17/7/2013 : Maccabi T.A start Chamions League campaign tonight against Gyori

Football:
Maccabi Tel Aviv are set to start their Champions League campaign tonight when they face Hungarian side Gyori ETO at 21:30 in Hungary in the first leg of their 2nd qualifying round tie.  
Gyori were the champions of Hungary last season and according to Maccabi's manager Paulo Sousa, the Hungarians have the upper hand coming into the game. Sousa said in a press conference: " I really think they have an advantage for a few reasons, with the main one being that Gyori's manager has been working with them for over 3 years and has always been at the top of Hungarian football". Maccabi will have to win this two legged tie in addition to two more two legged ties to reach the Champions League main draw. " We know that we will be facing a hard opponent, but we believe in our ability", said The Yellows captain Sheran Yeini, " The manager said that he knew a lot about Gyori, and now we also we do, we are sure that it will not be an easy game". Sousa was managing Hungarian side Videoton for 2 years before he arrived in Israel so he will know quite a lot about their opponents.
Maccabi's expected line-up:
GK: Barak Levi (or Juan Pablo), DF: Carlos Garcia, Eitan Tibi, Sheran Yeini (Captain), Yoav Ziv, MF: Gal Alberman, Maharan Radi, Eran Zahavi, Omri Altman, FW: Barak Yitzhaki, Rade Prica.
(The game will be shown live on "ONE" from 21:30)
