Dor Peretz, the Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder looked ahead to his team’s Matchday 34 Israel Premier League Ligat Ha’Al contest game against Hapoel Beer Sheva at Toto-Turner Stadium on Saturday night at 21:00 and was asked about the possibility of being the first team to win on their pitch:

“We are not looking at that before the match. We are players who go into every game who want to win just like any other match and we will do our best. This is an interesting match regardless because it’s Maccabi and Beer Sheva, they may be able to win the title and we could break their home winning steak, so you can say there is extra motivation.”

The issue of Beer Sheva players unknowingly taking illegal supplements:
“We are Maccabi and we look at ourselves and not at others. If it happened it happened there is nothing that we can do.”

About Dan Glazer coming back from loan:
“Dan is a good friend and he has had a good season. If we have to fight for a spot at Maccabi Tel Aviv then that is a good thing. I try to prove that I am good enough to play each and every match.”

Next season:
“I am a player at the club and I am not the one who puts it together. We have an important game on Saturday and that is where our focus is and not on what will be next season.”
