In less than 48 hours, Beitar Jerusalem, with its troubles, will play a difficult away game against Hapoel Haifa against Sami Ofer.
The one who will stand on the lines of the group from the capital is Gal Cohen after Yossi Mizrahi asked to leave his position.
With very large amounts of snow covering every corner of Jerusalem and especially Beit Vagan, today (Thursday) the team held a training in a closed basketball hall that included fitness exercises and tactics and a game between the 3 teams to which the faculty players were divided.
At the end of training, the coach spoke to the official website and told about his preparations and expectations from the team for the 20th round of the league.
"First of all I expect us to cut off background noises, I know it's not an easy thing. We have two more days to play. I also told the players at the meeting today - if I were to ask you today for a whole month to cut off then something you can't ask for. But two days. Do a good workout tomorrow, "Come to Sami Ofer with all the meanings, put all things aside. The direction is positive, things are getting better and starting to clear up and we need to concentrate on ourselves and really go to the game with Hapoel Haifa and get the points. Just cut off background noise and concentrate on ourselves for the next two days."
Cohen was asked how to lift the players and said: "The strengthening and lifting of the team will actually come from the team itself. There are players who have gone through a lot, there is a management that works day and night to make things clearer, we get more optimistic news. We see some light at the end of the tunnel. "We - the professional team and the players should concentrate solely on the game against Hapoel Haifa, lift ourselves up and treat only ourselves. Let the management find the solutions for us, and I am confident and believe in my feelings and conversations with players that we are on our way to better places."
At the end he sounded optimistic and added: "It will be difficult, it will hurt sometimes but we will meet the goal. We have to keep this team in the league because on days like this you can understand how important Betar Jerusalem is to the league, not only to Betar fans, but to everyone."
