Vladimir Ivic, Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Head Coach addressed the assembled media at the pre-match press conference ahead of Monday night’s (21:00) Derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv at the Moshava Stadium:
“It’s a Derby and we will play against a team that may not have a good position on the table, but they have a lot of good quality players. They have for sure prepared for this game and in a game like this anything can happen. A lot of factors can be important in the game. There are no favorites in a Derby. In a game like this any result is possible. We will all give 100%. Our target is to win the game and take the 3-points.”
The fans:
“We want the fans to be with us at every game both away and at home. We play for ourselves and for our fans. We all want to win the game as does the opponent. Who will win? We will see tomorrow. I’m sure we will give it our all to win the game.”
Enric Saborit’s status:
“We hope Saborit will be ready, we will see at the training session later and then make a decision.”
About Hapoel Tel Aviv:
“He (Kobi Refuah) is a good coach and he’s a good tactical coach. We know they have some new good quality players who will play tomorrow. We all prepare for the game and will do our best to win. It will be a difficult and a tough game for both sides. I hope we will be happy at the end of the game.”
