Weak group, tired, exhausted, apathetic, gray, off.
Probably no matter what you choose to say about Betar Jerusalem, at least that of the last two losses to Bnei Sakhnin and Maccabi Tel Aviv, the choice will be right.
At home and in the garden, they harshly criticized the players, who also yesterday (Monday) against the champion in Bloomfield seemed not committed.
"This team is clearly unbalanced. Not in the locker room and not professionally," says a Betar source. "Next season, half the team needs to be replaced here."
The team claims that the fact that no replacement for Antoine Conte arrived in January, when in addition Diego Vardska has not been dressed since the beginning of the season, has hurt the team.
"There are two less brakes and there is no replacement, so what do you want?" Betar claims, "The situation is discouraging, the players are to blame."
Coach Slobodan Drapic claimed yesterday that owner Moshe Hogg wants him and Shai Barda to stay for a long time, but people close to the club's leaders make it clear that if the team ends up in the lower playoffs - the coaches' shares will plummet and they may pay the price at the end of the season.
"We look like a catastrophe," they concluded around the club, "with all due respect to Maccabi Tel Aviv, they are neither Manchester City nor Barcelona and they dismantled us.
We can still get entangled at the bottom. "
