Donio outside the squad for Petah Tikva, Rokavica is still unfit

Maccabi Haifa could breathe a sigh of relief yesterday (Wednesday) at the end of the 1: 2 victory game against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Haifa, in one of its worst performances this season, was pressed for hair and in the second half was not far from losing points in Bloomfield A difficult life for Barak Bachar’s defense.

Haifa does not have much time to rest and will expect Maccabi Tel Aviv’s stumble tonight against Sami Ofer against Hapoel Haifa. Already this weekend, Haifa expects a tough home game against Maccabi Petah Tikva, which is looking to secure a ticket to the top playoffs, with Eid Habashi and Yuval Ashkenazi returning. Barak Bachar, on the other hand, will have a significant headache in the front, after it became clear that the injured Godswi Donio will not be included in the squad. The one who is expected to replace him at 11 is Muhammad Awad, while Nikita Rokavica, who has just returned to practice on the sidelines, will not be dressed for the meeting either.

Back to what happened on the grass in Bloomfield. “Finally we win our bad game,” they said in Haifa. “Games of this kind and in this ability we used to lose points, but this year more and more people see that the team has character and knows how to keep the precious points. Some players were really drained of effort and desire to keep the points. That it ended like this and we are already facing Maccabi Petah Tikva.

One of the more encouraging things lately is the fact that the three players in the link, Neta Lavie, Muhammad Abu Fani and Jose Rodriguez started to provide goals from the other line, which was very lacking: It is not possible to teach or work on it and it deserves to be the goal of the season, ”the team added.

Whoever finds it difficult to recover and loses shares in Yannick Wildshot, who repeatedly gets opportunities once in the squad and once as a substitute and finds it difficult to score goals, when he will have to improve if he wants to stay in Carmel next season as well. Yesterday, the Dutchman had two opportunities he did not take advantage of when one of them could have become a cook for Muhammad Awad who was not covered. By the way, in Haifa, they claim that the changes Bachar made in the second half when he combined Awad, Wildshot and Maor Levy helped the team stop the dominance of Hapoel Tel Aviv, which went and sought the equalizer.

The decision to move and play and not for the first time during the course of the game to a set of three brakes also helped the team to regain control until the end. The winners yesterday were Noble Omar who is returning to good playing form and Lavi who lost a critical ball on the way to the team’s mandatory goal, but knew how to recover and demonstrate high ability and the bonus was a spectacular save from the ball line that threatened to penetrate his team’s goal.
