The players are very cohesive.
We gather ourselves and get ready for the next game.
We players need to play better throughout the game and not just half.
We're working on it.
We hope that we will do that from the next game. "
Lavi was asked about the criticism against him and said: "I accept the criticism. I pass a lot of criticism on myself. If we had continued the first half in Kfar Saba no one would have said something like this or that. I should be better and help the team more. Hopefully I will do the "It's already in the next game. When you lose legitimate reviews. Didn't we get a yellow? That's not why we lost."
