"We woke up and played well after the first goal, but you can not always rely only on Shtakos," said Hapoel Tel Aviv, which defeated MS Ashdod 1: 2 yesterday (Saturday) in the opening round, but its ability was not good. , And had it not been for the number of saves by the Lithuanian goalkeeper, the story would have been completely different.
Hapoel is disappointed with the ability of striker Lucio, who is currently very far from meeting expectations from him.
On the other hand, his Brazilian friend, Farley Rosa, who came in as a substitute in the second half and was a partner in the change in the team’s ability, received compliments from the professional team for his ability.
The future of defender Danny Gruper, who was with a foot and a half out of the team, in light of his refusal to renew a contract and his desire to move to Europe, will be decided in the coming days.
The dream of transfers in most European leagues will close in the middle of the week so his options to sell are starting to shrink.

Hapoel claim that if Gruper does not find a team willing to pay his release clause they will resume talks with him: "We really want Gruper to stay, but he will have to sign a new contract to play," the club said.
In the context of Gruper, the Reds want the player's new contract, assuming he does not eventually leave for Europe, his new release clause will be between one million and one and a half million euros, after the current stands at $ 450,000, and it is unclear whether those around him will agree to such a demand.
