After a stormy weekend, Hapoel Jerusalem held its first training session tonight (Saturday) under Yonatan Alon, who will replace Dainius Adomitis as the team's head coach until the end of the season.
Alon, who has worked in recent years as an assistant coach on the team, is now getting the first chance of his career as head coach in the Premier League.
On Friday, he sat down with CEO Guy Harel and Sports Director Yotam Halperin, and before returning a positive answer, he called Adomitis and asked him for the blessing of the road. The Lithuanian of course confirmed and wished him success.
Owner Eyal Chomsky said after training: "We are going through a very difficult period, and all this season we are constantly trying to change, to think outside the box within the team what we can do to make the team look better. The team has a mentally low breaking point, but we do not give up "We are constantly fighting. We have made very significant changes in the position of the coach, we hope and pray that this move will succeed. We think Jonathan Alon deserves the opportunity he gets."
The owner also sent a message to the fans: "I look at you in the eyes of Hapoel Jerusalem fans, we are going through a difficult time and need you with us, Hapoel Jerusalem is like a child who stumbles, we need you in the stands, supporters.
These are the moments of the true verb for both good and evil.
We come with all our might to give head and win.
Come on hapoel".
"I do not know how to point to one thing because a lot of things have happened here," the owner added, trying to analyze the problems, "injuries, external things and things related to us as a system, one thing is clear to us that we have a very difficult mental breakdown problem.
I think the players want but it does not come out.
As soon as we go out for a few minutes while the other teams press the gas, we break up. '
At the end, Chomsky referred to the goals for the end of the season: "Hapoel Jerusalem is a team with the highest level of expectations, since in fact Uri Alon and I acquired our team, it is a mentality not to lose.
At the moment it does not work for us, we make a lot of attempts, we see that something is not working.
We had a critical moment with the departure of Oded, a lot of things have happened to us, bottom line so far we are not succeeding.
Blaming each other right now is not the right thing to do. '
