Head Coach Jordi Cruyff commented about his side’s 2:2 draw at Hapoel Haifa on Matchday 11 of the Israel Premier League Ligat Ha’Al:
“I didn’t enjoy the match. When you are up 2:1 at halftime you have to win the game.”
Not being able to kill the game:
“The opponents created chances to easily. We had chances but it was a stupid penalty to give away. We brought them back into the game instead of killing it and look for the 3:1 and take the 3 points home.”
Haifa’s play:
“Credit to Haifa, it’s not a coincidence that they are in first. They play organized and they play high and are dangerous on the counter attack. When you’re 2:1 up you expect to win the game.”
Looking better:
“The team showed character and we played to the last minute. It’s true we looked better over the also few weeks.”
Giving us goals:
“We gave some soft goals away and we are working on it. We had clean sheets at the start of the season but he we are struggling.”
About Dor Micha and Eyal Golasa:
“Micha played 90 minutes 3 days ago and he’s a special player. We missed Golasa, it was a huge improvement to our team and you could see that.”
