Will reach their peak: Maccabi Haifa wants to continue counting | Israel today

2022-01-21T09:26:01.895Z


Maccabi Haifa is in the midst of an amazing period, but will it succeed on Saturday against Hapoel Jerusalem to equal the record of 11 consecutive victories from the 2005/06 season? • Jose Rodriguez will replace the dismissed Raz Meir


Maccabi Haifa will host Hapoel Jerusalem on Saturday, having already counted ten consecutive league victories (12 in total), including the game this season against Hapoel B'Shlosha.

The Greens opened the 2005/06 season with 11 consecutive victories in the league, a club record that the current team is certainly capable of reaching and even breaking.

Beyond that, if Noble Omar cooks at least one goal tomorrow, he will equal Yossi Benayoun as a player who made a "double double" until the 19th round.

Despite all this, there is high alertness among the players.

"We must not think that things will come easily to us," said players in Carmel.

Professionally, coach Barak Bachar will miss defender Raz Meir, who was sent off against Hapoel B'Shlosha. Jose Rodriguez may play as a right-back in his place, and San Menachem will return to 11 on the left side of the defense. In Turner.

Bachar said this morning (Friday) ahead of the match against Sami Ofer: "We made a very important victory, and I am happy that we will continue here for the next two and a half years at least. I am happy with the signing, it's over, we're already looking at the next game.

"Hapoel Jerusalem? I'm sure the players are mature enough to continue with the same things. We do not have the luxury of thinking that things will work out on their own, but make things happen by what has characterized us recently. I have no doubt we will continue."

On another issue, in recent days the club has received hundreds of inquiries from fans who are in isolation and will not be able to attend the game.

Therefore, it is estimated that Sami Ofer Stadium will not be full this time, unlike in recent games.

However, it is expected to be well attended, with between 17,000 and 20,000 spectators.
