Questions for David Limberský
What do you know about Maccabi Tel Aviv?
We will let everyone see what we know about them on the pitch tomorrow night.
What do you think about the weather in Israel compared to the Czech Republic and his will that effect the match?
We are not used to the weather here in Israel but we will be ok as we've played before in Tel Aviv a few years ago against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
How have you seen Viktoria Plzen grow since you came over to the club in 2008?
It's hard to compare between now and then but at that time the Plzen management bought players from Sparta Prague and began this nice story of success for us and we hope that this will continue for many years to come.
Questions for Head Coach Miroslav Koubek
Who is the favorite going into these games?
There are no favorites in these matches against Maccabi Tel Aviv. These are two very strong teams, each have players on their national teams and the match will begin 0:0. We have a lot of respect for Maccabi but we also have self confidence ourselves.
What have you learned about Maccabi Tel Aviv and what type of strategy will you use?
We have certain strategies how we will play tomorrow night but you'll have to see on the pitch. Even though Maccabi lost the first game it was clear that they were the better team and we began preparing for them knowing that we would have to play against them.
