Eitan Tibi, the Yellow & Blue central defender is happy to make it to the playoff round of the Europa League and discussed his play on the pitch, teaming up with Egor Filipenko, improving match by match and the team’s European goals:
“Every year our goal is to always make the group stages of either the Europa League or the Champions League like last season. We still have another couple of matches in order to advance to the Europa League and hope we do exactly that.”
Improving match by match:
“As each match goes by we are feeling better and better about ourselves but we still aren’t there yet and we have plenty of work to do in order to keep improving our game.”
Playing with Egor Filipenko:
“Our play together isn’t where it needs to be just yet. We still have some work to do to get to where we need to be but as we continue to play more and more we will improve our play as well.”
Moving closer to the opponent’s goal:
“During the game my instincts tell me to play further up and if I can I will play closer to the goal.”
Europa League playoffs:
“My goal is to make sure we advance against any opponent that we will face. There’s no question that I hope we have a good draw, but there’s no such thing as an easy draw. Hopefully it will be a good draw for us.”
Giving up goals but scoring more:
“As a defender I never want give up goals. Pandurii had two chances and unfortunately they did score which shouldn’t have happened in my opinion and I hope that it won’t continue in the upcoming games.”
