Speaking of the roller coaster that a coach in Israeli football goes through, the season of Yossi Aboksis is the mirror for that.

Bad half season with Bnei Yehuda in the national league, beyond Betar Jerusalem when it is defined as the weakest team in the league, reconnection of the team, staying in the league three rounds to finish, comeback and renewed credit from the crowd in yellow and black and mutual desire of both sides to continue the contract in the coming years



. "For the first time I felt the vibes, the truth is that it was very exciting," said Aboksis.

It was very exciting to get to the complex, to return to Betar, to see the people, especially Meir Harush who is my friend, Eli Ohana who we played together, I am glad that every day I came and played the audience also connected with me more and more and it was great fun. "

"I felt the vibes at home and in the garden."

There was an audience that received you less, if it did not go, it could be very bad



"Wherever the audience does not go against the owner, coach, players, I always take everything into account. In football you have to know how to deal with such moments, I am experienced enough in these moments ".



Barak Abramov is disconnecting from Bnei Yehuda these days, make us order.

What's going on there?



"In my time the results were not good, we made some mistakes this year in certain players we brought, especially in the level of human material that were bad for the system. We started the season very badly, then we managed to recover and reach first place, including a cup victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv. "Two bad weeks and I felt once again the system does not believe in my way, it's not everyone, Abramov for example did believe in my way but I felt the system was not with me. I did not enjoy, I felt that the audience wanted me to leave, there was no good connection with the players."



"Then the offer came from Betar Jerusalem and when you feel that the people in Bnei Yehuda do not want you, I made the decision.

Bnei Yehuda was 5 differences from the aliyah and played less, but I felt very bad energies and as soon as the offer came straight away I agreed to it.

Although I have a contract I will not return to Bnei Yehuda, me and Barak Abramov are friends and we will get on with the contract, we will find solutions, our companies are above all and we will know what to do. "



Are you disappointed with players you gave them the reins?



"I do not want to talk about players personally. We made mistakes with some players, there were players we were sure we were relegated to and from the Premier League and they will be good and leading and it did not happen. In the end I chose them and the responsibility is on me. And a game is missing. But all the energies around were bad and had to be parted. It's important for me to note that there are Bnei Yehuda fans who say I ran away but it's really not true, the whole crowd also wanted me to leave, the crowd thought I was Bnei Yehuda's problem and that's okay, I have no complaints, That is their right. Betar was a lifeline for me no less than I am for her. "

"I have a contract but I will not return to Bnei Yehuda."

How did you feel about Betar when you came to it?



”Beyond the professional depression of the results, the whole matter of the 25% cut did not give quiet.

Once Eli Ohana made a call to the players and explained to them that it was just a cut and they would get the money in the future it had a huge impact.

To the credit of the players that from the moment Eli made this call to them you have not once heard a comment about the cut.

It is not pleasant for anyone who is being cut down on money, there were some players at first that it was not easy for them but after this conversation everyone put it aside and concentrated on staying in the league.

There is a good locker room and as soon as I saw it I knew that there was someone to go to war with even when the results were not good. "



Many of those close to you told you that it was suicide to get to Betar in her condition.



"When I arrived, three foreigners also left and we did not add any player other than Dan Azaria and after that we brought back Kamso Mara. But there is talent. "When they were absent, knots played as brakes and it hurt the team. There is a fine staff, not catastrophic as everyone said, I believed in him, I would not have come if I did not believe."



Although you brought change, in the beginning it was not reflected in the results and you were under a lot of pressure.

After the draw against Hapoel Haifa outside, you told the people that you are not sleeping at night from the situation.



"There was a situation in this game, Shua was also with the Yellows, Boachi was also injured, Plater was not 100% qualified and Michael Ohana could not finish 90 minutes. In the first half we were good, in the second half Michael and Plater were out and we were bad. "Especially after the loss to Maccabi Haifa where we were good, I told the players that if we continue with this ability, there is no film that will not bring victories and make good results, it will be balanced, from this game we started to bring points."

