tax. Ashdod was stopped tonight (Saturday) in a disappointing 0: 0 with Bnei Sakhnin from the bottom, precisely after beating Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva in a row. Yet, Ran Ben Shimon, The hit coach of the 2020/21 season, did not come out overly disappointed.
“It was clear to me that it would be difficult, facing a team that is fighting for its life needs different tools and a different way of thinking. There are games where you score a small goal from half a situation and there are days when you are not. I am proud of the players.
“Sakhnin showed that they know how to stand exceptionally on the field, she also showed it in Bloomfield,” Ben Shimon added, referring to the goals of someone who suddenly became a top team: “The only stated goal is to reach the top playoffs. The second will be. “
Ben Shimon, as I recall, is wanted by Hapoel B’Shlosha for next season – but my husband Ashdod, Old Jackie, Not in a hurry to release him. “It is a pity that there will be a discussion on Ran’s issue because there is no deal,” Ben Zaken told Sha’ar Hashabbat. “There is an abysmal difference between a player and a coach, and in no situation will he be released to Be’er Sheva as long as it is up to me. If that happens, I promise I will leave Israeli football.”
From the other side, Bnei Sakhnin did stop a streak of three losses, but also closed a fourth game in a row without a right goal. “I saw an enthusiastic team, players who really want to and the forwards were not bad, but we lacked the finishing leg. We have difficulty at the front, but it’s a matter of confidence and momentum. It’s not a good time and it will pass,” he clarified. Avitan tried.
Avitan referred to the confrontation with its chairman, Muhammad Abu Yunis, which almost led to his leaving the club. “The relationship between and Abu Yunis is excellent,” the coach insisted. “There was a disrespectful outburst in my opinion that hurt us all. He hugged me later and we moved on. If he wanted to fire me he would do it. I’m connected to the club and the players and think we’ll do nice things again.”
