Glazer: “When our fans fill the Netanya Stadium we’ll get the needed result”
Due to the fact that the Yellow & Blue will only make their way back to Israel later on Wednesday, Vladimir Ivic’s squad held a training session in Armenia with players who appeared for less than 60 minutes tasing part in a full session at the Pyunik training facility.
Following the session, Ruslan Barsky summed up yesterday’s contest while looking ahead to the return leg:
“It wasn’t an easy match against a strong and difficult opponent. We aren’t satisfied with our play and we’re disappointed for not taking advantage of our opportunities. Although we didn’t find the back of the goal, we are happy that the decisive match will be at the Netanya Stadium in front of our fans with home crowd support.”
Goals ahead:
“I really wanted to score and I think that if we did score the match reviews would be different if it’s me, Aaron Schoenfeld or other players. But like I said, we’re very happy that the return leg is in Netanya and together with our fans our goal is to advance to the next round.”
Personal development:
“I’m really improving from training session to training session and from match to match as I want to maintain the quality of my play. I’m content so far, but it’s just the beginning of the season and there is still plenty of hard work that needs to be put in as it’s a long way to go.”
This morning’s training session:
“It was a very high level training session and we really need it to be that way as it’s important for the whole squad to continue to improve.”
