“It was my first match and a win a I’m happy we advanced to the semifinals. I’m a bit tired but I’m starting to get into the swing of things after slightly injuring my ankle. My performance was ok for a first match, but there’s still plenty of hard work to be done.”

Playing against his former club:
“It took a little bit of time as Beitar is close to my heart and I had a good period with them. I wish them all the best the rest of the way. But I came to Maccabi where I am now. We won three matches in the past week and all of the players are getting a chance to prove themselves. I’m happy we won and now we have a super important match in a few days which we have to get ready for.”

Final thoughts:
“I’m happy to be at Maccabi Tel Aviv where I’ll be giving everything I have to help the Club succeed and to take it back to where it belongs.”
