Vladan Ivic: "We are disappointed with the goal we conceded, but one thing worries me. It was a good enough game to win, not fantastic, but from the beginning of the year I say we have to improve our ability, and today we saw a lot of problems, we had a lot of problems in defense. We need work on the team defense. In some parts of the game we had problems, and we will have to solve them."

Ivić was asked if some of the problems are related to the fact that the team is waiting for reinforcements, and answered: "Of course. But we need to take care of it at home, and work on things."

The coach was asked how he will deal with the fact that in the next game he will not have Jovanovic, who was sent off, and answered: "I will have to solve it."

On Oskar Gluch: "He is one player among 30, and he needs to keep working, and improve his ability on both sides."

On the start of the season: "We have three wins, of course that's good, but for me it's important how my team works for 90 minutes,

Gabi Kanikovski was asked why he didn't celebrate after the goals: "I was happy, but because of the Sabbath it was hard for me to be happy. It's important to me, it hurts me, it's such a war for me."

On the start of the season: "Obviously it's fun, we look good, score goals, work hard, we have to continue. There is a battle for the lineup, and that's how it is in a big team like Maccabi Tel Aviv, there's a crazy fight. It's fun to play alongside such good players, and we have to work. We'll have to To meet the coach's demands. We conceded a goal on the threshold and it hurts us, we will have to improve it."

Menachem Koretsky: "Always when we lose, we leave disappointed. We looked good for many minutes of the game, but losing is not fun. We could have gotten more out of this game, unequivocally. Maccabi got into situations, but so did we. Almost all my demands were fulfilled, with a little courage we could have conquered .

"We tried to thicken the link, for most of the game it was successful for us, and their second goal also came in our good minutes. I have no complaints against the players, I have a strong team, and if we continue like this it will be good. Are the level gaps one of the biggest? There have always been gaps, our job is to reduce the These gaps, and many times we managed to pressure Maccabi and create situations. Unfortunately, it was not enough today."

Itamar Shabiru, who scored in extra time and scored in 10 consecutive league games: "We were in the game the whole time, we fought. Obviously, the quality of Maccabi is amazing, but we gave all our hearts today. It wasn't enough, we'll take the positives and try in the next game. The sequence is nice, But my team didn't win and that's what interests me. I try to help the team as much as possible and today it wasn't enough, so the streak doesn't really make me happy."
