Maccabi Haifa coach Barak Bacher was interviewed tonight (Wednesday) after the 2:0 loss to Benfica Lisbon at the opening of the Champions League.
"Losing is not a respectable thing, but we gave our best, we played against a great team with a high tempo, very high quality. A miss because we started the second half well and if our good situation had come in, everything would have changed, and then we stole on the other side. We gave our best, can't blame the players"
Bacher also said: "Benfika is a better team than us, but we managed to reduce the gaps, in the end it is a higher quality team. We tried, we experienced, it was a great experience to be in such a position. I believe that the goals and points will still come."

Dolev Haziza, who started today as part of the defensive squad, also said: "Great pride, but a bit of a shame because after the first half we reached a situation that could have changed the game. But if you don't take advantage of these situations, you are punished. Everyone is disappointed, but they accept it. You have to get used to this pace, these strengths."
