play:
“Of course I’m happy to return to action after the injury. I’m slowly getting back into shape and after the break I hope I’ll be at 100%.”
Maccabi after the break:
“We want to play better and more attractive football after the break that our fans will enjoy. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case over the last few weeks. We will get some very important players back after the break and I hope that we will look better.”
