After abandoning Betar Jerusalem’s game last Saturday against MS Ashdod, the three players were punished: Yarden Shoa, Michael Ohana and Eliran Atar arrived this morning (Thursday) for a conversation with the team’s chairman, Eli Ohana, in which they were reprimanded for the incident, and also It was determined that they would receive a fine, as was clear to happen. The amount is not yet known, and will be given to them later.
This morning’s meeting definitely marks a new, and stiffer line, of Betar towards its players. As you may recall, yesterday chairman Eli Ohana and new coach Yossi Mizrahi had a difficult conversation with the players, and as of this stage all the players are under a magnifying glass. Some will also not continue at the end of the season, including players who are under contract.
Senior Betar players reacted to the decision, saying: “Anyone who is unable to deal with criticism should check himself. “The whole world cannot be blamed, we must take responsibility for our situation.”
At the same time, the team hopes that Ali Muhammad and Glaofilo Hasselbaink, who went to the national team games (Muhammad with Niger, Hasselbaink with the Suriname team) will also be able to rest before the start of the lower playoffs. The injured Uriel Degani is still in doubt, ahead of the first game.
