Eyal Golasa hopes to return to the pitch very soon as he has been recovering from an injury. The Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder along with his teammates visited the Alpa Cosmetics headquarters, the importer of Nivea products to Israel and spoke about himself as well as the club:

“We’re happy to be at this event and we all love the Nivea products which we frequently use. It’s great to be here. I’m feeling much better and I’ve been able to train normally. I hope that I’ll be back next match. We’re working hard in order to play well and that’s something that we’re obligated to do.”

About his injuries:
“Last season’s injury was a broken foot which was unavoidable and that’s what happened to me again now. I was eager to return, but I hurt my recovery process because I tried to come back earlier than I should have. What can I do, this is the type of game that I play; I play hard. I’m hungry to return. We all need to play together a bit more and work on a few things in order to improve our game and I believe that you’ll see this already over the next few matches.”

Battle for the league title:
“We may not have started out well this season but we are still Maccabi. I don’t think that there is a team that plays any better than we do. I’m sure that we’ll still have our say and I’m not worried about it.”

The recent results:
“Our recent results that weren’t great is something that we think about each and every day. We have nothing to hide. We’re talking amongst ourselves about how we have to play better which is something we really want to do, especially for all of our fans and especially for the club.”

The future:
“I’m happy here and coming to Maccabi is the best thing that happened to me. I’m thrilled every day that I’m here.”

About the Slavia Prague match on Thursday:
“I’ll go to Netanya right now in order to wait to play in the match. Head Coach Jordi Cruyff will decide if I’ll play, but thank God I’m healthy.”

Looking ahead to Hapoel Haifa:
“Hapoel Haifa has played some excellent contests up until now. We will prepare for the match like we do for every other regular season match and we’ll try to bring home the best possible result.”
