Number 9, Eden Ben Basat discussed his team’s effort in the 3:1 win against Hapoel Kfar Saba as the Yellow & Blue opened up their sixth straight season with a victory. The striker looked ahead to Thursday’s match in Croatia, scoring goals, transfer talk and getting a chance to pay and score:

“I started the Toto Cup match and scored and I opened up the league season by starting and I scored as well. It’s always good to start, play and to especially help out the team and score goals. I’ve got to continue working hard and I’m happy that I’ve been able to produce.”

Transfer talk:

“I am really not concerning myself with all of this type of talk and my goal is to let my play in the pitch speak for itself.”

Scoring goals:

“Kfir Saba played the way they should but our objective is to score goals and it took some time to get the first but then we scored the second and third.”

Atmosphere in Split:

“We’ve seen the fans and their stadium on TV but we’ve been in plenty of similar stadiums and we will continue on our way.”

Upcoming Europa League match:

“Football is a dynamic sport and we were definitely not complacent this past Thursday. Sometimes you score a goal from nothing and we will come into the game focussed and the game will be totally different than we’ve experienced before.”
