Rocking chair: Donis comes to the game from which there is probably no way back

After long weeks in which his team goes back and forth, Georgios Donis must make Maccabi Tel Aviv rise against Sibaspur (22:00, Sport1).

Despite his vast experience and receiving the reviews and reports evenly, the Greek knows that a loss at Bloomfield will cause his chair to sway tightly

The 2: 3 summary of MS.

Ashdod on Maccabi Tel Aviv (Sports 1)

Two elements have been repeated in Maccabi Tel Aviv in the last 24 hours and will surely also star in the hours left for the all-important game against Sibaspor, tonight (Thursday, 22:00, sports) in Bloomfield in the last round of the ninth house in the Europa League.

The first is the ability to ignore the media uproar surrounding Georgios Donis in recent days.

The second element is the encounter itself with the Turkish team, with all the layers that accompany this game.

For example, Maccabi Tel Aviv repeats the psychological matter that Sybaspor is trying to assimilate from the moment she arrived here.

"We must not fall asleep in the face of their attempt to hide the importance of the game for them," say Maccabi Tel Aviv, "the fact that they came with 14 players because of Corona or that the coach did not come to the game, does not mean they are not crazy to win. They are trying to put us to sleep."

The fact that Maccabi Tel Aviv can advance to the last 32 tonight if it ends in a draw is also a matter that needs to be addressed psychologically.

Donis said at one of the training sessions this week to the players: "We are not coming to play for a draw. We are only coming to win this game."

In this context, it is of course worth noting that the Greek will not send his players in the last minutes to attack without defensive responsibility, because even a point will suffice tonight and therefore it is likely that if Maccabi Tel Aviv is equal starting from the last quarter, it will prefer to put more emphasis on keeping its goal.

But the first element that Maccabi Tel Aviv dealt with is no less challenging than the second part.

There have been criticisms of Donis since he came here, but not like since the team lost to MS this week.

Ashdod.

Donis got over the questions nicely at the press conference yesterday, including the unsympathetic publicity from Cyprus about the team's appeal to Timur Katzbaya, but it's clear that tonight is his biggest test.

"He has a lot of experience in dealing with these situations and do not forget that he has coached in Greece and Cyprus for years and probably already knows the media and its effects," say Maccabi Tel Aviv.

But even if Donis dismissed everything that was said and written about him and tried to concentrate only on the game, he has plenty of problems to deal with.

Despite the Yellows' victory over Seabas in the first game, the locals were better and the Israeli champion does not improve its game from week to week.

It is doubtful that in the days since the loss to Ashdod, Donis taught and assimilated more correct and quality football.

At the end of the difference the evening will be through determination, aggression and especially movement and exploitation of situations.

If Maccabi Tel Aviv loses, his chair will surely swing vigorously.

"The results are the coach's best friend," he said yesterday, smiling.

He also knows that in a football team the head coach will always be first on the table even if the players are the ones playing on the pitch.
