Ben Haim added: "We also have a tough game in the State Cup on Tuesday in Kiryat Shmona, but I'm sure the loss in Haifa will go with every player for many years to come. Fans have a tendency to think theirs harder and I fully understand them, but I can not think of "A situation that is more difficult for someone than for the players. We have to put the difficulty aside and get to the game against Be'er Sheva and show that no team can be a favorite with us at home."
On Hapoel Beer Sheva, Ben Haim said: "She is having a monstrous season, but we will come prepared and respect her as we respect any team in order to win."
"We have a good staff and enough players."

Coach Mladen Krestajic added: "We analyzed the game against Haifa, we have two more days until the next game and we are doing everything to lift the team. It is clear that it is difficult to return after such a game, it is difficult for us and the team, but we must learn from the last game. And all of us, the team and the players, must understand that we are in a big club with a lot of responsibility. We have to do our best already in the next game and show the fans, including in Israel, that we are back on track and do our best to win. That they can trust us. "
On the staff situation, the Serb said: "We have some problems, not only because of training or injuries but also the flu. There are a number of players with minor muscle injuries, but we have to deal with it. It is normal, we have a good staff and enough players. What matters is We have enough players and we are doing everything to prepare in the best way. "
