Despair, disappointment and a sense of failure in Betar Jerusalem after being relegated from the Cup. It turns out that the celebrations after the victory over Kfar Saba were unnecessary, when in money time the team from the capital failed, and after the 2: 1 loss to MS Ashdod in overtime in the cup – this is one of the club’s worst seasons in the last decade.
Owner Moshe celebrates frustrated, nothing goes to his group. At the end of the game, celebrating, he went down to the tunnel to Teddy, stood next to his coaches next to Betar’s locker room, and barely uttered a word. He leans against the wall, as the two coaches next to him keep coming back, trying to understand how Betar Jerusalem was thrown out of the trophy factory at home in front of the crowd, in front of Ashdod.
Celebrating conveyed his feelings in a Twitter tweet, which the actors very much disliked. “A humiliating tweet, it hurts us no less, what we earn we do not steal, our heart is also broken,” said team players in a tweet of a celebrant who may be preparing the ground for next season where the owner will not invest more money in buying players and high salaries.
Slobodan Drapic and Shai Barda are not expected to continue as the team’s coaches next season, the thought of saying goodbye to them has already crossed the minds of the celebrants and the team’s management, but at the same time they say that it does not matter now that changing coaches at this stage will not revolutionize the team. The top playoffs are not high. The despair in Betar is deep, lack of desire and exhaustion. “That season is over, nothing is going our way this year, just a nightmare,” Betar concluded.
If Betar does not qualify for the top playoffs, it has finished the season, the chances of relegation are low and a few points in the lower playoffs are enough to survive, but some sad Betar has reached this point. The players, coaches and celebrants need to do a mental arithmetic of how a team with such a staff is at such a low point.
The situation at the club is not simple, after all the investment of celebrating in three years, the team is not successful and next season will be considered with who brought Betar Jerusalem to this situation, players with a contract will be released, salaries in the team will become sane and Celebrate will be the only one to choose the coach For next season regardless of the desires and concerns of those around him. On Saturday, Betar will meet Ashdod again, a Betar victory will not necessarily help it reach the top playoffs. Idan Vered will be absent from the game due to yellows.
