Incident at the end of the game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Betar Jerusalem. The champions’ striker, Alexander Peshich claims that the rival’s coach, Slobodan Drapic, cursed his mother and sister and even claimed racism on his part.
“Is it racism when the Croatian coach of the rival team cursed my Serbian mother and sister? What should I do? Leave it alone?”, The striker wrote on his Instagram account and tagged the football clubs of Maccabi and Betar. “Nothing is personal, if he is injured I apologize.”

And now for the game. Betar Jerusalem has not yet managed to put together two consecutive victories this season, when tonight (Monday) it finished 0-0 against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Although this is the reigning Israeli champion with the deep and high-quality staff, the yellow rival is not the same as it was in Vladimir’s time Ivica on the lines, and in the capital hoped to take advantage of this, but without success with a rather weak game in Teddy.
“In terms of power relations, we did not deserve more than a point,” he concluded Shai Barda After the meeting. “The defensive game was great, but the offense was not. Once in ten games I can not enjoy offensive football, but we’ll go back to that. I’m sure. Football is based on confidence. We scored another point. We started the season not well, we changed a bit. “I am never satisfied with 0-0 and football, which is almost without situations. We could have done more with the few situations we had.”
Then the coach went on about the staff and the future: “The basics are seen. The team is committed and from here we need to get stronger and the landlord knows. In January we will have to get stronger and from there we will progress. First of all we need to improve football level. “I agree that we need to play more offensively, we know we did not see it today, but we will be there. The landlord needs to hear from us what roles we need. We love the players who are a second before the break, celebrating need to hear the names first and then run to the media .
Itamar Nitzan He added: “We were better, we felt we had more control in the game and we lacked a goal. We stopped a team that conquers a lot, but we needed the goal that did not come unfortunately. We move forward, no matter the result. We will think how we can improve. We are blind to such a result. Or else. We are in the process of taking Betar to the top and winning degrees. True there is no patience, but we started the season not well and we need to think about how to stick to the top. Crying about the start of the season will not help us. My goal is to be as good as possible for the club and help it as much as possible. “
