A huge step in the direction of a championship. Maccabi Haifa defeated Bnei Yehuda 0: 3 tonight (Tuesday), achieved a sixth consecutive league victory (for the first time in a decade) and increased the gap at the top to 9 points. The Greens did all this without their outstanding scorer, Nikita Rokavica, and now there seems to be one clear candidate to win the title at the end of the season.
“There are no easy games,” he began Barak Bachar The post-cop interview. “If everyone thought we would come and do the job in the best way, it’s not always like that. We managed to be efficient, players went into the box and did their job, even the young ones. I really liked everyone’s attitude and the one we did not absorb. Playing without Rokavica and Lavi? “Significant, but we are in good shape and good momentum, when three players are out then three others come in their place, it should not change too much.”
When asked about the improvement at Bogdan Planic he replied: “Ultimately a foreign player who comes here takes time to acclimatize. It took him a while and he knows it, he has self-criticism. He gave the maximum and that is no less important. He is an excellent player and he will get in shape As time goes on. Championship? We have not finished a round yet, so let’s wait with enthusiasm. Always celebrate 24 hours and then get ready for the next game. “Very large from the staff. Noble? We will wait until January and see what happens. We have another game load ahead of us.”
Planich He himself also responded and sounded satisfied: “It was a very good game, we kept a clean sheet and we have to thank Josh (Cohen) for saving Pendel again. I am very happy that we lacked several players in the game and scored 3 goals, it is very important 3 points. I Want to thank Nicky (Rokavica), I told him a bit to give me some of his magic and he touched me in the head and I won. One day you are up and say you are the best in the world and a day down. That’s how it is in football. I do not think this talk is relevant “We’ll see what happens at the end, they will be able to judge at the end. Degree? Step by step, the next game is the most important and that’s how we see things.”
The losing coach, Kfir Edri, Referring to his team’s ability: “Lately we are handing out a lot of presents. We got to the game against a team with quality up front. Other than their two kicks out of 16 they did not get to the situation, and in the end we made a mistake and went down 1-0 at half time. “We went according to plan, and in the end it was like that. Unfortunately we gave a gift, disappointed. Too bad, but okay, getting ready for the next game next week.”
Asked about the issue of the permanent coach, he replied: “I do not think the interest of the coach affects the players. They do not care who the coach and who on the lines. The players should give for who coaches at the moment. Concerned about our situation? Yes, our amount of points is not satisfactory. “To be with more. We will be strengthened in January with three or four players.”
Two teachers Felt bad after the loss: “I want to apologize, I made a mistake of goal and also in station I had to arrange them. Takes all the loss on me. From the days when I did not do anything, a good day, I tried and wanted but did not happen. Do not think the show was worth 3 : 0. We missed in front of a goalkeeper, we missed a penalty and mistakes of lack of concentration, especially mine. I want to apologize to the fans and everyone who Bnei Yehuda is important. If we get out of it on a promising first. Nothing affects us, we are professional players, accept all conditions. To T. “
