After the victory over Hapoel Haifa (0: 2) last week, Maccabi Tel Aviv will face a new challenge tomorrow (Monday, 20:45).
The champion will host Betar Jerusalem at Bloomfield Stadium for a game in the 24th round of the Stock Exchange League, with a victory raising it to first place in the table. Today, coach Patrick Van Leven and striker Itai Schechter spoke at the press conference ahead of the game.
Coach Patrick Van Leven said ahead of the game: "Every team that meets us gives the maximum, so we have to prepare accordingly. Betar's loss to Sakhnin should not affect us.
"In recent weeks, we have given everyone the opportunity to play because we had a busy schedule. We will continue to monitor the condition of all the players so that we can finish the league with the entire staff.
Striker Itai Schechter added: "We do not have time to lose points. We need to be focused on Betar, which is one of the technical teams in the league for me.
We need to continue with modesty and hard work, because in the end this is what will bring us to where we want to be.
If we do not come prepared, we can be punished.
We have been at a great pace since Patrick arrived, also the players with greater confidence and working harder.
Truth be told, every player on the roster feels valued and understands that he can change.
This is the strength of Maccabi Tel Aviv in recent years. "
