Max Grechkin ahead of Maccabi Netanya: "Opportunity for sporting revenge" | Israel today

One of the hardest defeats that Beitar Jerusalem suffered in the first round was against Maccabi Netanya.

Next night, the yellow and black will meet the diamonds once again, only that, unlike that game, Yossi Aboxis' team is a completely different team.

Beitar will be missing the injured Ofir Kariaf, Dan Azaria, and Joshua Mahiyas, who has not yet returned to Israel.

"What happened in the previous round is over, we're coming to open the round in a good way," said Aboxis in Masa'at, adding, "we'll have to be better and more aggressive than we were against Kfar Qasim.

Maccabi Netanya has good momentum in the cup and in the league as well, but we are also a different team from the start of the season, more organized, it will be a difficult game, but we are at home and we would like to win this game.

We need to find the balance between the attack and the defense, without the balance we cannot move forward.

As soon as our defense is strong, our attack will be stronger."

Aboxis informed that there are no new developments regarding the defender Joshua Mahiyas, who has not yet returned to Israel:

"Our management is taking care of it," and referring to Oral Daghani's new position as a midfielder, he said: "We tried Daghani in the midfield against Sakhnin, and it changed the game for us, from his point of view as well Looks good. We have the disadvantage of Mahiyas, but we have good brakes in the team if Degani continues to play in midfield. It is possible that in some games he will play in midfield and some in defense."

Max Grechkin added:

"The result from the previous round is sitting in our minds. In this game we just started the season after all the mess in the summer, and everything went the other way for us, for me personally. I'm glad that we now have a chance for sporting revenge. Netanya is a good team, even though this year went It's a little more difficult for them. Now they are playing well, but we are a strong team and we proved it in the second half of the first round. Top playoffs? Once the attitude is right, you can always look up. Our crowd this season is at its peak, and it's fun to have such a crowd behind us. I hope we We will continue to make him happy."
