Bnei Yehuda of the last two years is not the same Bnei Yehuda that used to see in the neighborhood in previous years. Promotion to the playoffs of the Premier League, two wins in the State Cup and quite a few successful players that ended – were replaced by fights in the locker room, professional failures and incessant fan protests. Just before the team from the national league opens a season in an attempt to correct the impression, Barak Abramov, the team owner, was hosted by Shai Hauzman and talked about everything. Here is a glimpse in which Abramov talks about the contacts for the acquisition of the group and the “secret” of the failure of the last two years.

Would it be absurd to say that the end of Bnei Yehuda would be like Samson? Or Betar / Tel Aviv?
“As long as I am the head of the system, it will not happen.”
But the day after you?
“The day after I do not know, because of that now I am not in a hurry to sell. I want to sell to a worthy person, not to someone who tells me there is someone behind it. If I do not know who it is, I will not sell.”
But we are talking about a purchasing group, about Nissan Ezekiel.
“I did not receive any offer. There was a meeting, Nissan sat with me. They also came to the game and brought with them Tal Benin and Eden Ben Best. Very serious people, but there was no one willing to put money in the club, give me what I want and flow money for day-to-day running.” .
Can you tell us what the price tag is?
“Very low, very low. Because I really do not want to bother. To tell you the truth? I do not care about the money. The money I will take from Bnei Yehuda is just to get out, it will not really change my life. Me from the club. ”
Maybe it’s a matter of ego.
“I admit, yes, there is a matter of ego here. I do not want to hurt Bnei Yehuda, I love Bnei Yehuda, this club has done me a lot of good. I want to bring it back to the Premier League.”
But in the end it’s a matter of time, in two or three more years you’ll be out. Not fun for you there.
“I’m not having fun, right, I’m not having fun. I just want to come out with my head held high and know that I was not forcibly driven away. I am not a person who succumbs to bullying.”
So maybe this is what the audience there does not understand in Bnei Yehuda. They do not know the type, they do not understand that you have no problem walking, but they should come to you well.
“You said it”.
What is the secret of the failure of the last two years?
“Now I’ll give you an answer and say ‘he’s looking for culprits.’ I’m not looking for culprits, I always take responsibility for myself, even when I’m not. “That could be in the history of football. Even in the year we went down and even more in the year we didn’t go up and almost got involved. With a locker room not good, no matter what you do – you can not succeed.”
