- The full interview with Benyon – tonight on “Open Ground”
“You can’t call what I did at Betar Jerusalem a failure,” Benyon began, “I think I worked on a lower budget than the big ones and we did very nice things.”
“Even when we were at the top, they always said that Betar was a failure even though it was not true. “Moshe Hogg gave me all the support, he did not interfere with me professionally in my year at Betar Jerusalem. He always flowed with my ideas and my decisions, I do not think there are a lot of owners in the Premier League who would conduct themselves like this,” Benyon said in the second year “Things have changed,” Benyon said. “Betar Jerusalem gave me a lot and I ended it nicely. I did not want the relationship to be damaged, so I felt I had to go with my truth.”
Benyon watches from the sidelines what is happening in Betar Jerusalem and still expressed concern for the club. At the same time, it is difficult to say that he is surprised that the team is at the bottom of the table: “I am not surprised by what is happening this season. I saw some things that could happen in the summer, I did not think it would be so. They can still make the season, there is a lot of talent there. “
One of the most resonant decisions in Betar Jerusalem was Benyon’s decision not to join Noble Omar in the summer. Moshe Hogg publicly expressed his desire to join Noble, but Benyon, the highest professional authority objected. Now, he explains what was behind the scenes.
“I was opposed to him coming to Betar Jerusalem, and I agree with that,” he said. I thought this was the right decision for me, Roni and Moshiko. I’m not the only one who was against, but it was convenient that it was only me who opposed. ”
“When I build a team, the most important thing is to build a good locker room and be as quiet as possible,” Benyon explained, “I was sure another such thing would make a lot more noise. At the time I was then, I thought it was true. Today things changed, the case closed, and it “A different situation. Everyone can decide what they want and Yankele Shachar’s decision is legitimate. When I am in place, I decide what I see fit at the same time.”
At the end, Benyon made it clear that he did not hold a grudge against Moshe Celebrate: “I think he is the only one who knew how to say goodbye to me in an amazing way. He did a lot for me, and I wish him success.”
“Betar Jerusalem was a very good start and I believed that after two or three years in this position, I would be able to work in Europe,” Benyon concluded.
