“We are super motivated ahead of the league. It is not easy to win the league for the third season in succession. This is a task which requires a lot of focus and concentration as well as looking ahead only at the short term future and the forthcoming match. This is something we are trying to do, create high standards both on and off the pitch in order to get the best out of everyone of us”.

“I feel that we are ready but Petah Tikva is a dangerous side. Our matches against them were always tough and we are preparing for that. I believe they have a lot of hunger to prove themselves. I am convinced they will be very motivated and hungry, yet we will have to remain focused”.
