Summary: Hapoel Beer Sheva - Maccabi Tel Aviv 0:1/Sport1
Maccabi Tel Aviv are struggling to relax from last night's events in a 1:0 loss to Hapoel Beer Sheva at Turner Stadium. Deep into the night and after the team had already returned to Tel Aviv, most of the members of the team still corresponded among themselves and with members of the Football Association, the administration and the referees' union and wondered how it was that not one angle of the camera out of the 12 that filmed the game was found, in which Miguel Vitor was seen in a different way.
"We are investing so much so that there won't be such a malfunction," said officials at the club. "It is impossible that there would not be one angle of photography that would show whether Vitor was or was not in the difference."
But alongside the disappointment and anger, Maccabi Tel Aviv already understand that, according to them, dealing with deprivation will not get them the point back, so the message that was already sent to the players last night is that the story is no longer about Turner, but on Saturday against Hapoel Haifa. "We are dying to start the game on Saturday," said players. "Crying about refereeing or photographers will not give us points against Hapoel Haifa."
Robbie Keane dismissed last night at the Turner press conference an opinion raised by one of the journalists, according to which the uncertainty about him next season is hurting the team. "That's not true," Keane said. "My conduct throughout the season is the same and you have never heard me say that I will not stay."
Eran Zahavi will be absent on Saturday after receiving a fifth yellow card last night and Dor Turgeman is expected to start in his place.
