Hapoel Hadera can be pleased after today (Sunday) they defeated MS Ashdod 1: 2 at their home stadium in the Premier League. The Haderaites finished in ninth place with 23 points, a few days after advancing to the quarterfinals of the State Cup. At the end of the game, the winning coach, Menachem Koretzky, was pleased.
Koretzky: “I think lately, except for one game that was bad, Hapoel Hadera is in a great period. It was not reflected in the league, but we saw that there are sparks, we saw that the injured and the expelled are starting to return, all the players who were absent and absent a lot. “It was not our best game, but a third game in a week. The guys were tired and gave their all on the field. A super important victory.”
The coach continued: “We should not talk in terms of top playoffs. We should return to being a dangerous and fast team that plays forward, deep, endangers the goal and kicks in front of the goal. Things will come alone. Once we are good we can achieve good results. Want to maintain the existing one. “Days, I’m happy for the guys. They work hard and I’m happy for it. Menashe Zelka? He is the heart and soul of this club, where we need him he will excel. I am personally very happy to have a player like him, Hapoel Hadera should be proud of him.”
Aspirations for the cup against Maccabi Haifa: “What are you planning for the cup? There is time, you do not want to think about it. When the time comes we will know how to organize, at the moment we need to concentrate on the league.
Ran Ben Shimon, The losing coach, said: “We played with the best team we could put up, we lost a game that could have gone both ways and missed here and there. A mediocre game with a lot of winning chances in the first half. We lost the game on energies. We are unstable this season. Looking for investment stability. “In the approach. We made some exceptional games, today were many good minutes and bad minutes.”
Ben Shimon: “We look like our preparation. The preparation has to be super meticulous. We talked about it, it’s hard to absorb an early goal in front of Hadera. “Part of life. How painful it is we will move on. Every game you can win and you can lose. Hope to win all the games by the end of the season, pray it happens. Whatever came out came out, football is in all directions. As long as there is a chance we will keep fighting.”
