After the resignation of Shai Barda and Slobodan Drapich and the press conference of Moshe Hogg, Betar Jerusalem hopes to leave everything behind for the games in the lower playoffs and during the team break, she held a training session at home and with the interim coach on the lines – Yossi Mizrahi, who was asked by management to guide Until the end of the season.
First, the chairman Eli Ohana Speaking to the players and the team: “Unfortunately, we are in a situation of changing coaches again. I went into the locker room in Ashdod and did something I had not done in all my years here and did not want to do. You will learn to accept criticism. Even if it is very poignant. Every word of criticism that you and we have honestly earned. Everyone has to do the mental arithmetic for themselves. It starts with your language towards each other, and it continues with the early departure from the stadium. What has been until now will not be. It is our resounding failure. Look at the players here. We come to every important game in recent years and do not win. Where are the wineries? Betar Jerusalem not reaching the playoffs is a huge failure. Terribly convenient to throw at the coaches. Almost all the top football coaches have moved here. We lost in Europe against a team we did not have to lose so the coach went, did not reach the playoffs, the coaches go, where are you? Not all coaches are good? Do not all coaches understand? ”
He added: “The disappointment is huge, but now you stop talking anonymously in the media, and stop being offended. Criticism is not done to punish, it comes to fix things. To change things, to improve things. There were coaches here who gave their soul, with investment, “Thoroughly, in the video calls, individual, group. There are those who wanted to learn and listen and there are those here who put a stripe because they know everything and understand everything.”
Ohana also commented on the sequel, adding: “We have another league. Whoever for one second thinks it’s going to be a trip, that it’s over and let’s pass the games, let’s say from now on, I will not be angry, but he will not be here. When you get to the bottom playoffs With this attitude and this ability of the last few games, we will get entangled at the bottom. You have to give back to our sane fans, not the ones who curse Ali and Eliran, to our sane fans, to the pride. We have a lot of those. “.
Then said Yossi Mizrahi In the opening call: “I did not want this job, I did enough in my life, but we were born in this club, and we are in crisis and enlisted for this mission but internalize well. “I was in all the situations in football. I was in championships, trophies, relegation, everything. No one can teach us what football is. We passed all the players in the world.”
“I appreciate until further notice the staff that was here. I was in great touch with them, first-rate professionals. Whoever is tactically disciplined, will play. Each of you will get the job definitions. I did not come to talk to you and take care of you. Do what I say and the story is over. There is a coach for the remaining games and that’s it. I warn those who will not straighten up. I can absorb mistakes and misses from two meters. We all made mistakes. Losing a ball and watching the friends fight it does not exist. You will come every game and give it your all. There are lots of players here. Understand what it is like to play in Beitar Jerusalem.
“They say everything is bad here between you. I know not and beyond that I saw something else. I saw players like Tal Ben Haim and Idan jump on a kid like Dego after he gave a goal. That’s what I want to see, that players sit outside happy and that players are sad and do not leave before “We went through everything here. If someone kicks or throws something after a substitution, he will not be here. I came focused on this task, go with me, train seriously, and think positive. There are a lot of good players here. You will understand that you are a team for the team effort you will succeed.”
At the end of the training, Mizrahi told the official website: “First of all I want to thank Shai and Slobo, very dear people and excellent coaches, who throughout the period and even on very difficult days they knew how to cooperate excellently with the youth department and wish such coaches.” Once and not twice and not five and six, it’s a bad and unpleasant situation, but I will let the players get used to me and I to them, and with a lot of hard work we can get out of this situation. Anyone who thinks the playoffs are a trip to the Galilee, is wrong. “It’s a different kind of football at all, of the bottom, and we’ll have to adapt to that situation.”
