In the days after the derby, Maccabi Haifa were mainly trying to lower the flames.

The Greens wanted to hold a joint meeting that includes the players of both teams, but in the end only the captains Neta Lavi and Dor Malul met.

"It was important to do something that would calm the area down a bit," the club explains.

"There was a feeling that it was flaring up among the fans and the truth is that all this did not add to the professional preparations either."



"There is no doubt that we tried to put all things aside and focus on training," says a senior player on the team.

"But at the same time the cloud of the derby hovered all the time, mainly because of the uncertainty about the penalties."

That uncertainty has become the talk of the day among the actors, who feel that the media and social networks have inflated the story beyond the proportions it deserves, and are very afraid that the judges will give everyone written in the report a very heavy punishment, to be seen. One of those actors was Muhammad Abu Fani. Was included in the report even though he was not involved in the riot at all, and was eventually also removed from the list of those on trial.

Those who had to deal with those concerns are the professional staff members.

Bachar and the rest of the team dealt with quite a few conversations during training this week, threw a word to the players and tried to focus them only on the game against Betar Jerusalem. "We tried to instill in the players that if we lose to Betar Jerusalem , Explains a source in the group.

"The only thing they have to concentrate on is winning because there is nothing worse than messing with what will happen if."



Maccabi Haifa fears that the Betar Jerusalem players will take advantage of the low level of nerves and the work that the players in green are tense, when the professional team asked them not to be dragged into provocations. "Beware of unnecessary yellows," Shahar warned in a conversation with the players.

Very apprehensive.

If the derby events were not enough, Maccabi Tel Aviv's game on Saturday against Hapoel Kfar Saba arrived, at the end of which the Greens' biggest rival rose to first place, at least until tonight's game.

The club tried to convey power to the players and convey to them that even if the situation in the table changed, Maccabi Haifa is the best team this season when any result other than a victory could take the air out of the sails of the players and team members.

"We really do not deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv and this is not a cliché," states a player at Maccabi Haifa.

"This season we understand we have to focus only on ourselves. The game is a test but if being real in the media say about every game of ours this season that it is the real test and we?
