Osher Davida remained confident ahead of the Conference League Play-Off first leg away to FC Lugano.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is the beauty of football, sometimes the conditions are like this and sometimes they\u2019re different,\u201d Davida said shortly after arriving at the AIL Arena where the weather conditions in Switzerland are different to the ones in Tel Aviv. \u201cWe\u2019re used to the heat in Tel Aviv, and I think the weather here is much better for football. We\u2019re happy that\u2019s the case and we\u2019ll go out there and try to play as well as we can.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the mood following last week\u2019s victory in Bulgaria, despite the elimination from the Europa League, he added: \u201cWe came very close to completing a comeback against CSKA, and although in the end we didn\u2019t go through, we won 3-1 away from home in a difficult game. We\u2019re coming into this in a good mood. We also won the Toto Cup Semi-Final last Sunday and we\u2019re on a winning run. Hopefully we can continue that tomorrow as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the in form Swiss opponents and the fact that this is the first of a two legged tie: \u201cLugano are definitely not an easy team. We have watched and analysed them. They\u2019re a good team, but so are we, and tomorrow we\u2019ll come out and show that. You always know there\u2019s another game the following week and no team goes all-in in the first leg, but in my opinion we need to approach this as a one-off game. We shouldn\u2019t think about the return leg, but instead play the way we know how and win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Osher Davida remained confident ahead of the Conference League Play-Off first leg away to FC Lugano. \u201cThat is…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-590257","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590257","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
