Before the World Cup break, Hapoel BS coach Aliniv Berda stated that he "prefers to continue playing." The momentum the team from the capital of the Negev had had stopped, and Barda knew very well that the timing was not working in his favor.
With the return, a narrow penalty shootout victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Toto Cup and elimination from the State Cup (a title they hold and will soon lose), led to a clear insight that B.S. still needs to get into the rhythm.
BS needs to get back the sick Miguel Vitor, who went on hiatus after playing with the Israeli national team. Without him, BS's defense looked bad in the last few games.
Right defender Or Dedia is back from injury, but it is not certain that Berda will prefer him in the league over Shagib Yehezkel, who filled the slot in an exceptional way and became a substitute striker to a defender who conquers, cooks and is invited to the Israeli national team.
Owner Alona Barkat will strengthen the squad in January with at least two players, one of whom may be a foreigner.
To that end, BS will release two or three players to make room in the budget. Until January, Barda will have to make do with what they have. Before the break, it was enough to connect with a great team, but now everything has to be put back together to stay in the championship fight.
