Bibras Natcho, former captain of the Israeli national football team and ex-Partizan player, spoke in an interview with Sport 5 about recent developments in Israeli and Serbian football. Having officially retired, Natcho reflected on Hapoel Tel Aviv's surprising and decisive victory over Ludogorets, praising their progress and expressing hope that the club will continue to advance in European competitions and reclaim its rightful status.
Natcho also analyzed Hapoel Be'er Sheva's win against Red Star Belgrade, noting that despite Red Star's stronger squad on paper and Be'er Sheva missing a key offensive player, the Israeli team’s tactical strength and excellent coaching made the result unsurprising. He emphasized the mental challenge Be'er Sheva faces in the upcoming away leg in Belgrade, highlighting the psychological pressure on Red Star to advance after investing heavily in their squad for the Champions League. Natcho predicted that if Be'er Sheva plays carefully and avoids mistakes, they could score and progress.
Regarding Mohamed Abu Fani's recent signing with Red Star Belgrade, Natcho, who is closely associated with Partizan Belgrade, suggested that Abu Fani was likely advised not to communicate with him to avoid influence on the transfer. He wished Abu Fani success but indicated it was not the right time for contact. Natcho also commented on Douglas Aveso, who is undergoing tests before potentially joining Hapoel Tel Aviv, calling him a talented and fast player who could make a significant impact if integrated well.
On a personal note, Natcho shared his ambivalence about encouraging his children to pursue football professionally, supporting them only if they play out of passion. He humorously noted that his wife is even more reluctant about their involvement in the sport.
