Maccabi Haifa's season was full of ups and downs, but last night (Sunday) after the final whistle in the 2: 3 victory over Hapoel Beer Sheva, everything exploded. The players started with huge celebrations on the lawn and after a short while continued to Sefer Square in the city, where they spent until the wee hours of the night with thousands of fans. For the players and the professional team, this was a great opportunity to sum up the tedious and sweet season.
Charon Sherry, who was one of Haifa's players of the season, said: "It was a great season for the team and for me. It's true that in the playoffs I lifted myself. I think we deserve to be the champions because we are the best team. The game against Beer Sheva proved that we are the team The best with the best players, that we deserve to win the championship. " Of his future, Sherry said: "I will stay here for sure next season."
Rami Gershon, who did not play much but rose when the team needed him, was excited: "I believe everything is from above, I have no doubt that this is what it was. I worked hard all year and I am glad I was able to be a part of it and help the team."
On the difficult period he went through in recent years and closing the circle with winning his first degree in Israel, Gershon said: "This championship is sweeter than honey for me, probably after everything I went through here. "To prove to everyone that we are the best team and it is a fact that the best team took the championship. We were the best throughout the season and we deserved it, there is no doubt at all."

Muhammad Abu Fani added: "I have always believed and I will always believe in myself. No matter who played or who did not play, the most important thing is that we took the championship." The connection also stung Maccabi Tel Aviv over the claims that it is the best team in the country: "Obviously we are the best team, we were first place all year. We did not have to lift ourselves towards the last game. It is a championship game, who can not lift himself at all? ".
On the crowd's calls for him to stay, Abu Fani said: "It's hard to refuse the crowd. I have a contract for another year, but it's too early to talk and everything will be fine."
Jose Rodriguez, who celebrated his first championship in Israel, said: "Now you can be happy. I said all season that whoever takes a championship is the best. We deserved to win."
The league's top scorer for the second year in a row, Nikita Rokavitsia, looks happy.
"I wanted to bring this club to the top and I'm glad I did it in the end. It was a special season and we deserved to win the championship."
The Australian striker opened the season with a storm, but then suffered an injury, fell ill in Corona and lost some of his fitness - before returning to score in bundles just in time.
"I was in pain and even had a hard time walking. I'm glad I came back in time."
About his future in the team after ending a contract Rokavitsia refused to talk.

On the way to winning the Haifa Championship, she also had to go through quite a few psychological barriers. Mental coach Eitan Azaria said: "The mental side is not just in the management of one or two people, it is the work of the entire professional team. Our greatest gift as a team is that Barak Bachar gave us a free hand. Our gift in the end is this success."
Mental coach Danny Inbar added: "There is one person you do not understand what he is doing in Israeli football and that is Barak Bachar. He has a unique trait of lack of ego, inclusion, understanding people and understanding the system. I have lived this industry for many, many years, and I have never met anything like it. ".
Barak Bachar praised the whole team and also praised his assistant Guy Sarfati: "Guy played with me in Kiryat Shmona and we are good friends, but I did not take him with me because we are friends, but because he understands a lot of football and he also complements me professionally and socially. Guy is a connecting pipe "Because players love him and things go through me through him. Guy has more hours of training than me, he transfers things like head coach and for me he is the coach of Maccabi Haifa for everything."
The Frenchman himself said: "I had two offers this year from the Premier League and I chose to modestly refuse. I am a third generation family of footballers in the first league, so I know that the connection of all the team members here is exceptional. Getting up and leaving this unusual thing is not something that is done easily. Barak The kind of managers who give everyone freedom to work. If fitness coaches prepare something, then that's what they do. If Guy Wiesinger (goalkeeping coach, S.W.) wants us to stand in the sun for half an hour to work on stationary situations, then that's what they do. To break myths and do "Things like a championship after ten years, need cooperation. We also fought quite a bit, but everything is in sync and love." For being able to keep three creative players "and stars" that Cherry, Haziza and Noble said French "are good and quality and creative players. One of the great players at such a level when even there is a spare they are investors, noble,Cherry and also Haziza sometimes did not open but they see those managers put the ego aside so they say who we are that we will not run like this. This is our way of working. "French also referred to the attitude of the professional team in front of the players and among themselves:" In our team we do not whisper, tell the players and each other things as they are, even if it is not pleasant to hear things aloud. "
This is what a city that broke in a drought looks like.

Finally, Captain Neta Lavie, who recorded an impressive season, gave full credit to Bachar and his team: "Beyond professionalism, the example the professional team showed us is the one that paved the way. After Kiryat Shmona they showed us that we are strong and that even when we had some declines this year, we "Still a strong team. Body language is something that makes you understand what the message is, and their message was positive throughout the season. Before they came, no one said earlier this year that he wanted a championship. Suddenly the professional team came this season and from the first moment declared the goal is a championship."
Lavi also commented on his upgrade in attack: "I played several roles this year. The saves this year were split between midfield midfielders (Lavi, Muhammad Abu Fani and Jose Rodriguez). Everyone did their part on the pitch, it worked well."
Excited, and thrilled.

Although Lavi won a state cup with the team, it was also his first championship. "I was a kid when we took a trophy, it was my first year in adulthood. I've been through a lot since then, and every year I learned something different that prepared me for this year. I was well prepared. Today I'm much more ready than the kid who was then 19. Burnt fans of the club. Today 20 of my friends sat and sang like crazy in the northern bleachers. There are small children who grew up in Haifa and did not know what happiness is, did not know what it is when this city is shaking and it is on its feet. Haifa is not what it used to be, but we are us, and we are the happiest in the world. "
On his future at the club and the offer from CSKA Moscow, Lavi said: "I thought maybe this offer was a once-in-a-lifetime offer and I had a thought I wanted to leave, but when I returned from the conversation with Yankele and got home to my girlfriend I told her, 'I do not really want to leave, the money That's not the case compared to what we did this year.
This championship is much more than any other player. '
Since that conversation I also told the management - I do not deal with it.
There might be another offer in some situation, but I currently have a contract until 2023 and I'm fine here.
In any case, the relationship between me and the club does not depend on one contract or another.
Yankele promised to let me go if something interesting came, but I'm fine here and I have fun here and after a long time it did not happen, I arrive at Kfar Galim with a smile.
But if an offer comes from a monstrous group, then anything can happen. "
