Asante: “It would be challenging. We have enough quality”

Maccabi left for Hungary ahead of Thursday’s Europa League Playoff first leg against Serbian side TSC Backa Topola. After the morning session at Kiryat Shalom and before departing for Hungary, Maccabi’s Dutch defender Tyrese Asante spoke about the challenge his side faces: “This will be the final qualification round before the Europa League group stages so it will be challenging. We have plenty of quality so I expect us to play well and start strong. Both teams would like to win so it will be tough but we will try play our game and hopefully we’d win”.
