After the victory over Maccabi Netanya (0: 1), Hapoel Tel Aviv hope to get another 6 points by the start of the lower playoffs, in order to arrive with greater confidence ahead of the decisive moments. At the same time, the club know the task will not be easy and expect games against Maccabi Haifa , Hapoel B'Shlosha, Bnei Sakhnin and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
"No one thinks it will be easy for us to stay in the league, we will have to fight all the time and every game, but it depends on us," said one of the players at Hapoel, where they hope that in the next games they know how to decide as quickly as possible and not be afraid until the last minute.
In this matter, despite the victory, there are criticisms from the team that during the entire second half against Netanya the team went back and played defensively, and not for the first time this season, and only luckily did not pay dearly for it.
"We knew what a victory in Netanya meant, it's a super significant victory for us," said defender Ben Bitton, "We did not have great football, but we fought, and sometimes we just need the points. We are going to a very stressful period and we will need them all now."
The four players who were diagnosed with Corona patients this weekend: Raz Shlomo, Shai Eisen, Emanuel Boateng and Ofek Bitton, will of course miss the upcoming game against Maccabi Haifa.
