Timothy Avani vs. Dan Bitton (Radad Jabara)
After the 3: 1 loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv tonight (Monday), there was great concern among MS Ashdod from the direction of the brake Timothy Avani. The Ugandan, who was replaced during the game at Bloomfield, explained to the professional team that he felt his back thigh muscle torn.
Avani, whose big mistake led to a goal by Eyal Golsa in the first half, felt the injury in the second half and could not continue when he made way for Omri Ben Harush in the 59th minute. The player will of course be tested later.
Ran Ben Shimon, Who saw his players almost complete a dramatic comeback, explained: “We do not differ in level from any team in the league, but fall short in the small things. Was a weird game that is hard to analyze. We were not sharp and in games like this it is not an option. For the first 20 minutes it was extreme and after that we dominated and fell small. We did not adjust to the pace and lost random balls. The pressure we put on our own shoulders sometimes comes to us. I am proud of the company’s desire to play football in Bloomfield as well. We are not yet a team that practices in these situations, it is a team that has been at the bottom for many years and sometimes it is no easier to deal with successes than with failures. “
Ability towards the top playoff: “In big games we lost points but we want to get into the playoffs with momentum. The fact that we are striving for positive football could be that in the future it will bring us more points. Even today we seemed to be back but we got on the other side. We have an excellent and good enough staff to beat each other as a team and that is how we will aspire to the top playoffs. “
Roy Gordana, Who scored a big goal, expressed a feeling of missing out at the end: “Anyone who knows me knows that exiles are less interesting to me, the result is a bit disappointing. The first half we were not in the game but the second half we could compare and there is a sense of missing out. We tried to move the ball at all costs and it did not work out the first half. “Half a second we picked up the pace and pressed higher, but we lost, so it doesn’t do much good.”
Goals for the future: “First of all ensure a top playoff. Hapoel Hadera and Hapoel Kfar Saba are games that need good results to do it. “If we are in a battle for Europe towards the 31st round, we will want to fight for the ticket, but at the moment declaring such goals is a bit out of place.”
