KPS players celebrate with Lavaga Kisito, Tambi Segs and Autumn Finish disappointed (Shahar Gross)
Great frustration in Bnei Yehuda after the 3: 1 to Hapoel Kfar Saba at Bloomfield Stadium last night (Sunday), when they led, lost their head again, stopped playing after suffering another “glorious” mental fall, snatched a makeover by Elisha Levy and his teammates and were left with an undefeated eighth game. In the Premier League. The stunned Oranges, who still dreamed of embarking on a new path after the break, are now only two points away from the red line and if until now someone in the Hatikva neighborhood still did not understand: they are strong candidates for relegation.
The host still started the game well in Jaffa, and even gained an early advantage from the fourth goal of the season by Muhammad Gadir, but then the “shift gift” was from Matthias Liovich, who gave KPS a numerical advantage until the end of the game and left his teammates with ten yellow cards. Until the 31st minute, since then, the game has belonged to the Greens from the Sharon, who went to apply pressure, did not stop until they scored three goals and were even gentle with the Oranges.
“We are on the way to decline, at this rate it will happen,” said players in Bnei Yehuda, visiting and sounding worried in light of the difficult situation in the table. “It’s not something that can happen anymore if we do not wake up, it’s here and now, and we need to start understanding that we are in danger of relegation from now on. It does not work for us with three brakes, in ten players we have nothing to sell and how to play. It looks bad in all respects And to the last of the players. ”
And it not only looked bad from the side, but also sounded bad from the stadium, when the club’s owner, Barak Abramov, shouted and insulted the referee, Snir Levy, for the decision to keep Liovich away, who himself added guilt to crime and also raged after being sent off and slammed a bottle. . It was very hot in Bloomfield throughout the match, in the technical area and in the stands above the host team’s bench, and for a moment it seemed that everyone connected with Bnei Yehuda had lost their temper this evening.
“If not for Matthew’s red we’re in the game and must win this game,” said players in Bnei Yehuda’s nervous locker room at the end of the game. “We controlled the ball, we moved it well, we played better in the first half hour, but then the game was over.” Another player said: “It’s bullshit because every game we finish and say if and if and if. No, we can’t win, you can’t drop it every time on someone else. Every time someone else makes a mistake and finishes us off.”
What is certain is that Liovich’s behavior, which was sent off for the second time in three games, “earned” him harsh criticism from his teammates. “This is not how a player behaves who cares about the team and his friends,” said players. “He already felt he was a star with us and allowed himself too much, behaved the way he wanted, it came to his head. He is irresponsible and unfocused, or he misses us penalties or absorbs reds, enough already. Once again he abandons us. Just loses us points. .
“It is not possible for a player to be sent off twice in a month,” the club added of the Serb. “It’s not funny anymore, and it does not matter if the other yellow was justified or not. He should not get into a situation where he is with a stupid yellow of nerves already at the beginning of the game and then the smallest thing is to be in the hands of the referee. He was wrong, but we played into hands. There are those who finished our game and there are those who gave him the opportunity to finish our game.
“It’s true that Leujic had offers, he wanted to go and move forward, but it did not work out in many exams and he is a Bnei Yehuda player. He is committed to Bnei Yehuda, we have no doubt, but the situation of the team and the emotions of the game “We’ll talk to him until he stops talking about these things.”
Meanwhile, the team hopes that significant reinforcement will come from the injured due to the decision to close Ben Gurion Airport, when Dan Mori and Niv Zrihan will try to return to MS Ashdod on Wednesday, but they are still in doubt, while Amit Zanti and Alison dos Santos will need a few more days. recovery. Overall, the neighborhood hopes that within a week to 10 days the four injured will return to full activity and staff.
The one who is already in Israel is the Nigerian Navanko Obiora, who has already started impressing after landing in the country last weekend. The back contact did fitness training in the Hatikva neighborhood and looked very good physically, so at least according to the first impression the fear of the Oranges, due to the fact that he did not play and train in a team setting recently, was removed. Thus, he is expected to soon sign a contract until the end of the current season with an option for another season, as first reported on ONE.
