Benjelloun: Hibs have extra bite
Hibs are two points behind leaders Celtic after losing only once in the Scottish Premier League this season.[LNB]Benjelloun feels manager John Hughes has instilled steel in a side previously noted for their passing ability but not their fight.[LNB]The Morocco international said: "It was the case in the past that any time a strong physical team played against us they felt confident, they felt we were soft.[LNB]"But this year we have shown that we can play good football but with a physical edge to our game.[LNB]"In every game we fight for every ball - we are physically stronger now that we were in the past.[LNB]"When our technique and passing game does not work then we have to fight for every ball, and if we do that not many teams will beat Hibernian this year."[LNB]After moving level on points with Rangers, Hibs now come up against a Motherwell side who Benjelloun claims gave them their easiest game of the season.[LNB]The Edinburgh side won 3-1 at Fir Park in September after taking control early in the second half.[LNB]"We played very well against Motherwell the last time - for me it was the easiest game this season," Benjelloun told the club's website.[LNB]"But they will come to us this week with a new mentality I feel. They know they have lost only once in the league this year and that was against us, they will remember that game and be much more determined this time."[LNB]The 24-year-old added: "It is important for us that we win this game and keep our run going, and I hope also that the stadium will be full on Saturday.[LNB]"I really hope the fans come to watch, because before we would play good one game, bad the next and the stadium was full.[LNB]"We need the fans now to come and help us to win - especially at Easter Road."[LNB][LNB]
