Tal Ben Haim the Yellow & Blue central defender looks ahead to Thursday night’s Europa League Playoff Round 2nd leg tie against Austrian outfit Altach at the Netanya Stadium at 20:00.

“I feel a lot better and I hope to do a full training session today and be ready tomorrow. I’ll find out right before the match if I’m starting.”

Preparing for the match tomorrow:
“We are professional players and this isn’t the first time that we have lost. The staff told us where we made mistakes and what we can do to improve. We had an off day yesterday and we are coming into the training today full of energy.”

About Altach:
“Football isn’t an exact science. They have good players who can control the ball and are dangerous. But we are coming into the match with one goal in mind, advance to the group stages and give our fans what they want and some excitement and joy.”

From Israeli league to Europa League:
“These are two different competitions and we know how to make the switch. We did our homework so we will be as prepared as possible.”
