A day after the critical red that he snatched in the Tel Aviv derby between Maccabi and Hapoel, the Reds' midfielder Shai Elias responded to the incident in a post that he personally posted on his Instagram account.
“It is a huge privilege to grow up and play in a place that you have been a fan of since childhood, to receive sympathy and love at every moment since I became an adult and for that I cherish gratitude and appreciation every day I come to the training complex and every minute on the grass.
Today is a different day, a particularly difficult day.
"I made a mistake, I did something I should not have done to say the least, nonsense that cost me and the team dearly," Elias wrote.
“I am the last to look for excuses and know that even before all the curses and criticisms, the responsibility is mine.
I apologize from the bottom of my heart from everyone who cares about Hapoel Tel Aviv, to everyone who believed in me and I disappointed him, management, professional staff, players and of course you the fans.
I do not criticize anyone and do not ask for compassion or mercy and as I have always known to receive great love from you I also humbly accept the justified criticisms.
It happened, it hurts and it breaks my heart every minute. "
“I have another task that did not exist until yesterday and that is to atone for this act, assuring you that I will do everything for it to happen.
Only the verb ”.