"Michael is training exceptionally well. He has made a big change" (Photo: Danny Maron)

You always say you want to stay and be a good team.

Could the situation next season be a survival of another season, maybe with minus 12, would you like to stay in such a situation?



"If there is a minus 12 but a good team you can handle, it's one thing and if it's a minus 9 or 12 with a team of youth players you have no chance at all of surviving. A good and strong team that can score points is something else and I want to be a part of it and help Betar.

The name Betar Jerusalem, the media, the audience, the threshold of expectations is never realistic. No one refers to the fact that you are in survival, you always want successes regardless of reality and staff, but as long as the direction is good and healthy I will be happy to help Betar and raise it Together with the audience and the support of everyone. "



You have a good connection with Michael Ohana, who has not found himself since arriving in Betar



"When you are outside you know the player less, you hear an injured player, you hear things about him, I see him training exceptionally. The fact that he was injured over the last few years has taken him out of rhythm and it is difficult for him to play 90 minutes. But there are players who prefer the 60s. "Their good minutes are for those who will give a mediocre 90 minutes. Michael really made the last third outstanding and he is a significant player that I really enjoyed, both in character, also in how he trains, also in how he makes defense, extracting balls in training and games, he made a big change."

"There is no film that Betar will ignore from the map" (Photo: Danny Maron)

Is there a fear that Betar will disappear from the map?



"There is no such film.

People do not understand what Betar Jerusalem is, it is no longer a club and it is not a slogan. I see the amount of fans, the amount of media and interest around it, how much joy and noise produces one victory. There is no film that will not be a team "The way to get her back to the top of football. In every game you feel like a home game, no matter where you play



. Over the years when I was a Betar player, I had a lot of friends that I got back in touch with. Even within my family there are Betar fans and everyone suddenly came back and that is something very exciting.

Everyone wants this club to succeed. "



Did you expect to receive an offer to coach the team?



"No, I was not a candidate after my bad year at Bnei Yehuda, I do not think I should have been a candidate. Alon Hazan deserves a proper appointment, Yossi Benyon as a professional manager deserves a proper appointment and I wish them success. By and large I never think we should look at a coach's last year But I am not one of those who will cry, we need to know how to respect decisions, my time on the team will come, we will all be there for the success of the team. "



You have been through a roller coaster in recent years.

Success with Bnei Yehuda, the home stage and a cup with Beer Sheva, a team on the agenda and suddenly you needed Betar to save you.



"It's a very cruel profession. I was in Be'er Sheva and made a decision to leave on my own initiative, to say it was a smart decision? No, there were too many factors that turned me on to Hapoel Be'er Sheva at the level of deciding to leave. It was a mistake for me, Pleasant Hapoel Beer Sheva. I also made a mistake in this matter, I did not have to speak during this period. Sources close to Beer Sheva managed to get me to leave and it was a mistake, also to get to Bnei Yehuda in this situation. You need to know in football, even when you make mistakes, From this situation. "



What do insiders say?

You felt they did not want you further so you chose to leave?



"True, people close to Alona Barkat managed to make me think she did not want me for next season and that's why I made the decision. Whether you want me or not, but it was my wrong decision and it's part of my career, making decisions. "

"It was a mistake to leave Hapoel Beer Sheva" (Photo: Liron Moldovan)

In Be'er Sheva you had an excellent connection with Joshua, players keep telling that it is difficult to contain him in the locker room, which is very difficult next to him.



"Yesterday I talked to him, we are in good contact. He is one of the best players I coached, he is a guy with crazy emotions in training and playing and you have to know how to handle such players. He was very significant in qualifying for the home stage and winning the cup In one year we brought a trophy and a home stage with a very, very low budget. People need to understand that I coached Hapoel Beer Sheva, but not the real Hapoel Beer Sheva. "We cut everyone and some left. It was very difficult to make these achievements out of this situation and we did it."
