"If we don't wake up in Maccabi Tel Aviv we will be crushed in the derby," one of the Hapoel Tel Aviv players was defeated by Hapoel Haifa yesterday (Sunday), and the Reds appear to have failed to recover from the impasse in the National Cup. 

Hapoel was criticized for the defense squad that was no longer functioning, with the attempt to team Marvin Pearson as a brake on the side of captain Oral Degani, something that had already been tried before, was once again proved to be a mistake. There were also some in the group who wondered how Michael Olahha again gets credit in the lineup when he doesn't hit the games. 

Coach Nir Klinger regrets the defeat suffered by the team, saying: "Five games in two weeks is tough, we must not forget that the players are just human beings. Fatigue has led to a lot of mistakes and this was a deciding factor in this game. We said we will go with them at this time, we want the future Of the worker will be strong and continue this way. After three months of lag, it is not easy to play so many games in a short period of time and you have to get it "

The coach added: "I don't make any allegations to the players, I can understand their difficulty. We now have six days to recover for the derby, which is something we haven't had since returning to the game as best we can."

Defender Iyad Abu Abid addressed the loss yesterday, saying: "We were disappointed with the game because we really hoped to make a good game and get a win. We did not go today and the fatigue was felt for everyone. We have an important game on Saturday and we will have to quickly forget about that loss." Incidentally, if something unexpected happens, Abu Abid may not continue in the team next season, as his contract ends and the Reds have not exercised the option they had on him.
