Hapoel Tel Aviv Flare Incident and Coach Boreha’s Response: What’s Next for the Club?

2024-01-22 22:06:20

Hapoel Tel Aviv fans lit dozens of flares in the derby against Maccabi Tel Aviv last week and the club has not yet been prosecuted for it, but after the game tonight (Monday) against Beitar Jerusalem, Hapoel Tel Aviv knows they are in great danger and not just because of the 1:0 loss.

During the second half at goals 4-5, several smoke grenades and dozens of flares were lit, some of which were thrown onto the grass, the referee of the game, Oral Greenfeld, stopped the game for about four minutes, which means that the court will likely apply a suspended sentence that Hapoel Tel Aviv received last year.

In May, Hapoel Tel Aviv was punished by deducting a point in practice, receiving a heavy fine as well as a two-point suspended sentence for the “flarework show” of its fans in a game against Kiryat Shmona. Tonight, since the game was stopped and she was punished at the time on condition “in any case of a conviction for fan rioting, including in aggravating circumstances that include the use of pyrotechnic measures, which will cause the game to be stopped, even for a short period of time”, she may be punished by deducting two additional points at the court.

In the interviews at the end, coach Boreha said why after a fourth consecutive loss and seven games without a win: “I think we started well, we improved in the second half and got into situations, but then we suffered an outburst. We need to score from the situations we get into, recover from the situation and stay united.”

When asked if he could change the situation, he stated: “I am one hundred percent sure that I can make the change, otherwise I would not stay.”

Captain Dan Einbinder added: “When you lose, you must score in a burst after our stationary situation, so of course I am upset. It hurts, tomorrow is a new day and we will have to work much harder than we have been working until now. We knew that Beitar’s strength would be in a burst and after the first half no A favor in which we did not perform, things looked different and we created momentum and situations. The ball didn’t want to enter in 100 percent big situations and as the cliché says, when you don’t score in the end you absorb. It’s a goal I’m not ready for us to concede, but unfortunately we conceded.”

Einbinder also said after 2 points out of a possible 21: “I wish I had magic in the draw. I’ve been playing football for so long and I know that in times like this you probably do a lot of things not well or not enough. I do know, I’m sure and I believe in all the players here that we can do things better. We have to believe, persevere and work hard, that’s the only way we can climb back up.”
