Maccabi Haifa will leave tomorrow (Monday, 20:15) for a tough foreign game against Betar Jerusalem. The weather in the capital is expected to be very cold when the forecasts show a temperature that will reach minus two degrees. As a result, Group Manager Rafi Osmo decided to buy players and bench people special blankets to keep the heat in the freezing cold. "I will dress well, that's for sure," said Coach Smile, confused at the press conference ahead of the game, adding "the players will also dress accordingly but in football there is no such thing as cold, hot, rain or snow. We have to win tomorrow."

On the rivalry tomorrow, confusion said: "Betar Jerusalem is an excellent group, lightweight and material in Teddy. We need to be determined and focused to meet our goals. We will do everything to come back with a win. Each game can evolve in many directions. I don't know what method they will develop but big time, everybody knows everybody. "
On his team being able to narrow the gap from Maccabi again but failing to do so the previous two times, the Green coach said: "The league is very tough. Everyone loses points and has trouble. Yesterday you saw Maccabi TA against Hapoel Haifa or us against KP. Every game has to be 100 percent ready to win. There are many more games, even in the regular league and a complete playoffs ahead of us. "

Regarding who will open tomorrow in the lineup, Maxim Falkushchenko or Dolev Hiziza, the coach said: "Maxim did well against Hapoel TA. Good to have competition and it is a healthy headache."
About the midfielder Martin Hashek who did not end up signing: "It's no secret that we wanted the gun. I say from August that we have a good roster, he may have shortened a bit but he is quality and I really believe in my players."
Over 6,000 fans who will be arriving in Jerusalem tomorrow were confused: "What the audience has been doing since the beginning of the season is simply rare. We feel at home and we only have to give them back for everything they contribute to us."
