Maccabi Haifa came with quite a few expectations for the game this season against Maccabi Tel Aviv at Bloomfield Stadium, but similar to the game earlier this season in Sami Ofer against the opponent, this time too the Greens failed to win on the way to a painful and dramatic 2: 1 overtime, which narrowed the gap to 5 Points only.
Northern Coach, Barak Bachar, He said at the end: “It hurts to lose in this way, probably in such an important game, probably in the first half we had to lead and finish the game. We slowed down in the second half, we conceded a silly and unnecessary goal but this is football. Sun’s replacement? I felt tired so I wanted to refresh the team, Hozaz did an action there that we should have prevented before, we should not have given this situation in 1: 1 minute 90 and we were punished unfortunately.
The effect of the loss on the continuation: “Losses are part of the matter, it hurts to lose in this way, we lost and there is nothing to do, we were better and we did not deserve to lose, we need to know how to deal with it, a strong and big club has to deal, we are upset and depressed, tomorrow we will get revenge and train” Still leading and first place and 5 points difference. The goal was to come and win, even at the break we decided we wanted to win but sometimes things happen. “
“There was a balanced game neither here nor there, here half mode and there half mode, there was not a single team that was better. There were games this year that we played at a high pace for 90 minutes, I agree that there was a decrease in the second half, it was half equal, we also had halves of situations and possibilities that if we were more accurate we could win.
“It went here or there and unfortunately fell on the other side. The previous game is irrelevant, we were better for more minutes, their goal is not related to the character it is a lot of bad luck and we will see it later. We will go through this and it will happen again this year. Right now we are first and want to keep it up and win. The league is still long and there are two more games against them, “he concluded.
