"We got slapped because we didn't arrive, maybe we needed it to get down to the ground" | Israel today

Maccabi Haifa last night (Sunday) recorded their first loss of the season in the league, 0:3 to Hapoel Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium.

After the 0:2 of the hosts, the coach of the Greens, Barak Becher, turned to his players and told them: "You are shameful."

At the end of the players, the players themselves admitted that they were indeed right and clarified: "We were slapped because we didn't arrive. Maybe we needed it to get down to the ground, and now we have two weeks of break to gather strength again for Maccabi Tel Aviv."

All the players in the lineup were criticized for their ability last night.

"We were very soft, everything we did perfectly against PSG completely disappeared against Hapoel Jerusalem" explained the club.

Now, the Greens have a break to rest until the next game against Maccabi Tel Aviv in Sami Ofer next Saturday (1.10).

Until then, midfielder Ali Muhammad will return from injury and is expected to be in the squad.

Regarding reinforcement, as time passes, the chances of signing another contract decrease.

The Israeli market does not currently offer the professional team the player they would like.

The club understands that the possibility of signing Aden Karatsev is very low, and Goni Naor probably won't come either due to the demands of Hapoel Jerusalem.

Therefore, the preference is to stay with the existing one and not to sign players who are not necessarily suitable.
