Maccabi Haifa came out with mixed feelings after the draw last night (Tuesday) away against Hapoel Beer-Sheva (1: 1).
On the one hand, a point away against Yossi Aboksis' team is not a disaster, but the club feels that it was possible to win the game as well.
"Their only kick to the frame is the rest. We kicked 19 kicks to our goal and we deserved to win."
At the same time, the Green Club admit that the first half was less good.
"We were too nervous, unfocused and did not play our football," said players on the team who added: "In the second half something was released, we were aggressive and it would have been a crime if we had lost by mistake."
Meanwhile, last night's game is probably the Greens' last in the next two weeks.
The club hoped that the league would continue and be excluded despite the closure, but this did not happen.
Despite this, club president Yaakov Shachar will continue with the staff strengthening programs in January according to the plan.
The noble Omar connection is scheduled to land today (Wednesday) in Israel, when last night he was still looking for direct flights to Israel, but without success.
Between the player and the Greens, there are general understandings regarding the contract he will sign at Carmel.
In the coming days, an official announcement is expected about the signing of the 27-year-old midfielder.
Apart from Noble, Haifa will look for further reinforcement, probably in the striker position.
One of the reasons that the professional team gives priority to strengthening at the front is the fact that Raz Meir functions well as a right defender.
"Raz has improved a lot and was also excellent against BS," the club said, concluding: "Neta Lavi also showed that the story with CSKA has less of an effect on him. Planich brake that does not belong to Israeli football but to the highest levels."
