Dan Glazer who wore the captain’s armband on the night added: “We started the match very well as we scored the opening goal and created a few more half chances” Glazer said, “Be’ersheva then changed a formation and we didn’t respond accordingly as it took us several minutes and they equalised. Football is all about momentum and when you don’t score the second goal everything can happen. We congratulate them for reaching the final while we must move on”.
When asked if the season is over, Glazer remained adamant: “No, the season is far from over. Maccabi is the biggest club in Israel which needs to turn up at every game and give it’s best to represent a big set of fans. We will continue to give everything in order to represent the club in the best possible way. When you play for a club as big as Maccabi you can’t afford not to give a 100 percent. Yes it is disappointing, it is a tough moment for me and the rest of my teammates but we will have to pick ourselves up ahead of Monday and win the derby”.
The 25-year-old midfielder summed up the miserable night yet remained positive: “We will cheer ourselves up, we are strong, we are all good friends and are united. We will hope to make our fans happy starting from Monday’s derby”.
