Beitar Jerusalem is preparing for a meeting tomorrow (Monday) with Hapoel Haifa in Sami Ofer to lock the 16th league in the Premier League. According to the team's concluding training today, coach Roni Levy is expected to continue to give credit to the team that won Hapoel Raanana in the previous cycle. Antoine Conte has not overcome the knee injury he suffered recently and will miss the game tomorrow as well.

The coach spoke today at a press conference ahead of the game: “Hapoel Haifa is a difficult hurdle. The keyword is continuity. This game is the kind of game we need to know to go through and not stumble on. "

Levy added: “We understand that we are playing against a great team, a team that beat us in the first round. It is never possible to know whether it is better to accept the opponent after losses or wins, if we do not come in full concentration we will have serious problems. I take the game seriously and I hope the players will come with this approach as well. "

Are Betar looking at Maccabi Tel Aviv and Haifa as well? "We look at the whole table. We always want to aim high, but at the same time we are always on our feet. I tell the players that we need to concentrate on ourselves and the rest will be good. We have to prove ourselves on the ground rather than talking, this kind of game can provide answers. "We want to see if we can and only then can we speak out loud about this competition."

The coach also addressed the issue of injuries: "Conte, this is a knee he suffered in the past, is currently recommended for rest and it will take some time. We are debating about him. Vered is doing full training today. He is getting better, we are all waiting for him to come back as soon as possible."

Regarding possible reinforcement in January: "What I want to see in the transfer window I tell Yossi and Moshe, I am currently focused on the game."
