Levy: “We knew how to excel”, Nimani: “An unreflective result”

by time news

Hapoel Haifa tonight (Saturday) recorded its fourth victory and the second in a row for the first time this season by 0:3 over Hapoel Hadera. Despite an injury to Dor Malol that clouded the three points for Roni Levy’s team, Tomer Yousfi made a successful debut with the second goal in the game, while Denis Polyakov also came on as a substitute for the winner who scored three goals after in their last five home games they scored only one goal and conceded two .

Roni Levy summed up the victory: “Let’s be fair, in the derby it was not a measure, we had to reduce the gaps. With the right reinforcements we will be a much better team. The result today is good. Even in less good moments we knew how to close the game and put together two victories after a long time A very long time. Those who play less games want much more. Yosef and Peretz show good ability. Even in periods when the team is not at its peak, we need to improve and we knew how to do it. When Hatem returns and more join, we will look better.”

On Yosef: “It’s incomprehensible to bring him up, but there are many disadvantages. Tomer is a player fit to play, he played until a week ago. He knows how to adjust himself, knows how to play in several positions and it did the job.”

On Glazer who is supposed to sign in her room: “I will be very surprised if he passes.”

Tomer Yousfi on the successful debut: “With a hand on my heart, I always believed in myself. A debut with a first goal, I hope to continue like this. Roni Levy gave me the chance in Beer Sheva, I’m happy to repay him for the trust he places in me. I trained all week In the team, me and Roni consulted, and I’m happy that we did it in the best possible way. I’m not concerned with Beer Sheva. I’m only concerned with myself, with Tomer Yosef, who has confidence. My expectations? If the team succeeds, I’ll succeed. The fact that we didn’t even concede on a penalty says a lot.”

Assaf Niemani felt that the loss did not reflect the ability of his players: “The result does not reflect. Hapoel Hadera took points in a season that did not look good. We need to see where the problems are, and we have quite a few of them, and solve them. If I continue to play offensively and lose, this is how you will interview me me in leagues I don’t want to be in. We need to find the balance. We knew we had offensive parts that weren’t bad at all, but we don’t get in the door and that’s what we need to focus on. We’re doing our best to get stronger in the right places. It’s not appropriate for us to get 3:0. Missing the penalty means everything for me.”

The coach added: “I’ve been saying all season that our place in the table is a false sun. We know what our goals are. The goal is to stay in the league, we understand how difficult it is to win this season. We hope to get the points in Kiryat Shmona.”

On Glazer: “I don’t bother with these things. We lost three important points. Our goal is definitely to get stronger.”
