The reactions at the end of Beitar Jerusalem's 0:0 draw against Maccabi Netanya/Sport1
Beitar Jerusalem went down with mixed emotions after the home draw against Maccabi Netanya, with Barak Itzhaki's debut on the lines. On the one hand, the team was better in the second half and didn't know how to score, but on the other hand, after a very bad first half and three consecutive losses, a point allows a little breathing room for The continuation of the league games, although in the next two games the team will meet Hapoel Beer Sheva and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Beitar's game plan was good for the first few minutes, but very quickly Maccabi Netanya recognized the problems in the midfield and on the wings and came up with quite a few situations that, from Beitar's point of view, were not ended in the goal. The instructions to attack after losing the ball were not followed by some of the players, the team was soft and with a lot of luck the half ended in 0:0, or as they said in Beitar: "In the first half it felt that some of the players could not stand the pressure and with heavy legs, This must not happen."
There are reasons to worry, there are reasons to be encouraged, but time is pressing.

Itzhaky felt the pressure in the stadium that affects the players, he didn't turn the tables at halftime, he tried to talk football, to change and create a team that would dominate the game.
It worked but there was no food.
Shua had a bad day, Adi Yona who was recovering from an injury was also rusty, Dor Micah tried but it's still not the one, Khorhali didn't bring a change and Friday was good with his back but not sharp and dangerous enough to score.
In the first week of a coach, changes are made, some of them also some kind of bet and new blood on the grass, but from week to week Itzhaky will learn with whom to start this war.
A third coach in the season is appointed when there are many problems, and on the one hand there is a desire for pressure, but on the other hand it is not certain that this squad is built for it.
There are a lot of personal mistakes that create situations for the opponent and this is something that Bitar cannot afford in the struggles of the bottom.
Ofir Kariaf returned to business yesterday and in terms of the professional team he is like everyone else - starting from scratch. Oral Degani was on the bench but it is not yet clear what will happen to him. Degani can indeed Play another 3-4 games before his contract is automatically renewed, but at this stage Beitar want him to waive the option in his contract for next season and the parties are still in talks.
Timothy Mozzi will try to train in full form this week, as he is currently a major doubt for the game at Turner, which will be held without an away crowd.

Barak Itzhaki concluded: "I see him in a different way than when I was a player, you have to work very hard and you have to work a lot so that in the end the team plays the way I want. It is not easy, I took that into account when I came, we will have to keep looking forward, because we saw in certain minutes that there is quality, Players who know how to play. We will have to change the mentality a little in terms of the defensive game and the pressure game, it will improve over time."
The coach added: "We need to run a lot more, press harder in most phases of the game, we need to change our perception. We play a little different football and we need to find the balance because in the end I didn't build the team and we need to make adjustments. I know what needs to be fixed and I hope it happens as soon as possible as soon as possible."
