Yuval Shungin, the Yellow & Blue defender is preparing for the upcoming contest against Hapoel Acre after defeating Bnei Yehuda in the Toto Cup Quarterfinals:

“We had a very tough week professionally and every win is important which helps the atmosphere around the club. Now we are looking ahead.”

Winning before the break:
“We want to do as well as we can before the break and that’s why the win over Bnei Yehuda was important. Wins give us good momentum and we’ll be ready.”

Making the switch:
“There’s always an important mental side to both the match we just won and going forward after two losses. We’re professionals and we have to make that switch between competitions. I’m happy that we did that in the quarterfinals where some players who don’t get many minutes had a chance to play which was very important.”

Preparing for Acre:
“We will be very well prepared especially after the past week. Any time you play a team that just made a major change, you always need to be careful because these things always wake them up. We have to be ready and not come into the contest complacent.”
