“We don’t want to mark V, but to give our shows”

Maccabi Haifa got what it wanted. The champion managed to collect three important points this evening (Saturday) from the city of Kiryat Shmona with 2:3, to record a second victory in a row and go to Paris with a calm mind. After the game, Greens coach Barak Becher commented on the victory.

You watched a tough game, but that much?
“We made him hard. Every time we felt comfortable – we absorbed. Precisely in 2:2, the 2:3 was closer to KSH. You can mark V, exhausting but V”.

You were exposed despite your demands on the brakes.
“I don’t want to criticize players, obviously we could have conceded the third and we knew it because we wanted to press. These things need to be fixed, I felt we improved it from the previous games, but today we were exposed. It can’t go like this.”

You said you wanted to be at the top before the break, where does it stand today?
“I don’t want to look at it as a burden. We came with a good attitude, we don’t want to mark V and continue, we want to give the performances we know how to give and not say that there was a game and another game. We have an interesting game on Tuesday, we will return to the league and hope to finish at the top before the break.”

What about Daniel Sondgren’s injury?
“It is impossible to know. It’s obviously not a minor injury when a player leaves the field, but it may not be that serious. He is an important player, we will wait and see.”

Menachem Koretsky, as I remember, is fasting for the death of his father. The one who replaces him recently on the lines is the assistant coach Ravid robbedwho was obviously not satisfied, and commented on the game as well.

You had a good game, but you leave disappointed.
“It was a pretty good game, we got into a lot of situations, but when you don’t score – you get on the other side. Haifa is a team that punishes for every mistake. We were left with the compliments, but no points.”

You are winless from the opening round.
“Right, that’s a fact. I am sure that if we continue with our ability and enthusiasm, the victories will come”

Is there pressure?
“There is always pressure. It’s an equal and tough league. The victories will come in the future if we continue our ability.”
