Summary of Hapoel Jerusalem's 1:2 away victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv (Sport1)
Almost four days after the loss to Hapoel Jerusalem, this morning (Wednesday) Aitor Karanka spoke for the first time with the Maccabi Tel Aviv players.
In the meeting that lasted almost an hour, there were also professional tactical aspects backed up in videos about the differences between the first quarter of an hour and the rest of the game, about the mistakes made by the players and also about the mistakes made by the coach.
Along with this, there was also another facet in the long meeting during which, among other things, Karanka said: "I see from the sidelines how cohesive you are, I notice the unity that exists here all week between you and the good connection that exists here between all the players. These are really things that I have not seen anywhere I have worked, And I want you to bring this spirit to the games as well, certainly when we are behind and need to be together and believe that we can win."
Karanka added: "I understand that everyone closes the story for us and says that we are no longer part of the competition this season. I don't feel that way, I really don't think that we should think too far. We have a game on Saturday and we have to concentrate only on it, but in general I saw everything In football, there is still enough time to make amends. I believe in every player here, I have no doubt at all in the ability of the players in Maccabi Tel Aviv, and I hope and expect that we will demonstrate this on the grass as early as this coming Saturday."

After the meeting, Karanka held a longer than usual training session, in which Ofir Davidzadeh also participated, who should be medically fit for Saturday's game against Hapoel Haifa and may even return to the lineup.
At the end of the training, a delegation of six players: Davidzadeh, Avi Ricken, Parfa Giagon, Dor Peretz, Dan Glazer and Enrik Saborit went to Bloomfield Stadium, where about 700 young fans and their parents were waiting for them, for a meeting in honor of Purim.
Usually these meetings are more for the children, but at Maccabi Tel Aviv today they felt that the meeting was more for the players as I remember last Saturday they received boos and insults from the stands which even brought Eran Zahavi to speak out against the phenomenon.
Today's meeting, against the background of the bad spirit that accompanies the team in the last week, added a lot to the players themselves, according to people in the club.
