Yuval Shpungin, the Yellow & Blue defender is preparing for his side’s Israel Premier League Ligat Ha’Al Matchday 14 contest at Beitar Jerusalem:

“We always have a tough time against them and we come into the match ready to play.”

Recent style of play:
“There isn’t a set formation and I could be part central defender and part wingback. It all depends on the style of the game.”

Creating chances to score:
“There has been a good changes over the last few matches and the Toto Cup Final was a good match against a tough rival in Beer Sheva. We have to bring the same passion to the league.”

Defending quick wingers like Itay Shechter:
“Every defense has a tough time against players like Shechter. We are working on how to play defense properly against them and not give a player like him any space.”

Celebrating the Toto Cup:
“We have to move on and disconnect from the difficulties we’ve had. When you win a title you should be happy and celebrate.”

Looking back and looking ahead:
“We have plenty of attacking players and we had many chances against Beer Sheva but right now our sole focus is to win the match versus Beitar.”
