Maccabi Tel Aviv’s midfielder Dor Micha spoke at the pre-match media conference in Lithuania ahead of Thursday night’s Europa League third qualifying round second leg tie against hosts FK Suduva. Maccabi trail 2-1 after losing at home last week to the Lithuanian champions.

He said the players would have to be at their very best and it was time to show their class: “We all understand what this game means for the players and for the entire club. We really want this win. We are facing 90 crucial minutes and we will have to leave it all out there on the pitch tomorrow if we want to.”

“We will have to avoid making the mistakes that we committed in recent weeks. We have had a week to go through what we did wrong and learn from those mistakes and we will have to play our natural game.”

“We have belief in our ability. I have faced even more difficult situations during my career. It starts with belief and then bringing our ability to the fore and we will have to do it from the kickoff.”
