After the painful 5: 0 it suffered in the derby against Maccabi Tel Aviv in the previous round of the Premier League, Hapoel Tel Aviv also failed to recover tonight (Monday) with a 2: 0 home loss to Maccabi Haifa, which for its part already touches the championship title and can guarantee it in the next round. Against Hapoel Beer Sheva II.
Kobe Medicine He said: “It is certainly not fun to lose. The first half we were not in the game, the second half we got into situations, but in the end the quality won today. The hardest week of our careers, also mine personally. It was hard to lift the team after the top five, but we are professionals. There is one truth – the club and the players know, do not live by what they say. Ask the players, but this time it was a difficult and different week and unfortunately such and such people tried to hurt. People are looking for me, do not come to close an account with anyone. “I am responsible for what happened in the derby, but Hapoel has had a good season so far.”
“The derby hurts it is true, the crowd is very jealous of the team and does not accept it, and rightly so. The season is not over yet for us, the next games will decide where we will be. 4th place is still a completely relevant destination. Omar Boxenbaum and I work together, this is the truth and I will continue to do so to the end. Foreigners must be hit next season, for which each player will be tested 200 times. We see hundreds of tapes a day, that’s what will make Hapoel a better team than it is there. “
Shlomi Azulay The contact said: “It was not an easy week, we felt it. We were in a lot of pain, we talked a lot about this derby, we came today and gave it our all on the field. Our good second half, but we failed to give the goal and continue forward to Sakhnin. We were still traumatized by the derby in the first half, then we responded better. The cries of the audience? We went through a difficult week, it’s hard for everyone and a career patch has been created, we need to pick each other up. Four games left to fix the impression. We applauded the audience from a distance, that’s fine. “
