Slavisa Jokanovic has now guided the Yellow-and-Blue to a Winner League Derby win to go with his Toto Cup Derby victory that he earned back in the summer. The coach spoke about the importance of the match:

“Yes it’s an important derby win and we dominated the whole match scoring the goal at the end of the game. Most importantly we took the three points and that’s good news for us especially winning  right before the Champions League match coming up.”

Controlling the match:

“We had most of the control and we had many chances, we pressed and pushed especially near the end of the match and we scored on a set piece. Now it’s history and we have to keep going.”

On the season going forward:

“We are on the top of the table with Beer Sheva and we’ve been playing in the Champions League with a tough schedule and a short squad. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Nothing is done, only in May will the season end and there will be lots of ups and downs throughout the year.”

About Carlos Garcia:

“Carlos Garcia has had some difficulties this season, but he’s a professional footballer and does good and bad things like all of us. But at the end of the Derby by scoring and his performance today was very good. He always concentrated and he found a big present for all of us. Football is for those who work hard.”
