Omer Atzily, the Maccabi Tel Aviv winger addressed the assembled media the prematch press conference ahead of Saturday’s match against Hapoel Raanana (18:00) at the Netanya Stadium and began by looking ahead to the upcoming contest:
“We are going to come into the match on Saturday modest, hungry and ready to go in order to take the points.”
Battling for a place in the Starting XI:
“I think that the battle to get a spot in the Starting XI is nothing new and we have a number of quality players in attacking positions. We all give the maximum on the pitch and I will continue to work hard so it will help me as the season continues on.”
The National Team:
“If I continue to play well at Maccabi, I hope it will open some doors with the National Team and I believe that in the future I’ll have my opportunity to return.”
Playing under Head Coach Vladimir Ivic:
“We are adjusting to the new style and I’m sure we will do what we need to in order to make that happen.”
His play so far this season:
“I’m integrating well so far and although I haven’t scored yet I feel that I’m playing well and working hard.”
Last league match at Beer Sheva:
“The staff prepared us well and we all knew what we had to do. I believe that we played well and a draw at Turner Stadium is a decent result. I’m not here to look at Beer Sheva but I know that if we do what we need to, everything will be fine.”
