Maccabi Tel Aviv players: "This draw is harder than the 3: 2 loss in Haifa"
The Yellows had a hard time digesting the dramatic equalizer that prevented them from winning the championship, and fear: "It will greatly hurt the adrenaline and morale a week ago of Beer Sheva."
Along with the compliments on Gluch's inclusion, Krasteich was also criticized and concluded with disappointment: "It was our best game this season."

Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Maccabi Haifa 1: 1 (Sport 1)
Disappointment and frustration at Maccabi Tel Aviv after Maccabi Haifa's equalizer last night (Monday) in Bloomfield, which prevented Mladen Krastić and his players from winning and three points.
Long minutes after the game, players were still sitting in the locker room and could not find the strength to enter the shower.
"This is a draw that is worse than a loss. This is a draw that you follow home more frustrated than it was in Haifa in the last game," one of the Maccabi Tel Aviv players later explained.
"The victory was already in our hands and the fact that in the end you absorb such an annoying equalizer, it's frustrating and painful."
Coach Mladen Krestajic said an hour after the game ended: "It was our best game this season. Maccabi Haifa is a strong and talented team, but we proved that Maccabi Tel Aviv is also a very strong team. I have no complaints to any of my players. When I felt players did not give of themselves as against Sakhnin "I did not hide my criticism from Juvanovic and hacking, but after a game like that I have nothing to say even they missed a lot. Juvanovic and hacking also did a lot of defense and helped the whole team, so it is natural that in attack they will be more tired and will miss."

Last night's draw is Maccabi Tel Aviv's third since the start of the playoffs and it maintains a status quo at the top, which adds another layer to Maccabi Tel Aviv's sense of failure.
"We wanted the three points to get momentum ahead of Beer Sheva week," Maccabi Tel Aviv said last night.
"Even if we won, no one deceives themselves that it would have been possible to close such a big gap from Maccabi Haifa with only seven games left, but a victory would have put us in a much better atmosphere and we would go to Turner on Sunday in the league with an uplifted mood. "The National Cup final next Wednesday. This equality goal of Cherry's has hit everyone's adrenaline towards what awaits us."
On the eve of yesterday's game, it was clear that the four games that await Maccabi Tel Aviv will decide the future of Krestic.
Although Maccabi Tel Aviv did not win last night, this game was also credited to the Serb, but also to his duty.
On the one hand he prepared the players well for the game and earned Oscar Gluch a brave decision to throw him into the starting lineup in such a big game.
On the other hand, last night there was some criticism of Krasteich because some of the exchanges he made last night were not good enough and led to Maccabi Tel Aviv being very pressured in the last minutes.
