After receiving bundles of insults from Maccabi Haifa fans, Dudu Awat defends Arik Bendo.
As mentioned, the assistant coach of Hapoel Beer Sheva was at the center of the storm yesterday (Monday) in the middle of the season at Turner Stadium, when Maccabi Haifa defender Raz Meir confronted him, and in the end also received a red card.
Maccabi Haifa accused Bendo of inciting instincts and as a result, the assistant coach received abusive messages on his private mobile device.
Bendo, who grew up in Haifa, played for the club for many years and was even the team's coach, clarified in conversations with the club's staff that, apart from a malicious apology, he does not expect to speak.
Either way, the one who stood on his hind legs to protect his good friend is former goalkeeper Dudu Awat, who is currently starring on screen in "VIP Survival."
The tough survivor posted a story on the networks in which he stated: "Football is a competitive and emotional game that everyone wants to win (regardless of what happened in the tunnel).

Awat added: "Arik Benado grew up in the youth department of Maccabi Haifa, was a dedicated captain for years and won every possible title with this huge club. Arik is one of the great symbols of Haifa and Israeli football. Dear fans, for the sake of football culture and the younger generation, we must not forget It!".
