On the summary of the year: "A season of learning, a challenging season, a season where we could not reach and win titles, we were close, we almost touched - and four titles eluded us. Many players joined and learned to play in the club's ability and mentality.
" Phiben continued, "A lot of players left after exhausting themselves at the club, the team was rebuilt, and I think next year we will be much better.
If this year we were close, next year I'm sure we'll do it
. We'll talk to another coach, and you have to prove yourself again and again. "

On the weak defense this season: "There were games where we dominated, we were good and then we conceded a goal from one small opportunity to the opponent, I felt in the last year we absorbed retroactively for all the two years we did not concede. We did not do a good job as defensive players, but even when we did not absorb Ivica there were criticisms of a retreating and defensive lineup, and this season we thought offensively, we were an attractive, enterprising and aggressive team. There is a lot to work on, and there is potential. "
On the fall after the successes: "I remember a sentence that Sharan Yeni told us after a season without losses and that we were champions already in March: 'Listen, I'm glad you're having fun, but it will not last forever, remember these feelings when there are hard moments, to understand why you work hard "And what are you aiming for?"
"There was a catastrophic game at Turner, our worst game this year."

If Maccabi is no longer a "bad" team: "This year there were Krasteich and Patrick, with whom we looked less cloth boys, but do not see that anything has changed. "They are players that defensive players are afraid of ... We were not a strong team in the segment of not absorbing, and understanding that championships are taken with team defense. The locker room was good."
On the loss of points: "Our success in the big games, in the derbies and against Haifa, shows that the potential is so great, and we did not take advantage of it. The big and small games are the same three points. Maccabi Haifa in the big games were not in the top, We were - that's where they succeeded. And that hurts me. "

On the falls in the top playoffs: "I do not think that the talk about Krastich's press conference affected us. The goal in the last minute of Cherry (1: 1 against Haifa), where we felt we were doing well, is a goal that disrupted our plans. Three or four days we were broken. This one. Then there was a catastrophic game at Turner, our worst game this year. We tried, but we were not there, we were not clean in the head, it hit us. When we recovered against Beer Sheva, we were led 0: 1 and absorbed, Believe in ourselves, and I saw the energies of the players, that we do not believe.
"We came to the game knowing that if we did not win, the championship would run away from us for good," Phiben said in conclusion. "It hurts us this season, and we are the most critical of ourselves, we are athletes who want to succeed, and success is measured by titles, and we did not do that."
