Hapoel BS coach Roni Levy entered the team's locker room last night after the loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv (1: 0) and according to the players, it is clear that he took the way the team played hard in the second half.
"We were equal in goal in the first half, but then something happened. This is the first time this season that we feel that the team is not in the game," testified players in BS.
Along with these things, the capital of the Negev knew that the first loss was a matter of time and clarified: "We buy one loss in every 17 league games. We have to stop the streak against Maccabi Haifa, the significance of this game is great for the rest of the season."
Meanwhile, the Southern club still believe that with the right reinforcement in January, the team will upgrade and run to the end in the championship fight.
Portuguese midfielder Andre Martinez will land in Israel later this week and will be on the roster already in the league game against Maccabi Haifa.
Apart from Martinez, the intention is to strengthen the squad with one more player.

The name of the Bnei Sakhnin contact, Biram Kiel, is on the agenda, but the costs of bringing it in are very high.
His salary is close to NIS 100,000 a month and he has no exit clause in the contract.
Coach Roni Levy greatly appreciates Kiel and tried to add him in the summer as well.
Another name that was on the table is that of the midfielder Liran Serdel from Hapoel Haifa, but even in his case, the lack of an exit clause makes it difficult to add him.
In another matter, Portuguese defender Helder López injured his ankle last night, was replaced, and will be examined during the day.
Lopez may not play in the quarterfinals of the cup against Maccabi Netanya this coming Wednesday, in order to allow him rest and recovery ahead of next season's game in the league.
