Scene Ness Ziona players have something that interferes with the season before the big ones - they feel they are dismissed, disparaged, and they pass on the commenters' websites and newspapers and videos, and are repeatedly surprised at how much they disrespect them.

One of the highlights was before the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv in Bloomfield. "How long will it end?" Asked a commentator on a well-known radio show and scornfully answered by the other commentator: "Skip." In the end, as you know, Ness Ziona was the first to conquer the champion this season after 1,272 minutes with Clean gate.

"Even before the season started, we were dropped by a league," a player in the team said. "People send us what they say and what they write. Everyone here has a family, and it gives motivation to show everyone that Ness Ziona may not be league leagues, but nonetheless a team that should be respected."
If only the games versus the big ones are taken into account, the disdain for Ness Ziona seems to be playing in its favor.

Aside from a draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Amir Turgman's team recorded its first win of the season against Hapoel B'C, but against Maccabi Haifa (3: 0) and Beitar Jerusalem (4: 0), and it slightly messed up the balance. "They will continue to underestimate and we will continue to surprise," one player concluded.

In terms of tactical preparation, coach Amir Turgman testified to "Israel Today" that "there is no special preparation, we do a comprehensive preparation in front of every opponent." The players confirm Turgeman's remarks, but make it clear: "There is no game in which we are not an underdog.

Tomorrow, Ness Ziona will leave for an away game at Sami Ofer against Maccabi Haifa. The Oranges already reached Sami Ofer this season and dragged Haifa to an extension in the eighth round of the National Cup, at a meeting where most of Turgeman's first team players got a rest (Haifa darkened after 1: 3 in the extension). "We have already seen that everything is possible, even against Haifa," said a player in the new immigrant ranks, "Victory? A draw will be good, too."

On the other hand, Marco's bunch of confusion really doesn't disparage her opponent. "We saw what they did in front of Maccabi TA and Hapoel in SC," said captain Netta Lavie. "We also had to sweat against them in the Cup, so this is a good team that will not make us an easy life."
Confusion will bring back Trent Sainsbury, who won the cup. Charon Cherry is also expected to return to 11, after opening on the bench opposite Umm al-Fahm, probably at the expense of Muhammad Awad.
