Sheran Yeini, the Maccabi Tel Aviv captain summed up the disappointing 1:0 loss to Astana on Matchday 4 of the Europa League Group Stages. Following the final whistle the captain looked back at the match that was:
“We had 23 chances compared to 6 by them. They had very few chances. We gave them a chance and they scored a goal,” Yeini commented.
“Everything went our way other than the goal,” added the captain. “We were all over the pitch and pressed. They are a smart team but we were able to play with them. Unfortunately we were the ones who came out on the short end of the stick. We played well and I don’t think we were just mediocre out there. I’m proud of my teammates, we gave 100%, played with passion and worked hard. It’s a disappointing result and we have to keep our heads high”
About the attack:
“We had plenty of chances and we had to score, but I don’t have a bad word to say about our attack.”
