This morning, the Yellow & Blue held their final training session ahead of Sunday’s match. Head Coach Jordi Cruyff will be without Tal Ben Haim and Dor Peretz due to yellow card accumulation.
Cruyff: “We have to lift ourselves up”
Cruyff looked ahead to the match against Bnei Yehuda as equally important to next week’s contest against Hapoel Beer Sheva: “We have to lift ourselves up after a disappointing result in the State Cup this past week and get back to the good results that we have had in league play over the past couple of months,” Cruyff commented to the Official Website.
“We have to react properly after the loss because we will be playing against a tough opponent who has been in good shape over the last few months. Like I have said in the past, we have to concentrate and focus on ourselves, improve and play more aggressively to make sure we take the points.”
About the loss of Ben Haim and Peretz due to yellow card accumulation:
“That’s part of football and other players have missed matches due to injuries as well. This will be an excellent opportunity for some of the other players to take advantage of the chance that they will receive.”
