"We knew it was going to be a tough game and we would have to squeeze ourselves in to win. We did not do it, too bad. The guys gave it our all and saw the fatigue, but it's all excuses.
With these words, tonight (Saturday) Barak Bachar summed up Maccabi Haifa's 2-0 loss to Maccabi Petah Tikva.
The Greens discovered a very weak can and with players from the end of the rotation coming in as substitutes, were unable to change the course of the game.
Following the loss, they could lose the summit if Maccabi Tel Aviv defeats Betar Jerusalem on Monday. "It seemed that we were out with the tongue," said Bachar. "The players took on a lot, looked tired and not at their normal level.
It's part of football, we won four games in a row, we lost one, we continue to the next game. "

Bachar is missing quite a few injured, sick and expelled players and Haifa finished the game with three players who last season were still in the youth: Maor Levy, Satyo Nachmani and Nehorai Yifrach.
"Soon everyone will come back and we will have more options," said the coach, "It sounds like an excuse and should not lose, but it happened in front of a good and energetic team. The championship fight? There is always pressure, it will be until the end we need to know how to lift ourselves."
Captain Neta Lavie: "Not a simple game. We were very soft and inaccurate and I was the first to do so. Too bad it happened, but we have to move on to the next game. We were a bit tired, the whole league has a lot of games, injuries and Corona. We thought we would squeeze another game until everyone came back. "Unfortunately, we did not succeed. We are strong enough to lift ourselves up."
