Maccabi Haifa players celebrate with Goodswe Donio (Omri Stein)
Maccabi Haifa, who were drawn yesterday against Maccabi Petah Tikva in the quarterfinals of the cup, do not hide their satisfaction with the good and continuous ability of the offensive striker, Goodsway Donio, who recently got into the big shoes left by Nikita Rokavica and continues to deliver the goods. Donio’s data in the last three games in the Maccabi Haifa uniform are 177 minutes of play, three goals and 7 threats per frame.
Throughout his career Donio has an average of 0.44 goals per game and the club said: “Donio preys on all the cards. Although he is not the classic goal striker, he is a younger striker than Rokavica and one hungry to succeed. “The game is in our favor. This is Barak Bachar’s bingo that is added to two other foreigners we managed with – Bogdan Planic and Jose Rodriguez.”
By the way, all three – Planic, Rodriguez and Donio will probably start in the league game against Kiryat Shmona on Saturday. However, unlike Donio, the one who has a hard time coming back to himself is Yannick Wildshot who will go down to the bench. In Haifa, the Dutchman’s slow return to playing ability is linked to the corona virus that has occurred. Also, Chiron Cherry, who is due to end her isolation this weekend, and Rokavica, who is still suffering from symptoms following corona disease, are in constant contact with club members who are taking care of their well-being. Ministers like Yuval Ashkenazi are scheduled to return to the game against Hapoel Tel Aviv next week. As for Rokavica there is still doubt.
As you may recall, Maccabi Haifa was drawn in the cup in a home game against Maccabi Petah Tikva and the team can be satisfied first of all with the fact that the game will take place in Sami Ofer: “Maccabi Petah Tikva is a stubborn team and we have met them in the past at a similar stage in Sami Ofer. We will have to prepare properly for the game, but even before that we have the league games that need to be passed successfully, “they added in Haifa.
