After the defeat tonight (Saturday) of Beitar Jerusalem 4:1 to Maccabi Netanya, the coach, Yossi Abouxis said: "Everyone is aware that we are not ready for this season, but I did not expect such terrible mistakes on our part in defense, for every mistake we paid.
The players were very stressed, I was disappointed with some players personally.
We didn't play smart, I knew it would be difficult but it's very disappointing.
We broadcast pressure from the first moment and I didn't understand why"
Aboksis continued: "Beitar's audience is the best thing that Beitar has.
Beitar's audience is ready for the league, but we are not.
We must not do nonsense like we did.
The only bright spot in this game was Asperia.
We have to get stronger and regardless of the strengthening, those who want to be in Beitar Jerusalem will have to be better, so I'm disappointed with some players today"
About possible reinforcements, Aboxis said: "Abramov said there is a budget for reinforcements. Once we are strengthened, the team will look better. We will bring in a foreign stopper and with the return of Dagni from injury, our defense will look completely different. With the addition of three to four players, we will see a change."

Benny Lam said after the victory: "It was a mediocre game for us, not a valley game and I expect much more from this team, but for an opening game and after! Netanya hasn't won in 10 years in the opening round, so I'm satisfied. Next week against Maccabi Haifa it's a different opera. For Maccabi Haifa has two teams that can take the championship and I wish them to advance to the Champions League."
About Igor Zlatanovich he said: "The wisdom is not now when he scores, but when he didn't score and they told me why you let him play, but I believed in him, he is a striker of a very high level, a striker who works all the time, a player who is a pleasure to see and to have in the team" .

Lam referred to the goals of the team and said: "You see the games of Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Tel Aviv in Europe, how much money was invested there, what players they brought, what games they have. Our goal is to take a step forward, not to reach the games at Sami Ofer and get 4, but if not Gendelman and Ohana play in the lineup, so I'm satisfied."
