Summary of Maccabi Tel Aviv's victory 1:2 over Hapoel Jerusalem (Sport1)
Even when Maccabi Tel Aviv wins, it does not leave satisfied until the end.
The 1:2 victory last night (Saturday) over Hapoel Jerusalem was indeed achieved for the first time this season in the league, the team knows how to come back from a deficit, but the ability in the second half was particularly poor, which greatly angered Eran Zahavi who came off the pitch disappointed and nervous and had a lively conversation with coach Aitor Karanka in the corridor next to The dressing rooms.
Maccabi Tel Aviv later said: "Eran was disappointed that in a game like this when we reach five good situations in the first half and when in the second half Hapoel Jerusalem barely endangers us, we only win by one goal and do not know how to kill the game and score a triple or quadruple."
According to an official at the club, Zahavi wanted more high pressure from all the squads on the field.
As mentioned, Zahavi spoke with Karanka right after the end of the game, but later he left the stadium smiling even though it is clear to everyone at Maccabi Tel Aviv that with this ability it will be very difficult to beat Beitar Jerusalem on Wednesday. "We need to be much more aggressive when the ball is not with us and score much more Of all our situations," said Karanka in the press conference after the match. "We score a goal in every five or six situations.
When we score a goal in every three or four situations, we will be in a better situation and victories will come to us more easily."
Even after victories, Maccabi Tel Aviv is not completely satisfied.

Yesterday, Karanka preferred not to rest his players, unlike Beitar Jerusalem, which left many of its players on the bench at the start of the game. "If I don't go up in every game with my strong team to win, what message will I give to my players?", Karanka asked at the end. "From the first day I arrived at Maccabi Tel Aviv I said that I wanted to win every game, so why not come up with the strongest lineup available to me on Saturday?
I can't expect my players to respect the game, if I don't respect the opponent and don't put my best players up against them." At the end, Karanka spoke about some players personally and said: "Dor Turjeman got the team shirt not because Jovanovic was injured .
Dor already knew a few days ago that he would start, long before Jovanovic was injured.
The generation has a bright future.
He needs to keep learning and progressing, but he is in the right direction.
For me, he is the future pioneer of Maccabi Tel Aviv."
If Yovanovic is not fit until Wednesday, Turgeman should continue to start at 11 alongside Eran Zahavi.
Regarding Joris Van Overeem, who got minutes as a substitute after a long time, Karanka said: "He deserves much more than what he got this season. He is a player who gives 150 percent in every training session and it really saddens me that he didn't play more."
Regarding the fact that he once again left Avi Ricken out of the squad, the Maccabi Tel Aviv coach said: "I am very satisfied with Avi's attitude. He is training great even when he is not in the squad for the last four games. I have no complaints against him. Avi plays in midfield in positions where there is great competition for every slot And right now I prefer other players."
Will he get the chance in Money Time as well?

With the exception of Jovanovic, whose participation in Wednesday's game is in doubt, Karanka will have Dan Glazer returning from the yellows and is expected to let him start.
It seems that the coach will also prefer Gabi Kanikowski and Parfa Giagon again and not Dan Beaton, who came in last night only as a substitute.
Bitton experienced a decline in the last few games, but Karanka defended him: "It's natural because Dan didn't play all season. It makes sense that after he returned to play and looked great, he'll have a bit of a decline. It's nothing unusual."
