Hapoel Tel Aviv finished its preparations for the Tel Aviv derby tomorrow (Monday) and the club calmed down, that despite the outbreak of the corona last week, at this stage there are no more players complaining about symptoms and everyone is feeling well.
Ernest Shtakus and Dan Azaria, who were infected with the virus, will of course be absent from the match, as they will have to complete ten days of isolation. Eddie Gottlieb, who is injured in the groin, will also miss the game, and he is waiting for the results of the MRI examination he performed.
Professionally, it seems that Nir Klinger will continue with the team that started with a 0: 1 victory against Bnei Sakhnin on Wednesday. This means that the coach will probably open with five defensive players – Niv Serdel, Iyad Abu Abid, Sianda Kolo, Raz Shlomo and Danny Gruper. Omri Altman, Shachar Hirsch and Gil Yitzhak are expected to continue in the front.
Klinger He said before the match against the Yellows: “In our last game in Sakhnin, parameters were expressed that I wanted to bring back to the team – fighting spirit, heart and soul. As well as correct tactical play. It is clear to us that there is much to improve. The neck is in real danger of death and we must act accordingly. ”
“The derby is a different story, a different opera. There is a different pressure on both teams, and a lot of prestige,” the coach continued. “It is clear to us what we are heading towards and the less we talk and talk on the pitch, the better for us. We will continue to be very committed and fight for our lives in the league, we are in a survival period now and we have to behave exactly this way.
also Danny Grupper Told a bit about the team’s feelings in recent days: “We feel we are showing better ability than where we are in the table. We know what we are worth and believe we will do good things this season.”
On another issue, there are still gaps between Dan Einbinder and the Reds regarding a season-and-a-half contract, and the player is exploring additional options. Swedish striker Samuel Holm continues to be tested in the team.
