State Cup Semi-Final Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Hapoel Haifa 0: 2 (Sport 1)

1. A big disappointment for Hapoel Haifa after the 2: 0 loss to Maccabi Haifa in the semi-finals of the State Cup, mainly due to the large gaps felt in the game and the fact that the team was unable to produce a single valley situation.

"We just did not show up for the game," admitted a Hapoel Haifa player, "we could not cope with their pressure. We disappointed everyone and ourselves."

Simultaneously with the league games, the red side of Haifa prepared for a month for a meeting with the city rival and the feeling in training was that it was possible to get through the semifinals, but in the moment of truth, Elisha Levy's team failed.

"We could not bring ourselves to the top in a given game, and to beat Maccabi Haifa is what is needed," the club said.

"We expected a lot more from ourselves."



Although Hapoel did express self-criticism, they also complained about the verdict after Idan Leiba listened to the VAR call and kept Alon Turgeman away for only half an hour during the match.

"Even before the game, we said it was a puzzling placement," said a source at the club.

Owner Yoav Katz, who was present at the game, spoke at the end about the feeling at the club that throughout the season they were deprived of referees' decisions.

Katz even quoted William Shakespeare's "Cement" and said in this context: "There is something rotten in the Kingdom of Denmark."

There was success in the stands.

If there is one encouraging thing that Hapoel Haifa can be encouraged about, it is the display of the crowd in the Bloomfield stands.

The "Red Heart" organization and sponsor Tzachi Almog organized a huge event that won great praise.

The club intends to learn lessons and strengthen ties with the organization, in order to bring larger amounts of spectators to the home games.

"It's true that we did not succeed professionally, but we did make an achievement in terms of the audience. We really wanted to make them happy and we made a big mistake."



3. Now, after failing to stay out of the top playoffs in the league and being relegated from the Cup, the Reds-Blacks will start planning for next season.

Yoav Katz is under heavy pressure to end his contract with Elisha Levy and appoint a new coach.

The owner greatly appreciates Levy, and even said at the end of the game: "He is the best coach I have seen so far."

However, Katz refused to commit to the coach continuing in his position.



Levy himself is disappointed with many things that have happened throughout the season and has already expressed outrage at the statements of sponsor Tzachi Nakash against him, and in the expected conversation between him and Katz the coach is expected to express his disappointment and point out the things he demands to change in case it is decided to keep him.

Disappointed by many things.

If there is a change on the lines, Hapoel Haifa will try to sign Slobodan Drapic or Marco Belbul.

Also in the player segment, the club will start working on contract extensions when the desire is to keep Liran Serdel.

The midfielder, who ends his contract and finished the season early following an injury, recorded a very good season personally.

In addition, in Haifa they will have to make a decision regarding the exercise of the options on Alan Ozbolt and Izochuko Anthony, with regard to the latter it is estimated that the option will be exercised.
