Absolute shock at Betar Jerusalem after the 4: 1 defeat yesterday (Monday) to Maccabi Tel Aviv. The team from the capital recorded a third game in a row without a win, and for the fourth time this season conceded at least three goals. She has three games to end the regular season.
“No one is talking about a top playoff,” players on the team said. “Afraid to get involved in bottom fights, with this team anything can happen. We have built a short-leg team here, not a football team. Players do not run and the team is unbalanced.” Another player added: “There are no brakes, no aggressive back link and no serious strangers here. They are all children, except for Marco Jankovic and Ali Muhammad. Bring children here as strangers, what did they expect?”
Slobodan Drapic would have looked unfinished after yesterday’s game, like one who considered putting the keys and going, but would not, while although his status (and that of Shay Barda of course) has been undermined, there is currently no intention for Petro. However, as the group looks, everything is fluid. “If God forbid we lose to Bnei Yehuda, we are strong at the bottom until the end and then they may have to make a shock,” the club said. By the way, at the end of the game Drapich talked at length with Idan Vered.
Even in the locker room it was not quiet after the loss to the champion. Itamar Nitzan screamed: “How naive can you be? Why do people not want to run? What is this thing?”. Also, during the game it was impossible not to hear Eliran Atar’s complaints against Jordan Shua. “No one from the bench commented on him, so Atar commented on him. What happened, you can’t comment on him?”, The club wondered.
The big fear at the moment is that the team will really get involved in survival struggles, so in any case the yellow-blacks will try to do everything to beat Bnei Yehuda in three days. Another source said: “A brake for 2,500 euros did not arrive because it leaked to the media, so we were left without brakes. No Conte, no Verdska, injured Degani, yellowed Krieff … “A brake that they did not want at all, what form does it take? If it were not for Zargari’s good ability recently, we would not have achieved the seven points we achieved after the corona break.”
