Sheran Yeini, the Maccabi Tel Aviv Captain looked ahead to Tuesday’s match against Hapoel Beer Sheva at the Netanya Stadium at 21:00 on Matchday 15 of the Israel Premier League:
“Every point is important, especially in a prestigious match like this. It will be difficult like always against them and we hope to come away with a good result.”
Is this a more difficult match than Beitar?
“The match against Beitar has no influence on this one and I’m sure the same is true for Beer Sheva. We all want to win and both sides are very focused. We are ready to go and having 3 matches in a week is fun. We are prepared from a physical and mental point of view and it’s always fun to play as much as possible.”
Plans for tomorrow:
“I’m not going to reveal the game plan but matches against Beer Sheva are always difficult. We will look to win balls, control the play and have chances on goal, those are the important things. In terms of exactly what we are going to do, I’m not going to go into that.”
About the last number of big games:
“What we’ve done up to now has been good. The season began well, but it’s very long and we will have to keep up our abilities through the end of the campaign. We are just thinking about how we can improve our play and then do just that.”
Is Maccabi the favorite?
“I don’t think that there is a favorite in this type of match. The fact that we have been battling with them for the title over the past number of seasons means that this is a match that is much more than just what is happening on the table. We are expecting an even and difficult match.”
The squad’s relationship with Coach Ivic:
“A coach has a strong influence on a club that is managed well as the players respect and appreciate him and follow his lead. That is our case and we are also very close as a team and speak about everything. It’s fun that we are having a season like this, the staff is very serious and we are happy with the work they are doing.”
