The 24-year-old midfielder first addressed the team’s journey in the current campaign: “We played against top European teams. I think we deserved more, there were matches we played well, but the results weren’t what we wanted. This is a great opportunity for us to play a game like this tomorrow. We play in the league and win titles in order to reach games like these. We will be ready for tomorrow.”
On the opponents Maccabi will face tomorrow, Shahar added: “Both Freiburg and Stuttgart, that we faced, are excellent teams, in one of the best leagues in the world. They are well positioned in the league and in Europe. We have a good opportunity tomorrow and we’ll do our best.”
When asked about the security arrangements around the team, Shahar said: “We are used to it. But we are footballers and we focus on football. Everything around us doesn’t interest us, we focus on football.”
