Maccabi Haifa ended its journey in the State Cup on Thursday (27.2.2025). At the press conference after the loss in the quarter-final match of the cup at the "Toto Turner" Stadium (0:2) to Hapoel Beer Sheva, the coach of the Maccabi Haifa team, Barak Bachar, said: "A very weak game, for a moment we were unable to generate momentum. All the changes did not prove themselves, we lost to a better and more confident team. We are not good enough, we tried, we changed, but we were unable to generate momentum. It is clear that this was the most important game of the season, now the league remains, we will do everything to narrow the gap.
We didn't give enough fight and that's what's more worrying, we have more goals and enough games. I'm not saying the championship is the goal, but there's still a fight for second and third place. We'll have to get up from this, there's no choice. Rafaelov? Not a kid, we have to divide the minutes. He also couldn't get into the game, he didn't go today. We'll try to put what was aside and win on Monday."
Is the season over and ending with another crushing failure? Will team coach Barak Bachar continue to coach Maccabi Haifa next season? Time will tell... Dear fans and readers, we look forward to your comments!
Maccabi Haifa needs a change from end to end. In my opinion, Barak should not remain on the team. He gave the maximum he knows in the three championships. Let's hope that next season we will be more successful.
You need to hire another coach.
You came home with a pillow, you failed along the way, you repeat mistakes endlessly, you failed in choosing the foreigners, there is no way, the team is off, you probably lost the locker room too
You will lose on Monday too, shame on you.
From Montum, learn a new word, last time it was with the mental. Bachar steals minds and reaps the successes that others sowed. As if championships are 90% coach. Shahar… It's better not to speak because you let him light a torch, so what will I say and what will I say, a country in complete chaos.
