Haim Sylves (Shahar Gross)
Will Hapoel Tel Aviv finally record a victory in the Haim Sylves era? After five consecutive draws since his arrival, the new coach of the Reds, who will hope to record a debut victory against Kiryat Shmona and the fresh ex Slobodan Drapich on Saturday (15:00), spoke today (Thursday) inThe press conference was broadcast live on the website before the game.
Syllabus He opened his words: “If you interpret the results, what you say is correct, but I mainly look at the road and the feeling that we are making progress. Of course we want to win every game and I’m very sorry we couldn’t win the last game. We deserved it, but in football you have to perform. Against KSH, this is one of the games that Payet will be strong, every game is equally important. It’s a super difficult away game, we’ll try to dominate the game and get the points.”
The Hapoel Tel Aviv coach added: “I’m not afraid of anything, it’s football. Our job is to arrive prepared and try to understand who we are playing against. I can get the impression of the opponent like we did in the last few weeks, but we have to put the emphasis until the last aspect to come out with all the points in the end as we deserved. I try to focus the group on the task, that’s all we focus on. After this game will come the next game, and the one after that and the games after that.
“I believe all the coaches and teams feel the same. Therefore, there is no point in using passwords from the outside that would introduce more elements of pressure. Everyone knows what each victory does to the balance of power in the table and in the league. Come to every game to win. We do look good and play well. It doesn’t matter who the opponent was, we looked good against all of them – both against Raina and against Maccabi Tel Aviv. I hope the players will get paid on Saturday.”
Regarding the shortcomings in the team’s squad, the coach said: “This is a critical period in terms of yellow cards, injuries, and illnesses. Both Dan (Einbinder) and Case (Ghanem) were a little sick. Alan Ozbolt has been out a bit and I hope he will be 100% fit for Saturday’s game. Godfried Romeroto with yellows and will not be available and maybe Antoine Conte will be in the squad. Hisham Laios suffered a prolonged injury and his recovery became longer and meticulous about the small details. He is at the very end of his injury and I hope that next week we will be able to add him to the squad.”
Silves also added: “Self-confidence is the heart of every footballer, you see me talking about it – those who have seen the games have the answer to that. The group arrives and also understands the situation. The players are very committed, sometimes there is something noticeably missing of another element that will move them forward in terms of feeling. When it happens I hope it continues to happen. Everyone understands what every game in the Premier League means.”
Alan Ozbolt He said: “Back to playing? It’s the coach’s decision, now I feel fine. It would be nice to see Slobodan Drapić again, but now we are on the other side so in 90 minutes it doesn’t matter. I think everyone should calm down and get three points, and after we win it will be easy for everyone. Hapoel Tel Aviv’s place in the top six, everyone has bad and good times and I believe we will improve. It’s hard for me to say what needs to be changed, I’m just a player, but apparently we don’t see and aren’t good enough at the moment. Each of the players brings something new, and we concede fewer goals, which is important to us. I think that sooner or later, Ganam will get his goals and we will return to win.”
