Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Maccabi Haifa 1:1/Sport1
1.
A big feeling of missing out at Maccabi Haifa after the 1:1 last night (Monday) with Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Greens feel that they could and should have come out with three points, but did not know how to take advantage of the superiority they discovered in the second half to register a turnaround. "Also at the beginning of the game we had some situations, and in the second half we should have scored at least two more goals. It's frustrating because we were really better," explains one of the players.
The feeling of missing out is great - and not only because of yesterday's game - but also in an overall view. "The difference between the teams is probably not 10 points," explains a club official. "It should have been much tighter, and it's a shame we didn't succeed in that."
Yesterday's draw left the gap at the top at 10 points with eight more games remaining, and it is clear to everyone that only a very dramatic scenario can lead to Maccabi Tel Aviv not winning the championship. "Every season without a championship in a club like ours is a disappointment, so it's obviously not a successful season for us, but it's important to end it well," said one of the senior players.
In Haifa, the players were complimented on their determination and character and made it clear how important it was to regain the respect of the audience after the last period. At the end, the players were encouraged by the crowd that came to the away game.

The one who came off the field injured is Dean David who just came back from injury. In Haifa they hope that it is not a significant injury, but the player will be examined and then its severity will become clear. In Haifa there is cautious optimism that this is not an injury that will disable the striker again.
Anan Halaili also worried the team members due to pain in his knee. As you know, the player is expected to sign the move to Saint-Gilloise soon and there were also minutes of anxiety around him, but the fact that he continued to play and even scored with a kick outside the box showed that it was not a too serious injury. In any case, Halaili will be rested, but in Haifa they hope that he will be fit for the next game. Franzi Pierro is also expected to return to the squad against Bnei Sakhnin, while Ilai Hajaj is still in doubt but may also return to the squad after a long period. In Haifa they clarified that Hajj's injury is deceiving, but he seems to be on his way back.

Although Masai Dago received compliments from the team members yesterday, the Greens are expected to promote the attempt to bring back Barak Becher during the week. As is known, it is estimated that Bacher will be appointed coach and will return with the aim of building the team next season. Officials in Haifa estimated that it would not be a particularly long negotiation.
Bacher wants to receive a large budget to strengthen the team, with the plan being that he will work alongside Gal Alberman in a format that worked well over the previous three years. The two will choose players in cooperation and agreement, Bacher is the one who emphasizes the need and Alberman locates the players and presents them to the coach for approval.
