Bacher updates goals: "The big challenge is a championship in the season of champions" - voila! sport

Just like what happened to them on Tuesday against Maccabi Tel Aviv, tonight (Saturday) Maccabi Haifa fell behind in a bad first half, but they were strong for things after the break.

Four days ago it was enough for a 1:1 in Bloomfield and tonight the Greens made a turnaround at home and beat Maccabi Netanya 1:4 with four in the second half.

Their gap at the top currently stands at eight points, before the second Hapoel Beer Sheva hosts Maccabi Tel Aviv tomorrow.

From a 1:0 deficit to a big 1:4 victory.

"Indeed, we started the game well. We pressed and were simply not accurate," said the winning coach,

, "Nobody did a sharp and correct action in the front part and on the other side in their first attack we conceded. I am happy that in the second half we did things more correctly and were more relaxed in the The front. There was commitment, we created a lot of situations and deservedly won."

Regarding the formation, the Maccabi Haifa coach said: "We have already played 5-6 games with an attacking formation. There are committed guys who know how to get the job done. As soon as we press properly, things work. We take into account that we will be exposed 2-3 times in the game, but the power of this group is an attack."

About his future, he said: "I will not leave Maccabi Haifa at the moment for any team. There is a goal here and it must be met. I have already said that there are offers and interest, I am informing those who need it. I always like challenges, but Maccabi Haifa is also a big challenge. The biggest challenge Mine right now is to achieve a third championship in the Champions League season - it has not yet happened in Israel and it is a very challenging goal. I don't like to think too much ahead, as soon as you think about what will happen, it takes away from focus and I'm glad that we don't lose focus."

commented on the equalizer scored as Oamu's own goal: "They told me that now in the dressing room. I hit the ball, for some reason they gave it as an own goal. It doesn't matter, what's important is the victory. I've been feeling good for the last month and a half, you can see it On the grass. The goal is a championship and I believe we will do it. Six more games, let's just keep going like this."

On the possibility that Barak Bakr will leave abroad: "We have one goal for everyone, Barak also wants to win a championship - whether he goes or stays."

Maccabi Netanya's coach,

, concluded: "We didn't show up for the second half. At the break we talked about the fact that despite the advantage we had to stay in the game and we didn't. We saw today how high-quality Maccabi Haifa is - when you're a little unfocused you get punished. You have to know how to win games, Certainly when you're leading. It's too great a privilege to let Haifa reach so many situations and on the other hand not conquer more in our situations. To be on top you have to win, if we don't do it - we won't belong. There's a lot of frustration."

said: "That's how it is when you play against Maccabi Haifa, you make mistakes and don't take advantage of your opportunities. It goes away without feeling it. We didn't take advantage of their mistakes to go up 0:2 and it's a shame. They took advantage of ours. Maccabi Netanya comes to every game With commitment, playing her game. Right now it's not going well for us, you can see it. We will continue with the same attitude, the one that characterizes us as a team. We look to the next game."

They paid for the mistakes.
