Departure plan: The preparations of Maccabi Tel Aviv for the opening of the home stage in the European League

An MDA vehicle was parked near the parking lot of Maccabi Tel Aviv's players' vehicles at the training facility in Kiryat Shalom. From time to time, the driver started to warm up the engine just in case. Spokesman Ofer Ronen updated that this is part of UEFA safety managers due to the corona.

Should be prepared for any scenario due to the virus.

On the grass began the players of Georgios Donis for a concluding training ahead of their opening game in the home stage of the Europa League against Karabakh (22:00, Sport 3).

No dressing room, no wardrobes, no storage.

Come in the private cars with the clothes from home and change into soccer shoes a moment before.

Almost like the guys at Sportek on a Friday afternoon.



Donis arrived directly from Bloomfield Stadium, where the pre-match press conference was held.

UEFA withdrew him from tonight's match because of the red card he received from the referee in the game in Austria against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League playoffs, but he was allowed to attend a meeting with the media. About the five national players he did not see all week because they returned from team activities there were Corona cases and even tried to explain why he did not choose to give a contract to his list of players for the Europa League. Then he went to Kiryat Shalom and got on the grass, looking at players who prepared themselves for training. Maccabi Tel Aviv walked towards him to the center of the field with a quick walk, gave him an explanation of Enrique Sborrit and his negative test and went back down to his room in the facility. The team doctors became the dominant figures in the football clubs.

Tonight: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Karbah (22:00, Sports 3)

An unusual play.

It is not clear if Donis knew when he spoke an hour and a half earlier in Bloomfield about Eitan Tibi, Sharan Yeni, Eyal Golsa, Maor Kandil and Eden Kartzev, that they would not be able to train with all their other friends last night either.

While this was not the usual training they did this week at a separate time from the rest of the players because this time they were on the grass at the same time, but the spectacle was very unusual.

With two sticks, Donis' fitness coach opened the training.

Over twenty players ran together in one team with him.

The other five ran away from them with fitness coach Yossi Zigdon.

Later the big team was also divided into three small teams and on the field four separate teams of players were observed at an equal distance from each other.



This is far from being an ideal preparation for the Europa League, but Donis looked pleased yesterday at the press conference.

Even when he did not accept foreign players for the qualifying rounds of the Champions League, he did not grumble.

Even when the corona virus broke out at his club and took away almost half of the players, he did not lose heart and went into battle with a few tools, but with a lot of faith.

The immigration of an Israeli team to the Europa League, probably during Corona when there is no crowd to excite from the stands, may give the feeling that it is enough.

That the mission is complete.



Three years ago, the last time Maccabi Tel Aviv reached this status, it waited until the last game of the home stage to get one right goal that in the end also arranged for it a very prestigious victory over Villarreal away.

Donis wants to take three points already tonight and not wait for the next games to give the gong.

A home game against Karbah, who is more troubled by what is happening at home than by what will happen tonight in Bloomfield, is an excellent opportunity to get the monkey off his back already in the first round.

Donis may have sat in the stands, but he had plenty of time to prepare himself and the team and he admitted it was a great opportunity to open the way with three points to qualify from this house for the knockout stages.

It was very airy last night in Kiryat Shalom.

The youth department is disabled from the activity and the constant bustle of children in the compound in the afternoon, replaced by the sound of the cool winds that came from the shores of Jaffa and Bat Yam and symbolized the autumn and perhaps even the approaching winter.

At other times the stadium tonight was almost full of anticipation for a magical night.

But after the stifling closure of the holidays and the fear that international football will not be here either, tonight Maccabi Tel Aviv will play in Bloomfield in order to start itself and enter the appropriate zone.

Europe is Europe, but the Premier League is around the corner and immediately after the early game against Hapoel Beer Sheva on Sunday, the meeting against Maccabi Haifa will arrive, which Maccabi Tel Aviv cannot afford to lose, after opening the season with a big lag behind the contender for Barak Bachar's crown.
