Hapoel Tel Aviv is fighting for its life in the Premier League, but in its cup its life is much simpler. The Reds qualified for the quarterfinals after 1: 3 over Maccabi Netanya and are only three games away from the coveted title they have not won in nine years. Will they be a big surprise?
“It’s good that we went through a stage in the cup, it’s very important,” he said Nir Klinger At the end. “Even though I said we would have no excuses, six car players were missing and that bothered me a lot. We said we would go through the first half with a combative car and then in the second half we would put in the fresher players who sat outside and it worked. pass”.
When asked about his future, he said Klinger Unequivocally: “It bothers me the least. I don’t care what people talk about me, do I need to hear at my age what will happen in the future? I need to stay in the league, and when everyone comes back then maybe we will reach high in the cup.”
“Maccabi Tel Aviv is an excellent team and is in first place, but I hope that on the day of the game at least three players will return to the squad,” said Klinger and signed: “Defeating Netanya away twice in two weeks is not an easy thing. It is a team. A good that deserves the top playoff and Maccabi Haifa will not be easy against it. “
Recently, it seems that controversial refereeing decisions have become an integral part of most games in Israeli football, and Maccabi Netanya also suffered a dubious penalty that eventually led to its relegation. “” Judgment errors are a recurring pattern, judges do not do on purpose? That’s your look at the situation, I do not think so, “he said Raymond Atfeld Disappointed and watched the playoffs: “We will play for our honor against Maccabi Haifa, it’s just a pity that there are people involved in ruining our game. We have a lot more to play for.”
