Vladimir Ivic, the Maccabi Tel Aviv Head Coach looked back at his squad’s 2:0 win over Maccabi Petah Tikva on Matchday 24 of the Israel Premier League Ligat Japanika:

“This was a very tough game. We’ll just take the result from this match, there is a lot that needs improvement. We had problems on the attack but the main thing is that we had an extra man in the second half. We will discuss the match and look to improve.”

About the goal scorers Micha and Atar:
“Every player is important. We have scored a lot of goals by many players which means that all of the players are working hard.”

On not adding a striker during the transfer window:
“We have 3 strikers. Shechter, Schoenfeld and Ofoedu can all play there and if the club has an issue it’s not just because of the strikers but the whole team play.”
