When everything looked down and out with Maccabi about to drop points, the Captain, Gal Alberman came to the rescue scoring off of a Dor Micha pass putting the ball with all of his heart and all of his might into the Haifa goal leading to the dramatic victory.
Alberman was honest at the end of the contest as he discussed his goal: “I don’t score a lot but when the ball does go in, it’s with all of my heart. I’m happy that I was able to help the club out of this situation and that’s why I’m here.”
The Club’s form of late:
“We aren’t playing at the level that we are expected to play. There are always periods of time like this but we still have to find a way to play well, however, we haven’t been playing good enough recently. This is the type of game that we should be in control of for the full 90 minutes and make sure that we know how to keep the lead. It’s always fun to fix things up after a win, but we needed to play better.”
The championship race:
“We’re not raising up our hands. Our play and recent results ended up widening the gap but we won’t raise our hands. There are still plenty of points. What’s important right now is that we improve our play because that is what will help us earn those points.”
