Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Haifa in the ugly confrontation (Omri Stein)
Maccabi and Hapoel Haifa were partners last night (Wednesday) in one of the most embarrassing moments for them when at the end of the second derby game of the season in which the Greens won 0: 2, the two teams were part of an ugly turmoil and are expected to face disciplinary action following referee Liran Liani. All the serious events that accompanied the end of the game.
His report would include not only events that were immediately whistling to end on the grass, but also those that were inside the hallway that separated the two locker rooms. It turns out that the most significant commotion was in the hallway when players from both teams attacked each other, which did not go unnoticed by the referees who came running to the scene and wrote down in notebooks every detail of the rampage, so that an orderly report could be sent to the Football Association prosecutor, Adv. Nir Reshef , Following which it will be decided on indictments against those involved.
According to testimonies from those present in the fiery corridor, if not for the intervention of the security personnel who separated the hawks, the result would have been much more serious: “It would have looked like a battlefield, players attacked each other and tried to quarrel. These are sights seen in low leagues and not the Premier League. “It was terrible. There was one big mess,” some of those present testified. The referee’s report will record all incidents subject to the observer’s report and only then will the players and teams face disciplinary action. On the face of it, it seems that there will be quite a few players removed from both teams.
The event began immediately with the whistle to end. Maccabi Haifa player San Menachem called out to the Hapoel bench “home, home”. At that moment Menachem Hapoel attacked Menachem and from here a great deterioration began. Among all those seen in the commotion were officials from both teams, including the two general managers of the clubs, Assaf Ben Dov on the one hand and Oren Sterling on the other. A Hapoel Gal Erel player claimed that Ben Dov attacked him while Ben Dov vigorously denied the claim against him. Maccabi Haifa claimed. Shadan Ben-Best got up from his seat on the bench and grabbed San Menachem by the throat and from here a bigger commotion began with the participation of both teams.
Maccabi Haifa players said: “Now Hapoel are crying but they forgot the previous derby and the story that Gal Erel put up at the end of the same derby he recorded that was delicious as if we ate it. Hapoel do things to tease and we are silent. Hapoel will return to their holes. They reacted like animals after Sun shouted “Towards them” home “. Once they jumped like animals then we too know how to make a zoo. We are not afraid of anyone and no one will step on us.”
A senior Hapoel Haifa official said: “It was not a fight with boxers up front but an urgency. There were players who tried to separate and got into a situation. They may have jumped on them. What ignited it all was the provocation of San Menachem. He was an explosive barrel. Our player never did Such a provocation. ”
Hapoel Haifa general manager Oren Sterling, who seems to be trying to separate the hawks, said: “This is not the first time that Maccabi Haifa players are making provocations towards our players. You can clearly see at the end of the game me and our other officials trying to keep our players away while Maccabi Haifa officials and one “A very senior official, brutally attacks Gal Erel. Even in the tunnel when we keep our players away while defending Eden Ben Best, Bogdan Planich jumps on Eden along with two other players I have not seen.”
