Glazer: I wanted a full Maracana

- The recovery took a long time, but now I am fully ready to defend and I am looking forward to the full Maracana waiting for us on Thursday. I longed for full stands, as well as the atmosphere created by our fans. I defended on Saturday, but against Benfica we are expecting a spectacle. I believe that the stands will be filled to capacity, and my expectations are positive before the game. There is no doubt that Benfica is a great team, but I was at Zvezda last season and I know how the opponents feel when they go through the famous Maracana tunnel and then hear the roar of the stands. Nobody cares to play in such an atmosphere and that is our biggest advantage - started Glazer.

The Israeli representative praises the work of the team.

- We have the right to be optimistic, not only because we are the hosts, but also because we do quality work. We are training extremely well and we are fully ready for the game. We are looking forward to Thursday, because the Champions League matches, especially at the Maracana, are something special. We will fight for our fans, but also for our club, all with the aim of starting this season's Champions League with a good result. Our opponents are not easy, but we go game by game. There will be at least four spectacles at Maracana, we are also hosting great teams and we will fight to be among the 24 best teams in Europe. It's challenging, but I believe in the team - the goalkeeper concluded.
