Hapoel Beer Sheva has counted three wins from three games since Roni Levy finished his way on the lines, and on Saturday she will open her way in the top playoff where she will try to erase the gap from Maccabi Haifa and overcome it in the championship fight, when she hosts Maccabi Netanya (19:00, Sport4). Coach Aliniv Barda showed up today (Thursday) for the press conference ahead of the 27th round, and confirmed that the injured Itai Schechter and Sagiv Yehezkel will be absent from the game, while for the other players in doubt, the team will be smarter after training today.
“Maccabi Netanya did an exceptional second round, with excellent results, it is a very strong team, but we will only deal with ourselves and try to improve in every game,” Barda said at the beginning of his remarks. “My desire is to improve the players personally and so we will improve as a team.”
Regarding the dilemma in choosing the 11th and the rival, the coach said: “I study all the rival teams, before a game we sit the whole team and see the next rival. The selection of players depends on the rival and what you see in training. Play against you and she’s crazy, and raging and running on the field, I do not know anything else – you have to run more of them and be more crazy than them. Each player has to give 200%. You can be better or less, but when you look in the mirror you have to say we gave everything. I believe the results will come. “
Barda was asked about his players often receiving yellow cards due to protests over the refereeing, and replied: “It’s part of the game, football is a game of emotions, tensions and nerves. .
In addition, he responded to the appointment of Yossi Benyon as the professional manager of the Israeli team: “For Yossi this is a natural way, he represented the country with great respect. This is a super worthy choice, I hope he will help lead the team to good places.”
In addition to the coach, Tomer Yosefi also spoke, who said: “Usually, when there are changes, it does good and brings new energies to the team. I am very happy that Aliniv is with us, I admired him since I was a child and now that he is my coach I learn from him every day. Confidence on the field, and I think all the players feel that. “
When asked about the championship race, the contact replied: “We look from game to game, hoping to make a good result against a tough opponent like Maccabi Netanya. This is a very talented team, we will have to come in crazy and the crowd will be with us. We hope to take three points to advance in the table.”
