concluded: "The second halves? This is due to the matter of physical fitness, we have the best team here. It is due to the mental matter, a team that knows how to come back from behind in the Champions League and in the league. We knew it was a good and tough opponent that pressed. And also the professional matter. We tried things at the beginning , in the second half we went back to basics and the substitutions helped win the game."

On Omar Atzili, who scored a hat trick and scored: "Every player wants to prove himself, even though he is after a great season. He gave perhaps the most important score in the club's history and helped make history. When you come with good energy, then you also benefit."

On the combination between Europe and the league: "We tried to make the best possible preparation. We are also messing with the order of the games and we were after the celebrations, but we managed to make the switch and we also came back from behind. Doha will be our hardest game of the season. It won't be easy, but I trust My team. We want to continue the good start. We will find the solutions to replace Bogdan Palanich, bring in a player or two."

, who came back in a big way with a hat trick and a goal: "It's fun to be back in the lineup, I'm having fun here and happy about the result. Everyone deserves it after this week. I had a small ankle injury and some other personal matter, the team ran without me and it was obviously difficult for me personally, but I want to With the success of the club, I put things aside and knew that I would give my 100 percent when they needed me. I'm happy that it came at our most important moment, with a bit of luck. It might be the best team I've played in, offensively it's fun to play here. We give thirds and fourths , coming back from behind and I'm happy about it. Messi? I understood that the story got to him. I hope he wants my shirt."

Benny Lam

, coach of Maccabi Netanya: "This is football, I won't come and say that the goal a second before halftime and the penalty broke us apart. This shouldn't happen, I'm disappointed with how the game ended. It's true that they were better in the second half, but somewhere we broke down and I hope we improve This. This does not characterize us. It is a matter of mentality, not a change of formation or substitutions. We stood well in the first half and led. We fell with the penalty and collapsed. We never said that Netanya is in the major league, that's what you said. Netanya will be a strong team and will recover in the next game In front of Hapoel Tel Aviv".

Defender

who scored Netanya's goal: "Disintegration, there's nothing to explain. It's not something that should happen, we're not that kind of team. I think last season it didn't happen even once. We'll sit with the professional team and learn from the mistakes. I wasn't surprised, Maccabi Haifa is an excellent team. We did not consider the Champions League and what they did before, we prepared with the utmost seriousness. We are not supposed to get a top four from any team. I believe it will not happen again. In the next game you will see Maccabi Netanya, who you love."
