After the 0:6 defeat inflicted on Hapoel Tel Aviv at the beginning of the week, today (Thursday) Hapoel Beer Sheva held a press conference ahead of the meeting against Bnei Sakhnin that will take place on Saturday.
Coach Eliniv Berda said: "The great victory that was his honor rests, for me, I am focused on the next game. It was a nice victory, but it did not bring us more than 3 points, the gap from the first place is large and in my opinion I would have preferred to win 6 times 0:1, and I think The players also need to understand that what happened is already history.
"The game against Sakhnin is completely different on a hard court, I don't remember when we won there. We respect the opponent and know that it is difficult for us there and we have to come with humility and thinking about how we can improve even more."
On preventing a drop in tension, he said: "We need to look ahead and come with peak concentration to the game."
Regarding the team's injury blow, he added: "We have quite a few. I think it should raise the level of vigilance. I don't know what the level of competence of everyone is, and in the end we will emerge with the best 11."
Berda commented on the status of Shafi Sulaimanov: "If he had scored in the last two games, then we would have talked differently. He trains excellently, constantly wants to learn and absorb more information. If he continues like this, he will return to the form he was in."
Regarding the purchase that does not arrive in the last transfer window, he added: "I have no news, when there is something to announce - I will announce it. In the near term there will be no reinforcements, but behind the scenes we are working hard and meticulously to damage what we bring, if we bring it."
Defender Iyad Abu Ebid, who took part in the press conference, said: "It's always fun to win in front of the home crowd, but that's behind us. We only look at ourselves and how we improve, not at Maccabi Haifa. From my personal point of view - I knew I had to go up to play against Hapoel Tel Aviv despite I was injured. It was a liberating feeling."
About the game in Doha he added: "We don't have the luxury of losing points. We will come humble to win the game and move on. I'm not going to sum up the season in January, so far we've had a good season so far."
