Yuval Shpungin, the Yellow & Blue defender looked back at the team’s performance against Maccabi Petah Tikva and getting the opportunity to start for Coach Lito Vidigal:

“I think I played I good game and it’s not easy to come back after not playing for a while both from a physical and mental standpoint. I prepared myself the best that I could but most importantly is that we won the match.”

Getting a chance to play:

“I’m happy that the coach relies on me after not playing for a while. I knew coming to Maccabi wouldn’t be easy as there is a lot of competition for playing time as it’s the biggest team in the country. Of course I’d like to play more but I have to be prepared for anything. I have to work hard and be ready at a moment’s notice.”

Still a chance to win the league:

“If we didn’t believe that we could then we wouldn’t be in this type of profession. We will give everything that we have until the last moment and we won’t look at all of the possibilities. We will do what we need to and continue to win the matches that we have.”
