Maccabi Netanya fans were in a frenzy after the big 2: 4 victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv.
"It's football of yesteryear. We'll get 5 goals but give 6," said one fan, adding another, "We finally have a coach who lives the game, raves about the lines, that's what we needed."
The fans celebrated for long minutes with the players on the lawn and repeatedly called out the name of Bnei Lem.
There were also big celebrations in the locker room of the diamonds, because giving a quartet to Maccabi Tel Aviv is not a trivial matter.

"You do not understand how I missed such big games. I said in the locker room that this game suddenly gave me back the desire and joy," said the team brake Shir Tzedek, "the crowd gave a display. "It has connected us beyond what it has been until now. We have a lot to improve but we also have tremendous qualities and I hope it continues to connect."
On the next game against the champion Maccabi Haifa, Tzedek said: "We are a young team that has several experienced players and I am one of them. Sami Ofer needs to come prepared and ready. We will rest, recover and come to play happy, stressful and high football, achieve a good result there."
