Dor Peretz scored his third and fourth league goals of the season but that wasn’t enough to help Maccabi end their winless run as they were held to a 2-2 draw away to Bnei Reineh. The 28-year-old whose side hasn’t won in the last three league matches and conceded a gap at the table that has shrunk from 10 points to three, said: “I don’t know if the title ‘crisis’ is something that suits us, but we are on a run of three matches without a victory which is significant, especially after the run we had. We all need to have a good look in the mirror, to assume responsibility, to understand how everyone expresses himself better. It all starts on Wednesday and how we return to winning ways”.
On the draws against Hadera and Bnei Reineh and the defeat to Haifa, Peretz said: “I think that we drew twice and lost once. This is our time to analyze things, to sit tight and draw as much as we possibly can from those three matches which will be something to push us forward”.
Peretz, who didn’t have the best of games against Haifa by his own high standards, reflected: “I came here tonight to play my game. Against Haifa I wasn’t up to my standards, as I am happy that today I showed a little of what I am capable of to try and help the team. As I said earlier, we will all look in the mirror and arrive on Wednesday fully prepared. We need to be more aggressive, to want more than our opponents as I think this is what will push us forward to win again”.
