The players fell off their feet unfortunately, we tried to improve the positions and give another goal but it was very difficult. We played against a team in wonderful shape, very intense. It’s not easy to come back after such a change, one of the biggest games of The club, in my opinion. We’ve only gone through half, the more difficult half is ahead of us. We’re going to a home battle against a strong team.”
Bachar continued to talk about the ability of his players: “I’m proud of the players. From two situations of nothing they turned the result around, we went into the second half well and we managed to dominate in an impressive way, to create more situations. Proud of everyone who played. The more difficult half is ahead of us, we believe. Already I led in the first game and lost in the second, I prefer to wait with the summaries. There is a chance, there is a good team, we can do it”
Becher attacked the league manager for scheduling the game against Sakhnin: “Unfortunately, we have a game stuck in the middle, there is no sense in playing on Saturday. The guys are not standing on their feet, we would be happier if they postponed the game. This is what is annoying about Israeli football, no understand”
