The transfer window in Israel will open in a week, and until then, Maccabi Haifa will try to get its hands on Omar Atzili and Andre Geralds, players of the Cypriot Epoel Nicosia. The Israeli midfielder recorded 45 minutes yesterday (Saturday) in his team’s loss to Perlimani (2: 0), while the Portuguese defender is not a partner at all. In Haifa, they are waiting for the two to reach an agreement on their release from the Cypriot club, and then the talks will be accelerated, when messages have already been conveyed.
Carmel does not show concern following Betar Jerusalem’s interest in Noble, as the player is interested in joining the Greens and fighting for titles. On the other hand, Geralds is not interested in another club in Israel.
Meanwhile, Maccabi Haifa is satisfied with the victory over Hapoel Hadera. Eighth consecutive victory for Barak Bachar’s team, comparing a figure of more than a decade. It was not a big game for the Greens, as this is only the third time since the start of the season that they have scored only one goal in the game.
Hadera prepared well for the game and made it difficult for Haifa to attack from the wings. Bogdan Planic has once again proved to be one of the best brakes in the league with 13/13 in fights, 1/1 in tackles and 11 ball saves. San Menachem also had a good game, he was close to conquering and Yuval Ashkenazi’s terrible miss in the final minutes prevented him from cooking. Also in the statistics he impressed with 8/10 in fights, 2/3 in balls and 2/2 tackles.
It is not for nothing that Maccabi Haifa has kept a clean sheet for the seventh time in the last eight rounds. The India club defense has big shares in last night’s win. Bachar also gave minutes to Yannick Wildshot, who has recovered from an injury and seems to be slowly trying to regain his confidence. Taleb Twataha also got minutes, but as a wing. The coach is now preparing for a streak of five games in 18 days.
Dolev Haziza received the title of Outstanding Player for the month of December from the principal before the game. Later in the game he did not record one of his best performances, but he finished the game with cooking. The winner of the victory gate, Charon Sherry, who extended his contract this week, suffers from groin tenderness and has therefore been replaced. Maccabi Haifa will try to prepare him for the game against Hapoel Beer Sheva.
In addition, the team outright rejected the claims of Hapoel Hadera officials that the ball carriers disappeared at the end.
