Comments with me Schechter after Hapoel Beer Sheva's victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv (Sport1)

"The woman is back, so the panic went down," Schechter updated with me on Thursday afternoon when we started talking.

Anyone who followed him on Instagram saw that last week, he was left alone with his four children because his wife took off abroad. “It was not easy alone, but passed.

I got help from my parents.

Not easy alone without the woman. "

Despite moving to Hapoel Beer Sheva, he received permission to stay in Rishon Lezion. So it was difficult for him to cut off the family, especially since his wife has a business in Beer Yaakov.

He was one of the first to sign for the new Hapoel Beer Sheva in the summer of 2021. He closed in June and did not wait for more offers, nor for the possibility that Maccabi Tel Aviv will regret and realize that it is wrong when it loses it.

In Be'er Sheva, he closed all the big clubs in Israeli football.

If you also add Maccabi Netanya, which was once an empire, then Schechter played in all the major leagues in the country.

His contribution to the locker room should not be expanded, not even on the leadership, the wineries and the squeezing of penalties, but Schechter gave in the first third of the league also output on the field, even if it was not always expressed in numbers.

Even without holding on to the statistics of the excellent Ramsey Spori, he had a cool third.

Hapoel Beer Sheva fears a surprise, but the key players will get a rest in the cup

To the full article

"We showed a lot of maturity in that third."

"Maccabi Haifa? Except for their first half hour in every game, I don't think they or other teams in the league dance every game. We are an excellent defensive team that needs to get better in the offensive part but the team here has built something great."

You enter the State Cup tonight, but you left a huge impression after the first third. It could have been completely different after you were ousted in front of Anorthosis Famagusta in the summer and the whole card building that was built threatened to collapse.

"Unequivocally. We had a goal in the summer to get to the Conference League and the draw was definitely reasonable including anorthosis. The first game at home had to end in our win but we did not.

. We managed to lift ourselves up because we told ourselves that the league here is the most important for the fans. "

"You're right, but to her credit it did not make us feel bad. She went into the locker room already in Larnaca and encouraged the players. She told us: 'From here we go out together to another place.' The pressure. We drove to Teddy knowing that a victory would give us deterrence to continue. "

"That too but there were other nodes where we showed the mental resilience of a good and healthy team with a supportive bench. We also got Nikita who gave us more strength but like I said there were more games that gave a lot of faith. Two goals. If it is to lose in the Toto Cup final but to know how to come after it against Maccabi Tel Aviv and show strength and win. And after that go to Sami Ofer, be behind against Maccabi Haifa and also with a red card and still win. There is a lot to improve, including minutes during a game in which we have to lift ourselves. "

"I do not like to talk about myself. I know what I am contributing. My character is to come precisely when it is difficult and help. That is what I always bring."

"I can understand fans who want to see football better. Can also understand media people. But we as players need to know how to win even in less good games because victories give confidence to everyone."

"Except for their first half hour in every game, I don't think they or other teams in the league dance every game. We are an excellent defensive team that needs to get better in the offensive part but the team here has built something great. The professional team has also been rebuilt here. "But come on, this is just the beginning of the season. There is still a long way to go."

"Anyone who knows me knows that I have no such thing as allowed to lose. Nowhere was I even in children familiar with the concept of allowed to lose a game. So whoever talked about me this simple. It's just a delusion to say I get a loss. Happily we got through it very quickly."

Last week Mitch Goldhaar held a press conference. Maccabi Tel Aviv fans bombarded the journalists with questions and asked Goldhar to answer them. A considerable part was on Schechter. The fans in yellow are unable to make the decision to release Schechter after three years at Maccabi Tel Aviv in which he was a full partner in two championships and the state cup.

"I had three amazing years there. I enjoyed every moment even though the beginning was a bit difficult because I was identified with other places. Why am I not there? In my opinion Patrick did not want me to stay at Maccabi Tel Aviv and the management was part of it. It was a combination. Coach with other people in management "As soon as I saw that things did not work out with Maccabi, I was very happy to sign with Hapoel Beer Sheva."

"I do not know if I am disappointed because I do not know what his impact was on the decision. Maybe he should have done more to keep me going."

"As soon as I realized that Be'er Sheva was in the picture and Maccabi did not want enough, I decided that I was going all out on Be'er Sheva. My father was one of my agents.

"It was unpleasant because those who know me know that I have no such thing as allowed to lose. Nowhere that I was even in children do not know the concept that it is allowed to lose a game. So whoever talked about me is this simple. It's just a delusion to say I get a loss. "Very quickly because after that came the victories over Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa and everyone forgot about it."

"We like to tie them together and compare them, but it's not right to do. Both are different players. By the way, Omar also had a hard time at first at Maccabi Haifa. Dor takes a little longer and the style today in the team is a little different for him Well. I believe with all my heart that the generation of Micah will return to be the generation of Micah very soon. There is no doubt that Ramzi's success and the fact that he is making such a great season hurts Micah as well. "The X Factor in three months. Hapoel Beer Sheva will need them all later."

"" It's a little funny. I make a career of over 100 goals in every influential game, but talk all the time about the locker room. What is the dressing room? This is the group itself "

Who surprised you at Hapoel Beer Sheva this season?

