Eran Zahavi: "Nothing works for us" | Israel today

2023-03-04T20:29:44.019Z


The Maccabi Tel Aviv star announced at the end of the loss to Hapoel Jerusalem: "The team is stressed, I didn't come back to be top scorer but to win titles" • On the booing at the end: "I hope it doesn't happen" • Aitor Karanka: "I don't want to say things that I will regret, It's my responsibility"


Maccabi Tel Aviv suffered its first home loss of the season this evening (Saturday), after succumbing 2:1 to Hapoel Jerusalem in Bloomfield.

The result means that Maccabi Haifa can increase the gap from the Yellows to eight points, if they beat Hapoel in the derby on Monday.

After the final whistle, the Maccabi Tel Aviv players approached the crowd - who responded with shrill boos - whistles that were heard even after the double substitution made by Aitor Karanka in the 60th minute, when Dan Glazer and Dor Peretz came in instead of Gabi Kanikovski and Parfa Giagon.

Eran Zahavi said at the end: "We started the game excellently, and suddenly there was a drastic drop. We were not able to react, we did not score the second goal, a little bit my responsibility. We conceded easy goals, we got under pressure, it feels like when we get a goal at home there is a pressure cooker, and we have a little difficulty standing up Bo. I saw a very stressed team. What's not beating in the team? In one word: everything. Everything is not working for us at the moment, I don't want to go into too much detail. None of us are doing the job properly, and it's up to the top, including the team, including the audience, Including everyone, we are one club."

Regarding the boos, he said: "I can understand their disappointment, we also want to play better, but there are players here who have gone through upheavals and we need to respect them. To leave us booed like this on the field is not pleasant. The players give everything, everyone gives 200 percent and we want to stay together, I expect the audience not to boo."

"Everything I say, I might regret it tomorrow," said coach Aitor Karanka.

"It's my responsibility, I made a substitution and we conceded two goals. I don't remember a single chance by Hapoel Jerusalem, but it's my mistake. I felt that fresh legs were needed on the field, Dan Glazer is the best in the league in his position. I'll have to watch the game again to analyze it properly Better. My body language? It was the same at the beginning as at the end. We need to understand what happened to us and think about the next game."
