Maccabi Haifa once again proved great maturity tonight (Monday) when they managed to defeat MS Ashdod 0: 3 in a difficult away game against the surprise of the season.
Noble Omar, who arrived in January, currently looks like the hottest man among the Greens and scored a double when Yuval Ashkenazi added another goal after a long period of not finding the net.
"We came prepared, alert and aggressive. We saw a powerful and bad team, in the good sense of the word," Haifa coach Barak Bachar said at the end.
"We knew that Ashdod would come to play and attack, and the goal was to press. They are always dangerous and create situations and today I do not remember them creating situations. There were some meetings, general and professional. It is true to speak now in retrospect, Confidence that we won, even though it was difficult and we were in the red. "
Bachar added: "It's a matter of a coach's feeling why it's right for every game, and playing against Ashdod at home is not like another game, and we practiced the method accordingly, and I'm glad it worked. We need all the players, all the substitutes. Noble? He's excellent "And beyond the exiles, he works and presses and does good things. We have a deep and long staff, you can make changes and adjust methods, Rodriguez was also missing and I'm glad it worked. There is a good staff."
Ashdod coach Ran Ben Shimon analyzed from his side and said: "They started 100 percent, we are 60-70. Instead of going for a burst at first, we got a goal on the other side. We were less good, had less energy and we lost rightly. I will not use excuses, Once we got on with those 11 we had to take full responsibility. There were very borderline players about the game and they decided to play. The pace was accordingly, he did not match this game, and that's something that usually does not happen to us. The penalty could change momentum, but Maccabi Haifa "She was better and won just right. Our motto is to go forward with all our might, sometimes it is more successful and sometimes less. We will come like this in every game, in every game we want to win."
