Maccabi Tel Aviv will visit Beitar Jerusalem on Sunday at 21:00 on Matchday 6 of the Israel Premier League Ligat Japanika and midfielder Dor Peretz spoke about the upcoming clash:

“They can cause us some difficulties. Beitar is known as one of the best counterattacking teams and that is one of their advantages. If we pay attention to this it will help us. They have many advantages and we’ll plan accordingly.”

Expectations about the match:
“We’ve had some tough matches against very defensive minded clubs and occasionally we have some difficulties. I believe that tomorrow’s match will be different and we will have to see what will be. No one wants to make our lives easy and they may begin the match defensively, but we are familiar with their players and know where they like to position themselves and attack.”

Being called up to the National Team:
“It’s a great feeling to know that I took this step up and from here I just want to continue on.”

Competing with teammate Dan Glazer:
“Competition is good for everyone especially on the pitch and I’m happy about it.”
