Sheran Yeini, the Yellow & Blue’s former captain surprised the team at their hotel and greeted them when they arrived in Holland. Yeini talked about his team Vitesse playing Alkmaar, his comeback from injury and of course about what Maccabi can expect from tear Dutch competition in the Europa League:

“It’s always fun to meet up with friends and there was no question that I was going to see the team as soon as they arrived at the hotel and surprise them. Of course I’ll also be at the match on Thursday night.”

About Alkmaar:

“Alkmaar is a good team that knows how to hold on to the ball but I think that Maccabi can stand up to them as they are a good team, very dangerous and that can score a bunch of goals. They may not be used to playing a team like Maccabi who also are winners. It will be a very tough match for Alkmaar and I hope that Maccabi will win.”

Keeping up with the Yellow & Blue:

“It’s fun to see Maccabi play and the last match I saw them was the Derby. Every game that’s played I feel that I’m still part of the Club. I appreciate everyone around the team and I’m so happy that everything is going well at Maccabi.”

Returning from injury:

“I hurt my back like in the past when I was injured including when I was with Maccabi. But I’m coming back now and I love playing and training. I have a ton of energy and I have a Derby as well next week after an exhibition match to tomorrow against Alkmaar’s second team.”

Alkmaar all day & all night:

“The First Team of Vitesse played Alkmaar this past week, tomorrow we have an exhibition game against their second team and then Maccabi is now playing them on Thursday. It’s crazy!”
