Summary of the Conference League qualifiers: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Aris Thessaloniki 0:2 (Sport1)
Maccabi Tel Aviv preferred to stop the final matches against Dor Peretz and Eli Dassa and continue them only after the game tomorrow (Thursday, 21:00, Sport1) against Aris Thessaloniki.
With Peretz, most of the details have already been agreed upon and with Desa there is great progress, but the club decided to put aside the matters against the two this week also because the team already left on Monday for Thessaloniki due to the tense atmosphere in Israel surrounding the operation in Gaza, but mainly so that the team's players would have peace of mind to focus only on the game The important thing is tomorrow.
The club decided not to bother with anything that is not related to the game tomorrow, at the end of which Maccabi Tel Aviv may qualify for the playoff stage of the Conference League.
Immediately after the game, the talks with the players' representatives will continue to close the contracts of the two.

In the meantime, Maccabi Tel Aviv will hold its final training tonight for the match tomorrow at Aris Thessaloniki Stadium.
Yesterday, the team held its first training session in Greece at Tomba Stadium, the home of PAOK Thessaloniki.
Vladan Ivić is not expected to make any changes to the formation he started against Aris last Thursday in Bloomfield and he will once again start with the trio of defenders Nir Biton, Sharan Yeni and Enrik Saborit.
The only question is who will start as left back in this formation.
The one who was supposed to be in the lineup in Bloomfield was Ofir Davidzadeh, but he felt tenderness in his groin muscles in the warm-up and asked to be substituted.
He was replaced by Matan Hozaz in the lineup.
It seems that Davidzadeh will start this time.
Eran Zahavi, who came on in the second half as a substitute and scored the second goal, is also expected to wait on the bench this time, although a final decision will only be made at the end of tonight's practice.
Zahavi's influence on the field is enormous, so Maccabi Tel Aviv is still considering the possibility that he will start instead of Randley Kubas.
500 Maccabi Tel Aviv fans are expected to be in the stadium, according to Aris Saloniki's estimates.
Aris has already sold 12,000 tickets to its fans and it is estimated that there will be 20,000 people on the field tomorrow, giving the Greek players a homely and warm atmosphere.
Estimated line-up:
Daniel Peretz, Andre Geraldes, Nir Biton, Sharan Yeni, Enrique Savorit, Ofir Davidzadeh, Dan Glazer, Joris van Overeem, Brendley Kubas, Gabi Knikowski, George Jovanovic.
