After a long break outside following the outbreak of the corona plague in the team, Betar Jerusalem will meet Maccabi Netanya tomorrow (Thursday). And the preparations for coping.
“The corona is a strange thing, but it’s the world we live in now,” he said Ali Muhammad. “Being sick with Corona is not nice. You get weak and you have no strength in your body. It makes you feel like you have to start all over again. Like you are ahead of the season. Now we do the training slowly, hoping to get back in shape as soon as possible.”
Muhammad went on to say: “Before the Corona the games were close, you get used to playing three games a week. Suddenly you are not training. You are sick and ten days doing nothing. I am waiting to come back, but it is difficult. You are at home alone with yourself, going through a lot of things “You miss the field, coming to training, seeing your friends. It’s weird, but that’s the situation.”
On the arrival of Nico Olsk: “There is not much to say about Nico. I played with him for three years, I know how he plays and I enjoy playing with him. Most of the things that happen between us in a game happen in a click. Not much to talk about, it’s one of the benefits, and I hope it will “We have another plus. Netanya? Most of the football players and coaches play against their former teams. I was there for a long time, I played there, the feeling is different, strange, but it’s football.”
“No one has been through a period like we are going through in this part of the season,” the team coach added, Slobodan Drapic. “We do not know what we are heading towards, and we are thinking about how we can lift the team whose 21 players were Corona patients. What they will look like after a week of training against Maccabi Netanya. The physiological aspect is unusual, but we try everything. It is our part. “In the profession and we will try to deal with such things. I very much hope that we will deal with it in the best way possible.”
On the reinforcement he arrived he said: “The January transfer window is problematic, we know it’s not easy to find significant players at this time, but I know the club have worked very very hard to bring in Marco and Nico, who we know, and let’s not forget his recovering injuries. “How he feels. We very much hope that in a short time they will integrate in the best way possible.”
On the field in Netanya he added: “It’s fun to play on the field in Netanya, we know him well, last time it was against Hadera and we won. We know it will be a completely different game. We really want to be the healthiest and most prepared for this game. We know how important this game is for us “In terms of points. We want to be in the top playoffs and are making efforts to be there.”
