With a streak of four games without a win, and a high chance of reaching the lower playoffs, Betar Jerusalem faces a crucial week, where they will meet Hapoel Kfar Saba in the league and MS Ashdod in the state cup. “Moshe is celebrating very frustrated,” testified a source in the team. “The way the team looks is finishing him, but he will not make a shock at the moment. He tries to disengage from what is happening but takes it hard. “
However, the assessment is that the status of the pair of coaches Slobodan Drapic and Shai Barda is very fluid, and depends on any result that is achieved from now on. “This is a critical week,” the same source added. “A entanglement at the bottom and a relegation from the trophy could lead to shocks. We really want the coaches to succeed and they have received positive reinforcements even after Bnei Sakhnin and Maccabi Tel Aviv, but someday the deterioration should stop.”
And if that wasn’t enough, there was also an incident with Jordan Shua, who was substituted in the half of the game against Bnei Yehuda. The striker did not enter the locker room at the break, and Drapich went out to him and shouted, “You are not following instructions, you are not running and doing what you want outside.” Not only the coach has criticism, but also some of the players. “No one here is a teacher,” said one of them. “It cannot be that players like Idan Vered, Ali Muhammad or Aviel Zargari will run 11 km every game, and other players do not want to run. Whoever does not want to run, who will not play. It’s just a shame. “
Now, as mentioned, the face of Betar for the game against Hapoel Kfar Saba on Sunday. A player in the mud said: “The battle against Kfar Saba will be on the bottom, we have to win and come clean-headed to the cup.” Professionally, Muhammad and Or Zehavi will return after serving a suspension. Accumulation of yellow cards, while Marco Jankovic is still in doubt, the exhausted Zargari may open on the bench, and Tamir Adi and Uriel Degani will only return to the playoffs.
Ophir Krieff is squeezing compliments on his ability in recent games, as well as Idan Vered, who was supposed to play half against Bnei Yehuda, but completed 90 minutes. In addition, Eliran Atar becomes Betar’s main executor. Eight goals and three more assists, meaning he is involved in 11 goals in total.
