I am pleased with the players that we were much better than the table leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny time I don\u2019t win I\u2019m not content,\u201d Barak Bachar said. \u201cThe game can be split into two, the first half was not good on out part and we couldn\u2019t deal with the pressure and we didn\u2019t play our game.
