Sheran Yeini looked ahead to Monday night’s Matchday 14 contest at Maccabi Haifa to open up the second round of Israel Premier League Ligat Ha’Al matches:
“I’m sure that Maccabi Haifa wants to win and we do as well. We have a game plan that we don’t want to discuss right now in the press conference but we’ve prepared all week for this match and we have to come in focused with a lot of energy as Maccabi Haifa is a good and tough club. We will have to be ready at every moment as they create a lot of chances. It’s going to be a tough match.”
Playing with Shahar Piven:
“Shahar is an excellent player and anyone who played with him in the youth Academy has said only good things about him. The same is true for his time last season with Ashdod when we played against him. When he was there we had a tough time. He’s a very aggressive and strong player. I really enjoy playing with him and I’m happy for him. The more home grown players that can play with the first team the better.“
Focusing on just the next game at hand:
“We want to go into every game to win and we aren’t focusing on anything else, just the next game at hand.”
Concentrating on ourselves:
“We are just looking at ourselves and what we can do. We aren’t looking at the opposition at all but how we can play and play our best.l
Tough week ahead with Maccabi Haifa, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Beer Sheva:
“It’s a very tough week as we are playing against quality side’s who are all playing well and we’re just going to work our hardest to perform our best one match at a time.”
Playing our best:
“Things happen in football and we can be prepared as best as possible and still lose. But we must focus on our play and the match at hand. If we do this then we will be able to play our best and increase our chances to win.”
Always a battle against Maccabi Haifa:
“Every match against Maccabi Haifa is difficult whether we have the upper hand or they have the upper hand. Is also don’t think that we’ve had an easy match this season all of the teams we have played have been difficult. We respect every club and in my eyes Maccabi Haifa is an excellent club.”
