Immediately after the derby ended, Hapoel Tel Aviv coach Nir Klinger contacted his players, asking them to concentrate only on the next game against Hapoel Hadera, which would determine whether or not the team would be in the top playoffs this season. "The derby is already history," Klinger said.

The Reds coach, rightly so, tried to raise the morale of the players because the game on Saturday is also worth a lot of money - about NIS 4 million. The club took the defeat in the derby a little harder and said: "We have been humiliated once again, all season Maccabi can play fine and always in front of us they wake up. We are not in their league nor Maccabi Haifa."

The group went on to argue that the gate that Omer Nobles was supposed to have been disqualified on the grounds that it should not be adhered to the wall: "The first Gul was definitely illegal," Hapoel said, but despite this, Justice Liran Liani made it clear to the Reds that the Gul was legal and therefore approved. Ahead of the game on Saturday in front of her room, Nir Klinger said: "We want to have a great season after the starting point was so low and be in the top playoffs. We have to play better. We deserve to be in the top playoffs."

Ahead of the game with her room, it seems that Emmanuel Boateng may be replacing Shay Eisen, who was eliminated on a red card in the Derby, and will miss the upcoming meeting in the evening.
