Shahar, who was introduced in the second half, assisted Maccabi’s first goal for Noam Ben Harush on the way to the comeback before scoring a top drawer equalizer admitted after the game: “The most important thing didn’t happen today, and that’s a win. A goal is ultimately a small bonus for me, but in the end we wanted to win. I’d give up that goal for a victory.”
He then referred to the match itself: “We need to win every game here. Despite the result, I truly think we had a good game, actually a very good one. If I’m not mistaken, we had over 30 shots on goal; we should have scored more. The first two times they got to our goal, they scored. A bit of bad luck, there are periods when things go against you and it’s harder, but we’ll do everything to rise above it. We’ll stay in the fight until the very end, and I’m sure that even if it doesn’t look rosy right now, by the end of the season it will be sweet.”
Shahar then spoke about the recent spell which kept Maccabi seven points adrift of top spot, as he added: “It’s not an easy time. All I can promise the supporters and the club from here is that we’ll do everything to win every match and bring home the championship.”
Finally, Shahar addressed the rest of the campaign : “We will try to be the best we can be, and not for a second will we give up or take our foot off the gas. Every one of us looks at ourselves in the mirror, as players, as staff, and everyone who works at the club. I’m sure everyone will do their very best so that we win the championship at the end of the season.”
