Great celebrations in Kiryat Shmona: "People forget that we are without a home"
In Kiryat Shmona, they were encouraged by the 3:0 crushing victory over Maccabi Haifa, praised Ariel Shartzki and Niv Gabay, and mentioned the difficulties: "Playing in front of a local crowd is critical for us."
Great joy at Ironi Kiryat Shmona following the 3:0 crushing victory over Maccabi Haifa on Tuesday. The club kept most of the core from last season, but the departures of Yair Mordechai and Christian Martinez were significant, and the club wanted to see how they could manage without them. Yesterday, Ariel Shartzki received great compliments, and it seems that the captain who ultimately remained at the club will be a significant factor in the absence of the two and will have to lead the midfield together with the new foreign players. At Kiryat Shmona, they complimented Niv Gabay, on loan from Maccabi Haifa, who demonstrated very good ability.
Despite the victory, the team is not getting carried away, as the great desire is to finish a season even more successful than the last and to compete again until the end for entry into the upper playoffs. The team mentioned the fact that they do not train and play at home, and hope that the work to finish the renovation at their stadium will be accelerated so that even this season and at a relatively early stage they will be able to return to play at home.
"People forget that we are without a home, but it is a critical thing for us," said a player on the team. "It is true that the stadium in Netanya is great and the training grounds are also good, but in the end, playing in front of a local crowd is a completely different thing."
