Hapoel Tel Aviv Goalkeeper Asaf Tzur Confident After 2-0 Win in Conference League Qualifier

Hapoel Tel Aviv goalkeeper Asaf Tzur expressed satisfaction following the team's 2-0 victory over Katowice in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Conference League on August 6. Tzur, who kept a clean sheet, credited the entire defensive line for their performance and emphasized the collective effort required to maintain a strong defense. He praised the fans for their continued support, marking the third consecutive home game with strong attendance.

Looking ahead to the crucial away match next week, Tzur stressed the importance of completing the job and advancing to the next stage of the competition. He highlighted the team's summer preparations, noting that the core squad remained largely intact, which provided a significant advantage by maintaining team chemistry and avoiding starting from scratch.

Defender Marcus Coco also commented on the team's improvement, particularly in defense compared to the previous match where they conceded twice. He acknowledged the challenges posed by travel but expressed confidence in the squad's readiness and focus on the upcoming game rather than on potential future opponents like Atalanta. Both players conveyed optimism about the team's prospects in the tournament and their commitment to progressing further.
