Eitan Tibi, Maccabi Tel Aviv’s central defender looked ahead to Sunday night’s game away at Hapoel Ashkelon on Matchday 25 of the Ligat Ha’Al. Number 18 looked ahead to the match itself while also talking about advancing to the State Cup semifinals:

“It was a very important victory for us as we moved onto the semifinals and we also won both matches. I hope we’ll also win the semifinal.”

Petah Tikva not an easy club to play:

“They are a very tough team and an opponent who makes everyone’s lives difficult and gives problems to all of the clubs in the league. I’m happy that we have played well against them and hopefully that our play against them will continue on.”

About Hapoel Ashkelon:

“We can’t lose any points and we can’t think that this will be an easy match. There are no easy matches this season. We will prepare as best as possible over the next few days and get ourselves ready both physically and mentally.”

Game by game:

“We have to look at ourselves and at each match one at a time. We don’t have to look backwards and we don’t have to look forwards. We will have to do what we need to on the pitch.”
