“Planich makes the bronze big, the combination is successful”

Maccabi Haifa did not hide the satisfaction of the fact that according to the football research website CIES Football Observatory, which examined 42 leagues around the world, including the Premier League, which players have the highest success rates in league games during the Corona period, is at the top of the brakes with 72% success , After winning 18 of the 25 games in which he took part.

Arad is without a doubt one of Haifa’s success stories this season and tomorrow (Wednesday) at 20:45 he will be in the center of defense together with Bogdan Planic in the cup game against Maccabi Petah Tikva where coach Barak Bachar plans a number of changes.

On Arad’s success, they said in Haifa: “What managed to improve and make Arad a better quality brake is mainly Bogdan Planic. It is very important who the brake is that plays next to you and the Planich-Bronze combination proves itself time and time again. Planich makes the bronze big. Arad beyond his good personality is very quiet with the ball and reads the game beautifully. Arad is in good stages of progress. “

After the victory against Bnei Yehuda, Haifa is preparing for the cup game with the goal of not stumbling and advancing to the quarterfinals. The Greens will be able to experience for the first time this season in a home game the encouragement from 1,500 fans who will come to Sami Ofer Stadium.

The good news for Bachar is the fact that Jose Rodriguez and Yuval Ashkenazi, who were injured during the first game, were replaced but took part in training. The one who will definitely be missing from the squad is defender San Menachem due to the accumulation of yellow cards. Taleb Twataha, who as first reported in ONE was dropped from the squad due to a disciplinary offense, returned to training and looked good in training. In Haifa, they are convinced that the message to Twataha was conveyed unequivocally. Twataha or Rami Gershon will start in the lineup in place of Menachem.

One of the players who is expected to rest is captain Neta Lavie. Haifa is already expecting a very important league game against Maccabi Netanya this weekend, and Bachar has spoken more than once about the need to allow some of the players to rest. In that case the one who might be placed in the center of the link is Chiron Cherry or Dolev Haziza. Goodsway Donio who came in as a substitute against Bnei Yehuda and made a good impression is expected this time to get credit in the center of attack.
