Idan Aliniv Barda as coach on the lines at Hapoel BS opened yesterday (Wednesday) on the right foot. The Reds from the Negev did not show high ability or happy football as the landlady would like to see, but after a long time quite a few smiling faces You could feel the positive atmosphere in Turner during the 0: 2 victory in overtime over Maccabi Petah Tikva.
Aliniv Barda, who inevitably went down to the lines again, won compliments for running the game. The former striker was modest at the end, saying he was against the dismissal of Roni Levy and Pirgan as a former coach in front of the microphones. In between he apologized to Mariano Briero who replaced him at half-time after fearing he would get a second yellow and blew kisses in the air to Miguel Vitor after the goal he scored.
Before the opening whistle Barda summoned the players to a video conference. The faculty were convinced that this was a short tactical lecture but in practice, the interim coach chose to show motivational videos. First Liverpool’s 3: 0 loss to Barcelona and immediately afterwards Liverpool’s win over the Catalans 0: 4 in the rematch at Anfield.
“No one gave them a chance after the delay, but Liverpool proved character, winemaking and made a difference. We are also behind against Maccabi Petah Tikva. If they came back from a 3-0 deficit against one of the best teams in the world, we are also capable, “said the coach, who later showed the victory over Maccabi Haifa in the first round, a game in which Beer Sheva had ten players and turned the score around.
Alona Barkat, who went down the hall to the locker room, did not talk to the actors. Unlike previous periods at the club, they were surprised to see how involved Eli Barkat is when the TV cameras that usually focus on the businessman who broadcasts calmness captured a number of his very emotional reactions yesterday.
Breda complimented all the players, from Mariel Hemlock who after a period on the bench proved that he did not forget to play and until Itai Schechter called him the coach ‘hero’ when he played long minutes with a swollen and sore knee. Barkat made it clear to Breda that she does not intend to pay another coach until the end of the season but the club are still convinced that if Jackie Ben Zaken releases Ran Ben Shimon before the end of the season then the coach will land on Turner.
Breda was debating when to grant freedom to the players and after yesterday’s effort, set a rest today. It seems to me that Schechter is suffering from a meniscus injury, but it is unlikely that the injury will require surgical treatment. Sagiv Yehezkel, on the other hand, will miss a long time after breaking his clavicle and will be out for two months. Yehezkel, who wept bitterly in the locker room after a bad fall on the grass, received a sedative shot from Dr. Nassim Alkarnawi, the club’s doctor.
The team hopes that Turner Stadium will be full in the game against Hapoel Haifa on Sunday. The club hopes that the train has not yet left the station and that BS may still be able to tickle Maccabi Haifa until the end of the season.
