“There are 21 players like Ohana,” Barda continued, talking about the midfielder, who vomited in the middle of the game. “We need to know how to divide the minutes as much as possible, we do not want them to feel sorry for us. We will play with what we have and I very much hope we succeed. After the day, we need to smile. Jankovic and his followers? They were fine. It was a fine performance for the first game. “
also Ophir Kriaf Referring to the events of the Corona: “It is true that we did not come from an ideal situation to play football, but it is not interesting in a club like this. Once you go up, you have to give 100%. Whoever can not play, will not play – We have to give everything. ”
On the weak first half, Krieff said: “In cup games, teams from the second division come to prove. They only have something to gain. We knew it would not be easy, fortunately we won twice and we went up. The noise around? We are professional players, nothing interesting. They give us salary and conditions to succeed In Betar every week you have to come and fall on your ass. We have already lost countless points, every game until the playoffs is like a trophy. We will pass Maccabi Petah Tikva and continue to the next game. ”
On the losing side, he said Eli Cohen: “Until the 40th minute there was an even game. Maybe they held the ball more, but did not create situations. Lack of concentration led to two mandatory goals, and in the second half we stopped playing and chased. A lot of our ball losses, in the second half saw the level differences. Too bad, but “The trophy for us is a bonus. The goals are in the league, in the fight for the top playoff.”
