Maccabi’s Icelandic striker, Vidar Kjartansson reflected back on his side’s Matchday Six victory over Bnei Sakhnin 3:0 at Doha Stadium. Number 24 scored an early second half goal for his first in league action to give Maccabi the insurance marker they needed:

“It’s good feeling. The first league goal is always the most difficult and I hope to continue.”

Lots to prove:

“I have a lot to prove and a lot to show. I hope it’s the first goal of many and I hope to score every game.”

Learning the system:

“I’ve only been with the boys for ten days so we are both learning each other. These things take time but we are on the right path getting better game by game.”

The Derby:

“Of course it’s a big game for the fans but for us it’s just another game. It’s 11 versus 11 and we want to win. They are our rivals but it’s a normal game for three points”

The importance of the Derby:

“We just finished our game now and I hope that my teammates will tell me more about it at the end of the week.”
