“Sakhnin are a very good, tough and stubborn side. We scored the first and second goals which in my opinion was the difference from Saturday’s draw at Kiryat Shmona. We put away our chances and I am delighted with the way we looked today and I hope to continue and improve. We qualified to the next stage which is the most important thing”.
On the departure of coach Vladimir Ivic, Zahavi said: “We heard about it but it wasn’t official yet we as players are not naive and try not to relate to it too much. what I would like to say is that the players and coach deserve a good word. He was a professional until the final second, demanded from the players and himself in every training session and every match. These things can happen in football, as coaches come and go while our work needs to be done on the pitch time after time. We represent a massive club with a very big fan base”.
