Barak Bachar opened the fancy box called Maccabi Haifa and discovered that parts were missing. Now he starts looking for them, maybe he will find George Mendzek, maybe someone else, but one thing is for sure: in this squad, the gap from Maccabi Tel Aviv will not be reduced.
Bachar will get two or three players, but only if he improves the existing ones will something good happen to the Greens this season. What already exists is Nikita Rokavica. This is the first part from which to begin assembling the rest of the image. Yuval Ashkenazi also looks good, but this is it. The rest still need improvement, and Barak Bachar has two weeks to work on things.
On the other hand, Hapoel Haifa lost mainly because it fell off its feet. As long as the Reds had air, they managed to be equal, but the aforementioned fitness prevailed. Nikita Rokavica scored the Greens' winning goal. Thanks to the results in the other games, these points are equal for Maccabi a ticket to the Toto Cup final. Maccabi Tel Aviv is waiting for the first Clasico this season.
