Danil Lesvoi made his debut for Maccabi Haifa against Ghent on Saturday. The winger spent several weeks in Israel before signing a contract with the club.

He says games in Russia look like a theater show compared to what is happening in Israel. "My English is at a reasonable level. It's different, because until now I had to use it occasionally for a few minutes' conversation with the foreigners of Dynamo Moscow," he says. "I'm at about 50 percent right now"
