The 20-year-old who scored his second goal of the campaign to give Maccabi a three-goal-lead ahead of the return leg, said at the end of the match: “It is an important step ahead of next week, but we still have another game to play to complete the job there” Turgeman said, “We started the match well, scored a goal as they received two red cards and I am delighted we scored two more in the second half”.
On what was said in the dressing room at halftime following the two red cards TSC received, Turgeman added: “Our aim was to score as many goals as possible. Against 9 men who are sitting on the edge of the box it is not easy. One has to be patient which is what we were as we scored two more goals.”
On returning to Backa Topola where Maccabi suffered a 6-1 defeat to Olympiacos last season Turgeman reflected: “This memory is still in our minds but we will be a 100% prepared and hope to reach the next stage.”
On rumours linking him to a move abroad: “My head is only at Maccabi Tel Aviv and I am delighted with this victory. We are preparing for next week.”
