Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Mladen Krestajic was very pleased with the performance of his team tonight (Thursday) in a 1-0 loss to PSV Eindhoven, and even stated that: "There is a chance to qualify for the eighth."
The Serb analyzed the game and said: "I think it was a good game. We expected a tactical war. It was only in the first half and the decision will be in Tel Aviv. We saw for sure we can do it, but in return we will have to take more risks and play more open. I'm sure Saturday." "The stadium will be full and we will get great support from our fans and that will help us."
Contact Gabi Kanikovsky added: "I was not surprised by our ability. At first we were a little scared of the class because we do not come every day to play in such a stadium and in front of such a team, but in return we will have to play more offensively."

Kanikowski concluded: "Losing 1-0 is a result that can be reciprocated and I hope we will succeed. We play football and come to win every game even against the strongest teams in Europe. To decide at home we will have to dare more. It is clearly a possible task to rise."
