Knesset Hapoel Haifa, Hanan Maman, decided to return to the team's training this morning (Sunday), despite the fact that he is sitting seven due to the death of his sister, the late Orit. "I decided to return to training every day and return to Shabbat seven after training.
This is what Orit has always wanted, this is also what I feel is right to do, "Maman explained in a message he conveyed to the media through the club.
The actor also wrote: "I want to say thank you. Thank you in my name and last name, for the great warmth in which we are wrapped and that we experience from the moment we went on the fundraising campaign, and the great love that envelops us in the days since Orit passed away. Thank you for joining Operation Orit It was an operation that showed how strong the strength of our football is. Fans from all teams donated and helped, with us were team owners, players, coaches, from all teams and from all the shirt colors, people who just showed how much our football is full of love.
"You will know that Orit herself was full of happiness from the great power of all of you, and kept her smile right until her strength was no longer hers. Orit was special, and kept saying that she does not stop her life to fight the disease, but she lives when she is with her."
The club of course accepted Maman's choice and the players flooded him with messages of support over the weekend.
