The marathon continues: after being eliminated on Saturday from the State Cup in the eighth round against Hapoel Beer Sheva, Beitar Jerusalem returns to its only remaining goal this season – the league. Tomorrow (Tuesday, 20:00) it will host the newcomer Hapoel Petah Tikva at Teddi. And before the game, The team convened two press conferences today in which coach Yossi Aboksis and defender Lee-On Mizrahi addressed the challenges ahead.
“It was disappointing,” Aboxis summed up the loss in Turner to Be’er Sheva. “We lost the game because of a lack of concentration from the corner. We continue forward, we are in the fight for the playoffs – in terms of net points we are in the playoffs, we have 25 points. We need to make up for the minus four to enter the playoffs.”
As for the criticisms against him, Abouxis said: “On Saturday, everyone came with claims that I didn’t make a substitution, I don’t think that it is necessary to bring substitutes from home. I don’t think that anyone was unwell or tired. If we had gone into overtime, of course I would have made substitutions. It was one of the best games It’s ours this year, and I don’t have to make changes based on what people think.”
“Only with us 3 defenders is considered a defensive formation,” said Abouxis as for the formation, “in the last two games we were in our best games – both the first half against Hapoel Tel Aviv and the first half against B.S. were among our best this season. Not only were we offensive , we were also good in defense – to hold a team like Be’er Sheva to almost zero situations, it’s upfront about a strong defensive game.”
And finally, Abouxis of course also referred to the refereeing: “I was very angry,” he said referring to the penalty that was not whistled on Adi Yona. “I felt that there was a penalty on the field, the replay only made me stronger. This is one of the worst mistakes that happened this season, because the referee (Nael Odeh) was five meters away from the case. They say that refereeing mistakes balance out – with us it doesn’t balance out, it only gets worse.”
