After three consecutive losses at home and for a period defined by coach Barak Bachar as a "crisis", Hapoel BH is trying to find solutions to the situation the team was in. Last night after the loss to Betar Jerusalem (1-0), owner Alona Barkat, the CEO, met Assi Mercy and Coach Barak Bachar in an attempt to understand what doesn't work professionally.

While Barakat has had allegations about what Hapoel looks like in recent times, the club has made it clear that the status of the coach is not at issue. "It is also a mental issue of self-confidence but there are some players who may not be good enough to be part of a big club and out," they said in the Negev capital.

The striker Ben Shahar who did not start in the lineup with Beitar Jerusalem was surprised by Bachar's decision. His replacement, Nigel Haslevink, was eliminated and absent from the cup game against MS Ashdod. The Hanan Maman midfielder who is not included in the roster against Betar may find himself a new team in January if there is no improvement in his professional status. Several teams in the Premier League have already looked into whether it will be possible to get a DSS release, but their high salary may be an obstacle.
