It turns out that the controversy surrounding the timing of the big Tel Aviv derby has reached as far as Denmark.
As mentioned, the prestigious game between Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv is scheduled for next Saturday night (21:00) at Bloomfield Stadium at the request of the team's coach, Willy Rotensteiner, who wants his players to have another day off before the game against Denmark, in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers next Thursday.
The problem: That Saturday, a performance by singer Moshe Peretz was also scheduled, for which tickets for the Bloomfield stands have already been sold. In any case, the storm surrounding the derby date, which may eventually take place next Sunday, also reached the Danish media and the website at tipsbladet Describe the saga in the following words:
"There is unrest in Israel and there is a big storm following the game against Denmark. Although the State of Israel can be calm in terms of corona vaccines, the Football Association is not the quietest because of the game dates, which conflict with the singer Moshe Peretz's concert. "Even though the singer has a contract in hand. At the moment, it is still not at all certain whether he will be able to perform in front of 1,500 spectators at the stadium in Jaffa."
"National coach Willy Rotensteiner only allowed legionaries from abroad to come to the training camp opening on Monday, while the other players must report there on Sunday - so he and the Football Association insist the Tel Aviv derby will only take place on Saturday and not on Sunday."
