Celebrations:
“Maccabi Tel Aviv is an organized club and those who make the decisions do so with thought and purpose. We the players have to make sure we come and give our best performance.”

“You have to work hard all season long to win the championship. The last match is always the sweetest especially when you are battling against a club head-to-head and then it goes to the last game where the title is decided. Similar to the State Cup Final.
