Eyal Golasa, the Yellow & Blue midfielder scored the 3rd goal in a 4:0 win over Hapoel Hadera to take over first place on Matchday 7 of the Israel Premier League Ligat Japanika:
“When you’re required to play more of an attacking role it gives you more confidence and it helps influence the game. Last season I played more of a defensive role and I couldn’t just go wherever I wanted to. I’m happy that I can play more of an offensive role.”
On the attack:
“I know that it adds a lot to play more of attacking role, but when you are playing as the defensive midfielder you can’t just attack every time the team goes on the offensive. Today I played with Dor Peretz and each one of us had to go on the attack. We have to continue this way.”
The goal to play well:
“I want to be able to dominate and help the club both offensively and defensively and every goal is a bonus. Of course I want to score and assist but my objective is to be good and show that Eyal Golasa is on the pitch.”
Rapport with Itay Shechter:
“I have an excellent rapport with him and we understand each other very well. Of course I have a good relationship with all of attacking players on the pitch and I’m happy about that.”
The desire and hunger to succeed:
“It’s easy for you to see that because you can see it from the stands, but there’s certainly a change and the players have a desire and hunger to succeed and you can see that. This was a top of the table match but not a “Match of the Season”. Hadera had a good start to the season but I’m happy that we were able to show everyone that we are Maccabi Tel Aviv.”
