Aboxis also knows: the "exciting" Beitar Jerusalem is bringing the club back to life - voila! Sport

Summary of the game: Beitar Jerusalem - Maccabi Tel Aviv 2:2 (Sport1)

Yossi Abouxis left Beitar Jerusalem's 2:2 draw last night (Monday) disappointed with Maccabi Tel Aviv. At the same time, when he entered the dressing room and saw the players bent over, he said to them: "What is this depression?

Keep your head up, keep going.

You played like men and gave everything, we will continue to fix what needs to be done, on to the next game.

We're on the right track."

It's not easy for Abuxis to pick up his players. It's the second week in a row that the opponent has equalized against him with ten players, and yesterday Maccabi Tel Aviv did it twice. The small mistakes in the defense still continue and don't give the coach peace ("It's driving me crazy," he said honestly at the end ), but first of all he should stop and be proud of the fact that after so much time, Beitar yesterday looked at a large group with the whites of their eyes, and did not stumble at the end as is customary in the sanctuary.

because all in all Beitar Jerusalem of the current season is a kind of miracle. The team was dismantled in the summer and was built on national league players. within the framework of six months), they turned it into a cool team that the crowd connects with, comes in droves and believes that with the right reinforcement, this team can do beautiful things. If they had a stopper and a goalkeeper at the beginning of the window, it would have helped them gain a few more points, but even in the current situation they are In a good position to get a ticket to the top playoffs. The renewed connection with the audience is her greatest strength.

A group miracle.

At the beginning of the year, Barak Abramov wanted to see a mobilization of the business community of Beitar fans, and he received a mobilization of the entire audience. The team plays three league games in a row - against Nes Ziona, Hapoel Jerusalem away and Maccabi Tel Aviv. 14 thousand spectators came against Nes Ziona, 12 For an away derby and yesterday there were 15,000 fans (23,000 along with 8,000 Maccabi Tel Aviv fans), who, although most of them didn't believe too much before the game, they all felt that they should be there. The light show, the ceremonies before the opening and the atmosphere that was at Teddy yesterday, also create a different vibe.

Here Beitar must also stop and know how to preserve the situation.

Somewhere, Aboksis squeezed the lemon with this squad, and without a proper reinforcement in the midfield and attack, it may encounter great difficulties later in the season.

A stopper and a goalkeeper will close the issue of the center of defense, but today Beitar does not have a replacement midfielder or a replacement attacking player, after yesterday was Stav Nahmani's last game.

Beitar knew that Dor Hogi had an offer from Sakhnin, but they didn't want to match it and the player signed with the northern team. The club has been waiting for Dor Turgeman since the summer, but as of yesterday Maccabi Tel Aviv is not releasing him. After the signing of Sergey Borodin and the expected signing of Arthur Rodko, The foreigners will be six, including Eduardo Guerrero who is not in the plans but is also not receiving offers. The club now has to choose whether to return him to the squad or freeze him and bring in another player, which involves additional costs and it is not certain that will happen. Aboxis re-received Bar Cohen yesterday, who left very frustrated From the Jerusalem derby and the criticism he received The team really liked Cohen's attitude and the way he entered the game in the second half yesterday.

More than 30 years that Aboxis has been in our football, as a coach and player.

In all the years together, he did not use the word "balance" as he mentions it in the context of the current Beitar, and it really does him no good to repeat the word over and over again. When asked at the end if the team is on its way to the top playoffs, he replied: "If we don't have Balance between defense and attack, we won't get there.

There will be games where we have to win by a difficult 0:1 and know not to concede or a difficult 1:2 that we need to win and keep the goal, and we will have to be much stronger in our defensive game.

Offensively we may be one of the funniest teams in the league, but what's happening defensively drives me crazy.

I have a hard time with it.

A team that wants to achieve something needs to know how to keep the goal and not concede such an amount of goals.

These are not goals that result from a numerical disadvantage, we have a numerical advantage in the area and do not keep players close.

I show it to the players in video conferences, talking, working and still absorbing."

About Sergey Borodin, Aboksis said: "We need to see how fit he is. We will not take a risk and bring him in quickly and expose him to injuries. Tomorrow he will start getting into things and we will see. This is a player we really wanted and really wanted to come. He will have to help us, but there are other players who will have to improve and come in to matters".
