A week after celebrating an almost historic victory in the derby, Ziv Aryeh's surprising team dominated from the start against the proud champion and enjoyed a brace from Ofek Biton, who also scored the third for William Tugi.

Barak Becher

concluded at the end: "We didn't get out of the Champions League, unfortunately we stayed there. We wanted to go into the break perfectly, with 5 out of 5 in the league, but we met a good team that punished us. I expected that during the game the players would pick themselves up, we went a little better in the second half , but then we conceded the third and it was all over. It may be that in hindsight it was a mistake to go up with the same car."

"There's nothing to be angry about. It's over, we lost justifiably and we'll prepare properly for the next game. I probably didn't prepare the team well enough. We wanted to go into the break quietly and cleanly, we tried to squeeze the players to the end, but in the end it's not easy to come down from such a high and we lost The guys should be praised for what they've done so far, we've pushed ourselves to the limit. If we think there's a player who can strengthen us, we'll do it. There's not always something that can be brought in. There's still a good enough squad."

: "Our game was not good, lacking energy and everyone's ability. We did not come well from the first moment. Sometimes you have to receive this blow in order to know how to pick up the energy. I am sure Barak will give us the lead, as we deserve. I take responsibility for this loss, Like all the players. I believe that after the break against Maccabi Tel Aviv we will look different. Everyone wanted to win and be the best there is, but we were all weak. We did not fight like we are used to, like the sacrifice we gave in all the previous games. I apologize to our audience that came here. Can To be Maccabi Haifa needed this encouragement, to understand the difference between the Champions League and the league. During this whole period we only received compliments, you have to know how to accept them in your head."

A dream week.

The happy coach Ziv Aryeh

said at the end: "Abu Fani looked for Ahmed Salman in the dressing room to give him the shirt, so if Salman asked for this shirt we have somewhere to strive. Our dream week, no doubt. We are playing well, even when we drew we felt we could To win. We said in advance that we would also be brave against Maccabi Haifa, the attitude was good. There were minutes we could have done better, but that's fine."

"We have a derby in the Toto Cup on Thursday and we will try to reach Rosh Hashanah happy. The table is irrelevant at this stage. We want one or two more players to be deeper. The goals have not changed, we want to have a good season and grow players. We don't want to be close even for one second To where we were last season."

Regarding the sending off of Guy Badesh, who was angry after being the first substitute again, the coach said: "Badesh is allowed to be angry with me, he earned it."

The star of the game is

: "Before the game I said I would score a pair, I also promised Lior Zeda. Like a guided imagination, it worked. We played our game, Ziv prepared us well and we did it. We are aware of the table, but we will remain humble."

explained the disallowance of Dean David's goal in extra time: "The ball came from the Hapoel Jerusalem player, but it was not under his control, so VAR signaled me to disallow the goal, in accordance with the changes in the constitution."
