Ironi Tiberias Owner Urges Team to Fight Hard Against Maccabi Haifa in Toto Cup
Ahead of their Toto Cup match against Maccabi Haifa at Sammy Ofer Stadium, Ironi Tiberias owner Aryeh Klemenson addressed the players in the locker room to motivate them. He emphasized that losing is unacceptable for the club, stating, "I do not believe in the term 'honorable loss.' A loss is a loss, and no one celebrates leaving without points." Klemenson praised the team's spirit and effort despite a recent painful defeat against Kiryat Shmona, highlighting the players' courage and commitment.
Klemenson also informed the team about an upcoming legal battle the club's management will face on Wednesday, assuring them that the players should focus solely on their performance on the field. He encouraged both young and veteran players to seize the opportunity to prove themselves during the Toto Cup and become key figures for Ironi Tiberias in the Premier League.
He concluded by urging the team to approach the match against Maccabi Haifa with confidence and pride, without feeling inferior or seeking excuses. The owner reassured the players that while the management handles the legal challenges, the players' job is to concentrate on the sport and finish the Toto Cup on a high note.
