Abu Farchi, whose assist to Dor Peretz was followed by a successful penalty in the 4-1 victory over Kiryat Shmona, said at the end of the match: “A new coach has come in with new energy and fresh blood. We won and we move on.”
On the fans who supported the team today, he added: “We felt we owed it to the fans after the last game. We came with peak energy, played a good first half and carried that through the entire match.”
On the arrival of the new head coach, Ronny Deila, Abu Farchi shared: “The coach spoke to us a lot about energy, and that’s what won the game. We came with the right approach and it worked. He’s only been here two days and you can already feel he’s a good person. He spoke with every player on a personal level, which is a positive thing. I wish him and us success together. He knew me and told me I’m a player who works very hard and fights for every ball. If I lose it, I can run all the way to Bloomfield to get it back. He gave me confidence and told me, ‘I’m behind you.’ I’m happy I repaid that.”
Abu Farchi, whose goal took his season tally to six in all competitions, spoke of his personal targets: “The numbers are important to me. Today wasn’t enough, I could have given more. I need to work on myself to produce more numbers.”
On the title race: “We never give up. Right now we’re focused on the next match, want as many wins as possible, and in the end we’ll see what happens.”
Abu Farchi whose name was loudly chanted by the fans at Netanya, said after the match: “I get a lot of love and support this isn’t the first time. In previous games I received many messages and my phone almost crashed. I hope to repay them on the pitch.”
