Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Betar Jerusalem 0: 4 (Eighth Cup Final) (Sports 1)

1.

The first half yesterday (Wednesday) in Haifa was another low point for Betar Jerusalem, and there were quite a few of them this season. At the end of the game in which the team was defeated 4-0, Ohana entered the locker room and told the players: will help. We are in a difficult time, the games against Ashdod and Maccabi Haifa were extremely bad, it is easiest to tell stories and use excuses for the situation of the team, but let everyone look at themselves. With all the problems, our situation at the bottom is not yet a catastrophe, we are being pursued and not the other way around. Already on Sunday against Kiryat Shmona, everyone needs to reset themselves and get this club back on track. "If anyone does not want to be here, he can come to me and I will take care of it."

Yossi Mizrahi commented to the players in the half and said: "Be careful not to get excited about going upstairs, attacking and abandoning. We will not get 7 or 8 here." At the end, the coach also looks like one who changes phase, an atmosphere of anguish and on the verge of despair he turns the situation around and tries to convey something different to the players, or as one of the club members said: "Ohana and Yossi Mizrahi explode from the players. "He would get beaten up in the locker room for his attitude. But now we have to put everything aside and convey positivity and strength, fight with what is there, not terrible even if they throw a player or two who do a favor."

The biggest anger at the club is over Marco Jankovic, who according to club officials fled the game, and not for the first time.

Jankovic was replaced against Ashdod who is angry, since he only managed to do a release training and already in the warm-up of the training yesterday he abandoned and complained about the groin.

The club will wait for Yitzhak Junger's decisions regarding the following actions, but in any case say: "Janko is the problem because he is a leading player with the highest salary in the team. When he behaves like this, he does not count the club, quarrels with players "It's time to dump her and move on."

There is also a big disappointment from Edwin Jesse and his representatives have already been asked to look for a team, but at the moment no team is willing to pay his salary until the end of the season.

Yossi Mizrahi received a lot of criticism for Liel Deri's participation in such a difficult game, but it turns out that he did not have too many choices.

In the concluding training session, Roy Herman complained that he was not feeling well and before the game he complained of dizziness and severe headaches.

It was initially decided that Herman would not be on the roster, but he was nonetheless asked to dress in case of an emergency.

The second option, Uziel Pardo, makes faces when he is combined as a defender and the coach decided to go for a player who really wants the opportunity, but it did not work out.

Regardless, they say in Betar: "It's easy to drop on the defender, but has anyone seen how many players here played in the first half hour as if they were in the warm-up?".

The bet on him did not succeed.

Aviel Zargari did not prepare with the team.

He has lost confidence, he is still a young player, but still if he has any ambitions in his career, there are elements that a back-to-back tie must bring to the game in any situation.

Aggression, heart, nerves in a situation like yesterday, energies of madness, a desire to help the club that grew up in it.

This is the AB of his role on the field.

If he is unable to bring it up in the current situation, he can not contribute to Betar Jerusalem and he should not play just because his name is Aviel Zargari, there are hungrier players.

Not enough "hunger".

Regarding the economic situation, if on Tuesday they said in Betar that there is still no written offer from the French businessman who was interested in the purchase, now they are talking about trying to reach a basic memorandum of understanding in order to advance the negotiations.

In any case, all this even before a possible due diligence and advanced mode of replacing drafts, so that things will take time.

In any case, the Frenchman will not transfer money to Celebrate or Betar unless there is a deal. As for the American acquisition group, it seems they have got cold feet and will not advance the negotiations.

A source close to the details said: "In all likelihood, there will be no money flowing to the team in the current transfer window, we need to move forward and find solutions.
