Maccabi Tel Aviv coach, Michael Zandbergconcluded: “Good feelings, of course, there’s no fun like winning from the first round. We didn’t win and we didn’t play well, which is mainly what bothered me, but today we played well, regardless of the penalty, we reached a lot of 100 percent goal situations and we played mostly well, and that’s what I think was important To earn from my players today and that’s why I’m satisfied.”
“First of all, things need to come together, there is really a lot of talent here, but also a lot of players who are first year in youth and we saw it today, we finished the game with eight players who are first year in youth. We were in this movie last year as well, so the players who are not yet experienced in the youth league, they are very talented, but in order to fight at the top and be stable, you need this experience, and we lack it a bit, and we also see it in decision-making, but this team is very talented and I hope that we will go from here to a better way”.
“We continue to work hard just like we did this week, Netanya is really an excellent and aggressive team, it’s a very, very difficult game for them at home. Today we neutralized one mine with this field here, which for the last two years Maccabi Tel Aviv has suffered here, so today we made some sort of small correction and hope to continue the momentum next week.”
Shimmi Avrahamthe coach of Rasheltz said: “The result is very disappointing because in the end, the way the game developed, I think we could have earned at least a point, but I sum it up by saying that we are a team that builds from week to week, we started the season a little less well, it took us a while to settle in and connect, but I see Even today there is a lot of sacrifice, a lot of connection and in the end things will come together like they did last week, so in the pride games we will try to make it come together in the next game as well.”
“Next week it’s a bit of a different game, because today we played against one of the most talented opponents in the league and without a doubt it’s an opponent that we play against and prepare for in a different way.
For next week we will analyze today’s game and understand what worked more and what less and we will try to come prepared for this game and of course score points as well. In the first half we were a little far from each other and there were a lot of transitions where the defense and attack, the squads were far apart and in the second half it will improve and I believe that by next week it will also improve.”
