Vladimir Ivic, the Maccabi Tel Aviv Head Coach looked back at his side’s 2:0 win over Ashdod on Matchday 25 of the Israel Premier League:

“The players did as we had planned from the first moment until the last and we had concrete chances on the attack and controlled the pace of play. We played a good game and we deserved the victory. We could have scored more goals but we defeated a team that took 7 points in their last 3 games and it’s not easy.”

About the improved play:
“The players aren’t machines. They want to give it their all but there are games that it just doesn’t work. We have to continue on the path we are on and we will do nice things this season. We go from game to game and that’s how we began the season and that is how we will end it.”

The championship:
“We aren’t thinking about it. Everyone is waiting for it but we have to work hard so that it will happen.”
