Difficult feelings at Hapoel Nof Hagalil after tonight's (Sunday) 2-0 loss to Urbani KS, which decided the team's fate to relegate to the national league.
The players remained lying on the grass, some burst into tears, when after only one season in the Premier League, Shai Barda's players returned to the second league.
"The feelings are unpleasant," Barda said at the end, "being in such a situation is not pleasant. I arrived in January and tried to do everything but unfortunately we did not succeed."

Breda was asked if he regretted taking on the role and clarified: "I would be sorry if I did not take it upon myself. The role of the coach is also to experience something different in his career, I really did everything for the team to survive."
Asked what decided his team's fate, Barda said: "In the end it gets up and falls on a lot of things. We have young players, they had weights in their legs. A club that was not in that class had budgets, decision making, there are a lot of things but I think the club will lift itself back. "It's an amazing club that's fun to be in."

In the end, Slobodan Drapic was the one who put the stamp on his good friend's drop and Breda recounted his feelings: "I worked with Slobo for ten years. I coached a lot of time with him and it was a great privilege. There are moments going into a career alone, I expected it to be different I succeeded. I wish Slobo all the success in the world. "
