“Still waiting for answers, players in suspense”

Hapoel Beer Sheva still does not quite know what its squad will look like in the first game of the Europa League tomorrow (Thursday, 19:55), but it will mainly have to try to concentrate on football. As you may recall, Joshua, Louis Taha and Raz Rahamim were found positive for Corona, as were Yossi Aboksis and Aliniv Barda, but in the capital of the Negev they will in any case hope to start on the right foot in the battle against Slavia Prague.

With the team coach, Yossi Aboksis, The uncertainty ahead of the game is very evident. Nearly 24 hours before the opening whistle, the coach does not know who will be at his disposal – and if he will be able to stand on the lines at all. “We have not yet received an answer,” he said at today’s press conference. “But we also remember the period when we did not practice at all. It is difficult, but we will not look for excuses.”

As for him, Abacus said: “I feel good. I had a few less good days, and a little fever, but overall I got through it well. I’m fine. The players who returned from the Corona are also returning to play – which is more difficult. “Aboksis also criticized the decision to advance the league game from the fifth round against Maccabi Tel Aviv to Sunday:” We do not understand this game, it is an invention. Suddenly ahead of a game from the fifth round, when half of our team was sick, it is incomprehensible. We did not like the decision, neither I nor the players, but we will come and fight. “

Aboksis also referred to his opponent tomorrow: “Slavia may not have played in the league, but it has quite a few players in the national team. Of course they are champions in the Czech Republic. They are a very strong team, and they were also more active, but we also had good results in previous games. “We will try to get the most out of it, despite abnormal preparation.”