"Miguel Vitor. I went through a lot in football, but there are not many players like Miguel Vitor. He surprised me because he went through quite a few things and suffered one not-so-simple injury but then I saw a man and an exceptional player. I think Miguel could have been quiet in the best leagues in Europe It's not just what he brings. It's the personality, the character, the passion. Miguel gives strength to the whole team. It's the greatest foreigner of Hapoel Beer Sheva of all time. I remember playing against him when I was in Betar Jerusalem and he was at his peak. He returned this season for that period. I talk about it too much. Just to be healthy. Everywhere in my career I take one like that. "

" Great definition. I'm in love with sporting

Vitor. "

"There is no doubt that Hapoel Beer Sheva has a veteran group that brings a lot. A group that wants very much to succeed but as a team. I feel that at Hapoel Beer Sheva everyone is starting to find their place and there is a hierarchy. It is to Roni and his team's credit. "If we come to every game as if it is the end of the world, it will not be good. I enjoy coming to training and in places where I did not enjoy coming to training, it also affected the game."

"Lior Rapalov has been a friend of mine for years. He's in his corner in Belgium and does not speak. He's making a huge career. I drove in the car and saw he won again so when I stopped I wrote something. I think there is no age connection. "He wants to join the team. If he is good, he should be invited."

"It's a little funny. I make a career of over 100 goals in every influential game, but talk all the time about the locker room. What is the locker room? This is the team itself. As good as the locker room is good and healthy, you will have the strength to succeed. "There will be no good. A healthy dressing room is that everyone can look each other in the eye with a lot of respect and appreciation. Family. Even if you shout at each other, you still know how to guard against ego. Ego is the biggest enemy of the dressing room."

"Funny everyone. I want a healthy dressing room."

"Sometimes I also shed tears even though it's hard to break me from football. Sometimes I get kicked out and insulted but it's hard to hurt me. I'm strong. "The girl Lian. A boycott of another boy hurts a lot."

"A lot thanks to the strangers. There are rare strangers here. Take Davida Petrucci. In the last game he did not come in even in the fifth substitution. He came at the end and smiled. Happy with everyone. Hands shook. Entered the locker room and said goodbye to everyone. In training after that he came and trained "Like big. I told Aliniv Barda that they hit a bull with the character of the strangers."

"We are only after a third and I do not know what will happen next but at the moment it looks almost perfect. There are about seven players in Be'er Sheva who live close to each other in rent with the women and families and that's great."

"In football there are rules. If the referee was close and saw that they failed me, then it is Pendel. To come on me and make wars and over them because it is with me Schechter? After all, if it was another player, no one would tweet" (Photo: Danny Maron)

"If I had kicked my penalties, I would have been with another 40 goals in my career. Then my added value would have been even greater. But I'm not a pig. What I got was good. I kicked a little of the penalties I squeezed. I'm not a perfect penalist.

This whole interview that Schechter does in a hoarse voice. "I shouted a lot at training games this week so I got hoarse," he explained. The interviews with him are always interesting, but the hallmark of them is that Schechter is always relaxed, smiling and kind. One of the only times in his career that he was nervous when speaking in front of a camera was after the last penalty he squeezed, drew reactions and questions that hinted that he was a hit in the referee.

"I do not know if I was angry but if you noticed something, maybe you are right. In football there are rules. If the referee was close and saw that they failed me, then it is Pendel. I would not tweet. I admit I squeeze a lot of penalties. I know how to get into tackles and clashes in the extension area. Defensive players may not know how to deal with my ability to put myself in the right place. If the referee whistled for a penalty, "Pendel? The judges in the country have been whistling at me less in recent years and I do not complain. I accept everything they decide and do not complain."

"I'm proud of what I did. I enjoy my way in football. In most clubs I would know what I contributed to. The crowds usually appreciated me very much."

"I just talked about it with my younger brother Anar and told him that if I had kicked my penalties, I would have been with another 40 goals in my career. Then my added value was even greater. But I'm not a pig. What I got was good. I kicked a little of the penalties I squeezed. I did not. "A perfect penalty kick. The three points are more important to me, so I prefer someone who kicks a penalty better than me to take the ball from the penalty spot."

"I think that everywhere, perhaps except Maccabi Haifa, I left people who would say I was one of their best. On the day I retire I will say that I enjoyed every moment" (Photo: Liron Moldovan)

"I played in Germany, England and France. In the Israeli national team. Someone told me this week that I am the active player with the most games and the most goals at the same time, so probably my way is right"

You often upload pictures from the synagogue. Where does it come from?

"I grew up in a house where my father was wearing a crocheted cap. I grew up as a religious child. Everything that happens to us for better or worse should be known to accept. There are those who go to psychologists. I go to good prayer.

"Kiddush Hashem. I feel a kind of mission. Every time I upload a picture, I get full of messages from people writing to me that I reminded them to go to synagogue and it does me good. People send me pictures back that they put on tefillin and it gives me strength."

"I am identified with the Creator of the world and that is the most important thing to me."

"I think my way is right. I played in all the big clubs in the country. I played in Germany, England and France. In the Israeli team. Someone told me this week that I am the active player with the most games and the most goals at the same time, so probably my way is right. "A certain place. I think that everywhere, maybe except Maccabi Haifa, I left people who would say I was one of their best. On the day I retire I will say that I enjoyed every moment. I wish my son and every footballer to do the way I did."

Is there a plan for the day after the game?

"I really like football and would like to stay in this profession. From the age of 18 nothing has changed. I have been under so much pressure for years what that team does and what it does. I am constantly in pursuit of other teams apart from my team."

"I really like the grass. Be a part of the training. Let's see where things go."

"I will be a good professional. I do not know exactly in what position."
