Omar Peretz He said after the game: “We should have finished it before. In the first half we were lethargic and weak and this is not a team that can advance to the league like that. I am happy that in the second half we came to our senses and applied heavy pressure. In the end the goddess of luck was with us, but we need to look better. On the other hand, We need to appreciate these victories because we have lost in the past to teams that are not better than us.”
On the character of the last games: “It is impossible to eulogize us this year. The club has changed its face in terms of energy, management and daily conduct. If in recent years, all the teams wanted to meet Bnei Yehuda, this year we are a strong team and it is a well-managed club. This is the basis of a successful club. Capabilities We know we have it: I’m happy that Aliran Atar came back today because he added another dimension to us. We’ll move forward with it until the end, because every game is a final for us.”
On the struggle at the top: “We also saw in the Premier League that the gap is irrelevant, even if the gap was bigger. KS and Tiberias are strong teams that produce victories, Jaffa is also in fourth place. We need to continue to produce our victories, not lose easy games. The first half today was a direct continuation of Maccabi Herzliya and next week we will have to come to Acre with 200% ability.”
Bnei Yehuda players are happy (Ofir Migdal)
On the transfer window in January: “We got stronger in the defense, Sapir Yatach is a defenseman who came from the Premier League and I know him. Almog Bozaglo played our cards two days before the end of the window. We did everything to bring in a player who would change our team. We will deal with what we have, including Moti (Barshatsky) can play Almog’s role. We don’t have time to look back, we need to look forward. Everyone will get the points and play and have to give of themselves.”
Ami Tiarassistant coach Benes Ziona, was much more disappointed: “I think we gave 45 excellent minutes in which we led and had opportunities to increase the score. In the second half we played less well and went backwards, but we still had to keep the draw and not concede that goal in the 10th minute 96”.
“Yes, I asked the players to go forward, to continue the first half. Bnei Yehuda is a good team, but one that can penetrate from behind after losing the ball. In the transition attacks, we had to find the opportunity to increase the score,” he added.
Yuval Naim in the stands (Ofir Migdal)
Where is the season going: “We are like the other teams and in this league everything is tight and close. You win two games you are up and you lose two games and you are down. We need to know how to pick ourselves up and prepare for the future. I think we have good things to take from the first half and especially in the last period we look Well, except for the last game against Ramesh where we got three reds and it wasn’t really football. We have a positive momentum since Yuval arrived and we will have to bring the good things in the next game.”
