Berkowitz commented on the future of Maccabi Haifa coach Barak Bachar: “Barak Bachar’s future is complex. He is in a huge mess. On the one hand he had to continue with Maccabi Haifa, he is the successful coach in Israel and took a championship. Shahar is not willing to pay what he deserves. Bachar earns between $ 200,000 and $ 250,000 a season. Instead, I would tell Shahar to double or leave the team.
“It’s not certain that he got it in the team. It’s the mess. Bachar can not be in the team without Yankele’s approval, they will not contact him without the approval. It’s a very big mess. Shahar knows that. I can say with certainty that there was a problem in the year Last time, Bachar did not get what he deserved. He has no other option except Maccabi Haifa. The only way out? A good offer from Europe. “
Barko spoke about the winner: “Maccabi Haifa does not need procurement so much. If it needs procurement, in my opinion, it is in a defense that is not good enough and we saw it yesterday. It does not have a left defender, I would bring another brake at a high level. Goldberg, with all due respect, no A classic brake. The right defender? Tight bundle, there are injuries and no stable right defender. If you strengthen then in defense. “If it works great, leave the same thing. There is a problem with the defense, something in the defense does not connect. I think Maccabi Haifa needs a better defense.”
“I want to talk about the Maccabi Haifa crowd. There is no such crowd. There are no such things. I played a decade in England, I have not seen such power in Europe. I have not seen anything like this. Their madness is amazing. Why ruin everything in a second? You are such a good crowd, why? I can not understand that. “
The magician then spoke at length about the loser, Maccabi Tel Aviv: “Maccabi Tel Aviv has the money to buy. Yesterday we saw a good 70 minutes. There is no problem, but there is no one to release. No one will want to leave. Mladen Krastić makes a great impression. Maccabi Tel Aviv looked like a healthy team. It was the first time I saw “Maccabi Haifa is confused by Sami Ofer, because Maccabi Tel Aviv pressed. Matan Hozaz, Eduardo Guerrero, everyone committed suicide on every ball. That is a good sign.”
“The last 20 minutes have been a total breakdown, both because of the substitutions and because of injuries. The biggest problem is fitness. Can’t professional players play 90 minutes at this pace? : 2 Dreamy about Sami Ofer, kill the game. Eyal Golsa sat on the bench, he had to play. You did not know the players, are you already going to sell them? “.
Barko commented extensively on the coach: “Krestic does not know English, he does not communicate with them. I imagine what happened in the 77th minute, the chaos that was. Two fell to the floor, one muscle tension, sudden spare, very problematic in terms of lack of communication. I think Having a resurrection, I was optimistic instead of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Sharan Yeni and Eyal Golsa will return, Luis Hernandez and Matan Balkata will return. They can not compete for the championship, but it is possible to stabilize the system and move forward towards next season. “
