Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Giorgos Donis, who will not stand on the lines tonight due to the dismissal he suffered against Red Bull Salzburg, must have marked the games against Karbah as one in which his team can achieve between 6-4 points. 22:00) in Bloomfield, as part of the opening round of the Europa League home stage.

True, Carbah should not be taken lightly, which dismantled Legia Warsaw in the playoffs in the qualifiers, and three seasons ago played in the home stage of the Champions League, but among the teams in the ninth house (Villarreal and Sibaspur) is the least quality and shiny team, without big names.

And unlike the Israeli champion's previous campaigns in Europe, the current one will be different, and any point you achieve in it will be very critical for her.

Here are the explanations.

In recent weeks, UEFA has announced to the teams that it will cut 16 percent of last season's royalties (2019/20), due to huge losses caused to it last year as a result of the Corona crisis. Regarding the current season (2020/21) there is no official decision yet, but Kiryat Shalom is already preparing The possibility that the grants they are supposed to receive from the UEFA, which currently stands at 9.2 million euros, will be significantly reduced.

For example: if the UEFA announces that this season too there will be a 16 percent cut in the teams' royalties, then Maccabi will receive about a million and a half euros less. And in the Corona season, where there is no revenue from ticket and subscription sales, the Yellows built on this revenue as an alternative Reaching tens of millions.

In light of these things, every point that Maccabi achieves this season in the home stage of the Europa League means a lot of money for a club fund, all the more so if UEFA cuts cuts again. Today, without announcing a new cut, each victory is worth 570,000 euros, while Silence equals a handsome income of 190,000 euros.The amounts, as stated, may be reduced.

And what exactly is a Conference League?

Next season, the UEFA "Conference League" (its original name was "Europa League 2") will open, to which the Israeli teams that have participated in the Europa League qualifiers to date will move: that is: those who finish second and third in the Premier League and win the trophy. The Israeli champion will participate in the qualifiers The Champions League, and if relegated in the first round, will be relegated directly to the new league. Only a relegation from the second qualifying round of the Champions League will lead to further participation in the Europa League. The sums of money in the new tournament will of course be significantly reduced.

And how does that relate to Maccabi Tel Aviv? In the previous two years, the Yellows failed to reach the home stage, which hurt their ranking, which is counted five years back each season. If Maccabi manages to register a good European campaign, and maybe even finish second and qualify for the last 32, it will increase Her chances of a better ranking are: If she wins the championship, she may skip the first qualifying round of the Champions League in advance, and if she is relegated later, she will be relegated directly to the Europa League and not to the Conference League.

"The goal: to fight to take points in every game," Donis said at the press conference ahead of the match yesterday.

As mentioned, Donis will not stand on the lines, and who will replace him will be his assistant Macis Angelinas.

Professionally, the Yellows are expected to enjoy a full squad, with no player infected with Corona, after in the pair of games against Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League qualifiers they appeared without most of the team players due to a wave of infections in the team.

Enrique Saborit's answer may have been borderline, but since he has already recovered from Corona, he is fit to play for UEFA and may start in the squad. Although they came out negative in the corona test.

According to the UEFA protocol, Maccabi Tel Aviv is not obliged to conduct additional tests on the day of the game, but in light of past cases in the team, the management is considering conducting additional corona tests on its own today.

Dan Glazer and Dor Peretz are scheduled to return to the lineup.

The new brake, Luis Hernandez, is likely to make his debut in the lineup.
