Adv.
Idan Goldenberg
, representing Hapoel Haifa: "We reached this plea agreement with a not easy heart.
This is a game hosted by Maccabi Haifa, and it was responsible for the safety of the players.
We saw unpleasant plays at the end of the game, and they are the result of a deliberate provocation that was joined by dozens of people who were in the stadium, and most of them were officials or incumbents at Maccabi Haifa and the result was a major attack on Hapoel Haifa players.
"The actions taken by the defendants were in self-defense and defense of each other. That too should not have happened and we are Egyptian about the situation, but if the security people had done their job, and if the judges had managed to prevent it, I want to believe we would not be here today I am aware of your decision from today regarding the punishments given to Maccabi Haifa and who on their behalf and I want to address the defendants here. First of all, the offenses of Eden Ben Best and Dor Malul were minor and less valuable. "Alon Turgeman tried to help him and removed the general manager of Maccabi Haifa, Assaf Ben Dov, and it ended in the fall of the general manager, but not through Turgeman's fault."
