In fact, the last victory was over Slavia in the first round of the houses stage.
Since the trophy holder has not won in Europe or in the league and
Aboksis
talked about it and said: "It is very frustrating that Hapoel B'Shlosha has changed its face since the departure of Alona Barkat.
From high budget to low budget.
This team was not built to fight in both Europe and the league, players were injured in the process.
If you ask me again, then to get to places like Leverkusen, Nice, Prague, I would not replace it, despite the difficulty in the league.
When we finish the Europa League and return to the league with everyone we will be a very strong team.
The Europa League has hurt us in terms of the league, it's no secret, but it can still be improved in the league. "
The coach added: "Europe is a great success. It did us damage in the league, we had at least another 5-6 points and everything was normal. Even financially, especially after the budget was halved, it is very important that we go to Europe. We have a game every three days. We have no training, no time to recover, but I strongly believe in this team. "
Regarding the lack of Elton Accultasa, Aboksis said: "I thought he would return faster, in my opinion he will not be fit for Monday against Betar Jerusalem."

added: "When you play every three days, two or three months like a whole season then you feel like it's a few seasons. In terms of the game, we get ready, know what needs to be done and do our best to get 3 points and leave us a chance to move on."
Slavia coach
Jindrich Trapyszowski
: "The opponent's game has not changed so much, they will play defensively, we saw the video. Want to do everything to be successful. Both teams are in the same situation right now and I think the opponent will make quick attacks and tough defense. Do not want to think now if a draw Enough or not, you have to look ahead and win, play as you know how to play. "
On the possibility that a certain amount of spectators could enter the stadium, the coach added: "It will be positive, no matter if there are only a few, it is important that they encourage us. It is a support that we have been missing for so long."
