Every game has the mental interest, even before Sakhnin we did not know if there is a game or not. At the end they came up with a strong vehicle. There also had to be mental preparation and this game also has mental, professional and physiological preparation. “

We need to praise what was here last season, for Marco, for his team who did a great season and left an excellent base, but this year things are different. We brought in other players, the league is different. This season should be considered and not last season. “
The captain Neta Lavie He said: “We are not looking at history, only at the upcoming game. Need to do the job, we will try to do it on the best side. The coach prepares us in the best way as in any game. We will not tell what we are going to do, we will do it on the pitch. Do not look too long term. Aware of the importance of the game. We will try to do everything to win for the club and for the audience. “
Do not leave until you get a championship: “External things at the moment do not interest me. All to the club. As I have shown until now when I did not deal with it on the pitch. I will continue to do it my way. “
