Summary of Maccabi Tel Aviv's 0:0 draw away against Hapoel Petah Tikva/Sport1
Despite the anger, nerves, pressure and frustration, Robbie Keen chose last night (Sunday) to encourage his players at the end of the 0:0 draw against Hapoel Petah Tikva.
Minutes after losing 2 more points in the championship race, the Irishman said to the Maccabi Tel Aviv players: "Raise your heads, because you will win many more games this season. This was not our night. On another night, we would have scored five goals here, but this was not a night of goals for us".
Tried to calm down.

Keane tried to cheer, but the players' faces were on the floor.
Maccabi Tel Aviv records an extraordinary crash with the loss of 9 league points in such a short time.
"You need to check history if a table leader by such a large margin and with huge success rates, lost 9 points in four games. This is an inexplicable collapse," said last night sources around the club.

In Maccabi Tel Aviv, Kein is expected to pull the team out of the mud and although it seems like bad timing, the club is actually happy that the following day there is a meeting against Maccabi Haifa in the final of the Toto Cup.
"This is an opportunity to make amends," Maccabi Tel Aviv said last night.
"Everything looks bad at the moment, but we must not fall apart."
The club will have to decide as soon as possible which position to strengthen in the Friday foreigner and land someone.
"It is impossible to finish the purchase without another foreigner who will give us more options," said a player in the team.
The team believes that Idan Nahmias' injury is not serious.
Derek Lucassen should return to the lineup the day after tomorrow in the Toto Cup final.
