Summary: Bnei Sakhnin - Beitar Jerusalem 1:2/Sport1
Beitar Jerusalem is in a season of addiction to pain, and the 2:1 loss to Bnei Sakhnin illustrated this well. Despite the good ability in the second half last night (Saturday) including an equalizing goal, Beitar's DNA this season is to absorb these goals.
There will always be the irresponsible player who makes the mistake on the way to the goal, whether it's Jordan Shua who lost the ball, Uri Dahan who lost himself or Miguel Silva who decided to make a move and close as a defender and not as a goalkeeper.
"What Shua did must not happen, but we are already used to someone making this mistake, it is not the first time," the club says out of desperation.
"There are too many players here who cannot be trusted, and that is the worst thing that can happen in a team."
At halftime, Gal Cohen "washed" the players and told them: "How do we always give these gifts before halftime? From our loss, to the goal on the other side. I make changes and we go up to the second half differently. Whoever is not able to give 100 percent of himself should not go up to play, Those who are strong and don't want to play should just say so. I only want players who come up with the goal of winning the game."
But this is what Beitar Jerusalem's season looks like. The fate of Yossi Aboksis was sealed after a dramatic goal by Hamza Shiveli in Teddi, and the crash in the last minutes also happened towards the end of the cup match against Beer Sheva, against Maccabi Tel Aviv, in the Jerusalem derby and yesterday. Beitar is a team that Knows how to use good minutes to decide and on the other hand simply gives gifts to teams that are already losing interest in the game and not exactly looking to score a goal.

Gal Cohen will finish his job this week because the pressure is taking its toll and the club is afraid of going to bottom battles with a young coach who has not accumulated mileage on the lines.
It is impossible to know if it will change anything, but what we can know is that Beitar's current team is not close to being built for bottom battles. The squad is full of too many players who are waiting for the end of the season or those who are not so concerned about how the season will end.
The leading candidate for the position of coach He is Barak Itzhaki, with whom an attempt will be made to conclude today. If things do not work out, the club is expected to turn to Ofir Haim, who currently works in the football association and only less than a month ago, when he was a candidate for Hapoel Tel Aviv, announced that he was renouncing the offer. It seems that by noon things will be clarified with Itzhaki and then the team will be able to move forward.
Beitar understands that this is an emergency situation and asked the professional manager for the next season, Almog Cohen, to come to Beit Vagan soon and take part in the professional management and the mission of survival in the league.
As of yesterday, Beitar is only one point away from the red line, when the court may deduct a point following the flares that were thrown against Maccabi Haifa and caused the game to be stopped.
In the next round, the team will host Maccabi Netanya. The club believes that Adi Yona will be fit and possibly Ofir Kariaf as well. Timothy Mozzi is still injured And with great doubt.
