Although Maccabi Tel Aviv did not manage to qualify for first place in the table yesterday (Wednesday), the Yellows presented one of their best games against Hapoel Hadera (1: 3), continued their winning streak, and no less importantly won a number of players back.
Dan Bitton presented a great game with two touchdowns, precisely after his agent claimed that the player was unhappy with his status, having played little lately.
The contact has established himself as the king of the league's cooks with 8 of them.
Maccabi said of him: "It is impossible to know every game what you get from Dan, but he has qualities and is a significant weapon."
Maccabi hopes that Alexander Peshich's pair of goals, which raised his tally to 7 goals in total in the league, will add confidence to the striker ahead of the continuation of the championship fight, when already on Saturday the Yellows can climb to first place, at least temporarily until Maccabi Haifa's game. Only if they beat Hapoel Kfar Saba.
"We had a lot of situations and we deserve compliments from Hadera goalkeeper Ruby Levkovich, who stopped a lot of goals," Peshich said. "We have shown in recent games that our team has a strong character. We do not think about Maccabi Haifa, we have our way and at the end of the season we will see who "I forgot what it was like to play in front of an audience and I hope that soon they will allow the fans to come because I heard a lot about the Maccabi audience."
Striker Yonatan Cohen, who returned this week for a training session that overcame the main quadriceps injury, may be included in the squad against KPS. On the other hand, Avi Rikan, who was injured yesterday and there is a fear that he is suffering from a strain, is doubtful to face.
