Eliel Peretz spoke about his European debut following Maccabi’s 3:1 away victory in Romania over Pandurii:

“It was my first chance to play in the Europa League and I came prepared and ready to go. The coach gave me the opportunity and I did what I know how to do best. It as a good win, a terrific experience and we’ll get ready for next week. We had a good result and will help us when we play the second leg at home and I hope from tier we will advance to the playoffs.”

Hopes for the new season:

“I hope that I can get playing time, and I’ll continue to work hard in training so I can help the club and my teammates.”

The guidance he’s receiving from the rest of the team:

“Everyone is helping me out and guiding me along the way. If you would have asked me last year when I was in Ramle where I’d be right now I would have never imagined that I’d be playing in the Europa League.”
