Sheran Yeini, the Maccabi Tel Aviv captain looked ahead to his Club’s Europa League contest against Astana on Matchday 4 at the Netanya Stadium:

“I hope that we can play well and give everything we have and win the game, but I can’t tell you what the final score will be.”

Playing with passion:
“The fans want us to give 100% effort and we will play with passion. Our defensive game and offensive game is done together as a team. We give up goals and prevent goals as a team.”

Favorites:
“If you look at the score from the last match then Astana is the favorite. But we want to prove that things can change.”

Personnel on the pitch:
“It’s good that football continues day to day and you have to make sure that you have replacements for players who are hurt. It could hurt the team but we want to make sure that we can play as a team as quickly as possible with the personnel on the pitch.”

Importance of the fans:
“We are hoping that the fans will cheer us on and support us. Fill up the stadium and create the best home atmosphere for the match as they know how to do and how they did against Villarreal.”
