Great concern at Hapoel Haifa due to the team's ability in recent weeks.
Owner Yoav Katz was furious yesterday (Saturday) after the home loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv (2: 0) and came with complaints to coach Elisha Levy and the players: "How did we lose to a youth team like that?" He wondered in conversations with his men.
Yesterday's loss undermined Levy's status, although Katz is not expected to make a change in the coach's position before the cup game against Hapoel Umm al-Fahm on Tuesday.
The assessment in Haifa is that despite the noises that currently exist in the club around the position of the coach, Katz will give another opportunity in the next league game against Maccabi Petah Tikva.
Alon Turgeman vs. Hapoel Tel Aviv.
An additional loss will further increase the level of stress and may lead to the dismissal of the coach.
Alongside these things, Elisha Levy's entourage understands the background noises.
"The team is in sixth place and not at the bottom," said around the coach, "the locker room is healthy, there are no players against the coach and vice versa. It was a crazy month of injuries, a Corona blow that befell the team, time should be given to reconnect everything."
At the same time, Elisha Levy also did not like his team's ability in yesterday's loss.
"Players were given an opportunity and did not take it," they said in Haifa.
Striker Alon Turgeman, started in the squad after a conversation with Elisha Levy on the day of the game.
Turgeman, returning from a prolonged injury to the back thigh muscle, asked to play and was answered in the affirmative.
At the same time, the king of the team's goals did not help Haifa conquer against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
