After the great victory 0:6 over Hapoel Tel Aviv at Turner Stadium, Hapoel Beer Sheva will be hosted on Saturday at 19:30 by Bnei Sakhnin in Doha, on a field where it has struggled in recent years. Ahead of the match, coach Eliniv Barda and team player Iyad Abu Abid spoke at a press conference.
Elyaniv Barda He said: “The interference with Hapoel Tel Aviv after our victory? His honor is in place of the victory, it’s a nice victory that didn’t bring more than three points, the gap from first place is big and I would have preferred to win six times 0:1. I am focused on Sakhnin, the players need to understand that what happened is history. I don’t remember when we won there, maybe back when I was a player. They know the conditions of the field, respect the opponent and know that it is difficult there. They should come modestly.”
On the difficulty of winning in Doha and the situation of the injured, he said: “These are exactly the things, the game that was is history, we have to look at the next game, like after Maccabi Haifa we didn’t think about it against Hapoel Tel Aviv. There are many injured and the level of vigilance should be raised. Can’t tell yet the level of competence. We’ll see how we get through today and tomorrow, we’ll prepare for the game and we’ll go up with the best 11.”
On whether there is a special preparation after the 0:6 against Hapoel Tel Aviv: “There are experienced players and a diverse dressing room with a lot of experience. Hopefully I don’t have to lower them to the ground and they do it themselves. The game will go down in history, but it’s only worth three points.”
On Shafi Suleimanov and his return from the break: “If he had scored against Maccabi Haifa and the goal from the last game, he would have two more goals and you would say he came back sharp. He trains excellently, wants to learn and absorb more information and if he continues like this he will return to the form he was in.”
Regarding the fact that he claimed not long ago that there would be no procurement in the near term, he said: “At the moment there is no news, when there is something to announce – we will announce it.” In the near term there will be no reinforcements, I say this even now, but I can guarantee that behind the scenes they are working very hard and meticulously on reinforcements. They want to damage what we bring, if we bring it.”
On the subject of the left defender, he said: “I have talked about it many times in the last two weeks, it is the season of cucumbers and I get asked about it all the time. As far as we are concerned, we are looking for a refresher in advance.”
Iyad Abu Abid He added: “It’s always fun to win, especially at Turner in front of the crowd. Of course, when you win 0:6 it’s no small thing, but we knew how to put it aside. There is a danger that it is a difficult game outside and just as after losses you don’t crash and put your head down, so it is also after victories.”
On the Reds’ season in the league against Maccabi Haifa and the fact that he came up to play with an injury: “We only look at ourselves and how to progress from game to game. That’s the only thing we care about. It hurt, but the previous loss hurt me more and it accompanied me and bothered me. I knew I had to go up and win, it made me feel better. We have no option to lose points, let’s come humble. our season? We’re having a good season, we can’t conclude yet, we want to improve.”
