After ten years in which it mainly caused suffering to its fans, Maccabi Haifa at least currently looks like a team that can give many happy moments to people who follow it unconditionally.
Tonight (Thursday) the Greens managed to beat the Russian Rostov 1: 2 on the way to the Europa League playoffs.
The host took an early lead but goals from Nikita Roakavica and Muhammad Abu Fani completed an impressive turnaround.
Barak Bachar's influence on his trainees is visible when and next week they will go to London for a very difficult game against Tottenham.
Coach Barak Bachar said after the game: "Great fun from the effort and what the players gave. To pass a team at such a level, in such a way. The way we played and came back from behind is a great pride."
On the start of the game: "We prepare the team so well, all the mental and professional team we know that even if we absorb we can lift ourselves. Despite the goal we absorbed we started the game well and pressed and then we got a goal from one attack. I felt my players could go back , We took control of the game and equalized and won rightly.
On the conqueror of the victory gate, Muhammad Abu Fani said Bachar: "He works hard and this goal is a bonus for him and for us. Yuval who started so far and did not open today helped the team and it is a healthy thing. We currently enjoy this victory and it hurts me the crowd could not celebrate with us. I'm sure the audience is proud of us and we will try to do the same next week. "
Abu Fani himself was excited after the game and said: "It's fun, there's no such feeling, happy we won and forward to the next stage. I told Barak to kick, try and in the end we will be conquered. A French guy told me to kick, it will be fine. After the goal I felt immense joy. "That the opposing team is not easy. We are happy to take this step"
