Even in his worst dreams, Yossi Aboksis did not imagine that his first four games at Hapoel Tel Aviv would end without a win or even without a goal. Tonight (Sunday) the Reds messed up again after drawing 0:0 against Hapoel Petah Tikva.
Beyond the frustrating result, the draw almost definitively eliminated the Reds’ chances of making it to the top playoffs after all. With two rounds remaining in the regular season, Hapoel Tel Aviv is six points away from the sixth place that leads to the playoffs.
After the meeting against Hapoel Jerusalem in Bloomfield, they will end the regular season with perhaps the toughest game in the league – Maccabi Haifa at Sami Ofer Stadium. With two shots on goal in four games, at this point Hapoel Tel Aviv has to look down as it is only two points away from the red line.
“Before I arrived, Hapoel Tel Aviv was a bad team, and we can’t change that,” admitted Yossi Abouxis at the end, “we want and fight, but we don’t bring enough ability, you see that the players are stressed, we could lose. Our audience deserves a better team. Football It’s not just a commitment, Hapoel Tel Aviv needs to bring more ability and that disappoints me.”
Hapoel Petah Tikva can’t be particularly satisfied either. The Malaves were a huge Roy Navi miss away from a fourth overall win of the season, and are stuck in last place four points off the coast. Bnei Lam hoped to start a new momentum after the 0:4 over Bnei Yehuda in the round of 16 of the cup from the middle of the week, but without success.
The balance of the blues in the last games is not much better than their opponent tonight. Although this is the second draw in a row for Bnei Lam, this was preceded by three losses and in those five rounds the table is locked with only one goal scored.
