Maccabi Haifa will travel to Bloomfield tomorrow for a game against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
The Greens will come after their first loss in the top playoff, 3: 0 to Maccabi Netanya.
Coach Barak Bachar came to a press conference ahead of the game, but even before the professional reference to Hapoel Tel Aviv, he referred to the penalty of closing the north stand in the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv and said: "We now have two important games away.
The decision is disappointing and without our audience there is no power.
I hope the decision will change because it is an illogical decision for us. "
On the way the team arrives after the loss he said: "When you lose time passes slowly and you already want to make amends. On the other hand, there was a busy period and we needed that freedom. We have a full staff and a debt to the crowd left after the loss to Netanya and encouraged us."
On having a full squad: "Competition is a good thing. Jose is back and the meaning is clear. He is a very diverse player. He has returned from injury and everyone knows what his meaning is. I am glad he is at our disposal."

Bachar was asked about the away games in the top playoffs, and replied: Everyone sees how close and difficult the games are.
No team has won away in the playoffs and that means a lot.
Hapoel Tel Aviv is a difficult team and it will not be easy, probably after their loss and ours. "
Asked how he sees things after Hapoel Tel Aviv's defeat in the derby, he said: "On the contrary, we need to be more alert. A team that snatches 5: 0 in the derby has come to prove it. It will be very difficult."
