Return to the league: Beitar Jerusalem knows that from now on they will look at it differently

Until two weeks ago, Beitar Jerusalem was the number 1 candidate for relegation with terrible ability, but two consecutive victories and a lot of sacrifice brought it back to life, when Asperia and Nicolescu execute and Shua also recalled his good days. Grechkin: "The pressure has not been released, we are still in a situation Not good"

Summary: MS.

Ashdod - Beitar Jerusalem 2:0 (Sport1)

Beitar Jerusalem had quite a few concerns before the match in Ashdod last night (Saturday), and in the club there was talk that a draw would be a good result. But as Yossi Abouxis said - Beitar gave its best game of the season, both at the level of sacrifice and at the level of football, with An away win is very important in trying to escape from the bottom.

Asperia and Nicolescu are hot in the front, with 9 goals and 3 assists for both of them, they are really the hit of Beitar. They will not continue with such numbers throughout the season and Beitar will also have to get numbers from other players in the front, such as Jordan Shua, Eduardo Guerrero, as well as players The link that joins.

The numbers speak.

During the week's team meeting, Aboxis complimented Gerchkin, Kriaf and Shua for their work in the game against Kiryat Shmona.

This also applies to yesterday.

Grechkin experienced a bad start to the season with all the events of the summer and the injury and lost a little confidence, but yesterday he gave his best game of the season, with a lot of sacrifice and a quiet game also in the transitions in the front part.

The placement of Ofir Kriaf as a midfielder proved to be a bingo in the last two games, he is the noise character that Beitar lacked in the back link, and together with Toma Beitar's link has risen in rank.

Aboxis worked with the players before the game on the exits of the defenders, especially of Svetkovic towards the front, as well as on her quick wing play, and things worked.

Also Itamar Israeli, especially in the first half, did a good and quiet job that gave confidence to the players.

Jordan Shua should be considered separately.

Just last January, Beitar defeated Teddy 2:0 in a match remembered because of Itamar Nitzan's interview at the end of which he said that "Betar is the number 1 candidate for relegation".

Jordan Shua started this game and ran about 6.1 kilometers, a very bad mobility that expressed all his ability in those days.

Yesterday?

After a long time, he ran like a legitimate production player, 9.5 kilometers, kept the ball, was aggressive (received a first yellow for a foul and Aboxis feared he would receive the second and was warned), which made him be the first to the balls and create situations.

On the defensive level, he did not stop running after Zohar Zasano in the days, things that hardly seemed to be saved even in the good days, and he deserves praise.

How long will it last?

This is the test of his career.

More in Walla!

So much for the compliments.

Because still, Beitar won because they wanted much more, Ashdod came puffed up and surprised by Beitar's ability.

After such victories, the next rivals look at Beitar differently and it will have to prepare accordingly. In the next round against Hapoel Haifa in Teddy, Aboksis will want to complete a third victory in a row before the series that includes Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Tel Aviv and Sakhnin, but each and every player will have to bring the same Sacrifice and energy he brought to Ashdod yesterday to make it happen.

Yossi Abouxis said at the end: "In the dressing room at the end, the first topic of conversation was how difficult it was to play in this game, how many years the team had not won and me personally as a coach, even when I was a player, it was very difficult on this field. We broke it, I will push a strong team and we managed to make it, We have to continue from here with the same determination. Even though we won, I say that the entire conduct in the summer was at the delusional level, we were patchy on patchy and we improvised from the beginning of the season, everyone talks about results, but we had a start to a season that was unprecedented in Israeli football, I'm happy that little by little players joined and we are connecting, that's two victories Important and difficult to bring us back to the league, we were in a serious slump until two games ago."

The coach added: "As soon as Jordan, Nicolescu and Asperia defend, it is more difficult for the opponent to reach our goal, and on the other hand, we got into a lot of situations. We talk about it a lot in meetings and we see it on the field as well. Still, if we take our foot off the gas, we will regret it, we have to enjoy ourselves and think quickly about the game Next in the league. There's also the Toto Cup in the middle of the week, we have a long squad, even more than I wanted, it's not what I like too long a squad, but it's a situation with what we went through in the summer, one of my hardest things on Friday is to determine the squad and tell the players that they We don't get dressed, we'll get to January and we'll have to thin out the squad so players can play, I'm not having fun with this thing, even in tactical training I have to put 5-6 players out, but I do everything honestly, you can't please everyone."

Max Grechkin added: "Second victory in a row, keeping a clean sheet, we were waiting for it to start and create such a streak. There were injuries, many players were absent and it was a bad period, but we hope that we will get out of it. I don't think that the pressure has been released, we gave some kind of joy to the fans, even in periods They pushed us the hardest, but the pressure was not released because our situation is still not good and we have to continue what we started. We deserve the team, the players, the audience, but there is no time to even enjoy ourselves, we still lack many points that need to be regained. In these games we stabilized the defense, Even in less good minutes, this is the key to a team that can be successful for a long time, but we have to maintain it, because only through good defense will we win games."
