Kobi Refua Says He Is Fully Committed to Bnei Eilat After Viral Ben Yehuda Clash

Addressing the specific question about why he did not make an early substitution, Refua said that is a coach’s judgment and rejected the idea that someone else can dictate the timing. “When Eliran Oved is a coach, he can make a substitution in the 20th minute,” he said, adding that he was not losing 15-0 and that sometimes a move works and sometimes it does not. He said he had remained silent until now by choice, but the incident caused him real damage.
