Will Maccabi Haifa lose the summit at the end of the round? The Greens surrendered tonight (Saturday) in Sami Ofer 2: 0 to Maccabi Petah Tikva, and this means that Maccabi Tel Aviv will be able to pass it on the way to first place if it defeats Beitar Jerusalem.
Barak Bachar He said after the game: “We knew it would be a difficult game, we knew we had to win and we did not do it. The guys gave it their all, we lost in the end. We did some refreshment on the roster, let’s look to the next game. Players took on a lot, they were tired and not at their normal level. Too bad we couldn’t win in spite of everything. We made 4 wins and this time we lost, there are many more games. “
He added: “Soon everyone will return and there will be more options. There are good staff but the players have squeezed themselves. We lost to a team that won rightly, we have time to recover for the next game, players will return and we will be better. First place? The struggle will be to the end. Need to lift ourselves, win the next game this is the best medicine. We will know the team to make the right preparations, to encourage the players, because they wanted and made an effort. They need to rest. “
Neta Lavie He said: “It is a pity that it happened but we need to get out of it. We had injuries and a difficult period, we thought we would squeeze another game and then everyone would come back but it did not happen and that is what it is. The fight against Maccabi Tel Aviv? Do not know if it affects, today we were soft and inaccurate and I was the first to be inaccurate. We’ll have to improve it. When everyone returns, it will look different. “
