The coach of Beitar Jerusalem, Yossi Abouxis, and his assistant Gal Cohen held a video meeting today (Wednesday) and commented on the game against Maccabi Netanya, in which the team from the capital won 3:6 with Zion Nicolasco scoring a fourth.
Already yesterday, Aboksis told the players: “There were many things in this game that were simply wow, there is no other way to describe it. And of course there were many things that were a catastrophe and I take responsibility for that. By the way, it was not only in the second half but also in the first.”
The coach added: “When there is pressure, I expect to see you get closer to each other, aggressive, not panicked. Luckily for us, I can analyze everything after a victory. We will work on all these things again.”
Regarding Ariel Harosh, Beitar is ready to offer the goalkeeper a contract for a season and a half – which should advance the talks – but a problem in the background is a lawsuit that Harosh filed in the past along with several other players, demanding compensation and social benefits for the time he played in the club. He may be asked to remove the His name was removed from the lawsuit in order to return to the club where he grew up.
The legendary player of Beitar Jerusalem, Stefan Shaloy, congratulated Yoon Nicolascu who scored a hat-trick on Saturday, in the team’s 6-3 victory over Maccabi Netanya. The Moldovan became the first player to score a hat-trick since the Hungarian did it in a 7-2 victory over Hapoel Beer Sheva in September 1997.
Shaloy said in the video he sent: “Hello Yun. My name is Stefan Shaloy, I played for Beitar Jerusalem and I am the last before you to score four goals in one game, 25 years ago. I want to congratulate you, I know it’s very special for a striker, welcome to the club.”
Then he said in Hebrew: “Comrades, it’s unbelievable 25 years, still, come on Beitar come on.”
Shaloy played for Beitar Jerusalem in the years 1994-1999, scored 59 league goals (sixth place all time) and won two championships with it. He remains the team’s top scorer in European establishments to this day.
Shaloy remained in the world of football even after retirement and served as sports director of several teams in his homeland. His last job was as the sporting director of Fahrbar – a position he finished about two and a half months ago.
