Summary: Vitesse - Maccabi Haifa 0: 1 (Sport 1)

27-year-old Franzi Piero was acquired during the summer for 1.6 million euros by Maccabi Haifa and became the club's most expensive acquisition of all time.

The Haiti national team striker, who arrived from the French Gangan, is starting to adapt to his new team and get into things and tomorrow (Saturday, 20:30, Sport1) is expected to make his debut in the green uniform in the Champions League game against Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Prior to that, they conducted an interview with the tall striker (1.94 m) on the Maccabi Haifa website.

Piero said: "I feel good, we have a team of players with a lot of talent, I went through the first training sessions with the whole team. I am very happy to know the players and feel good.
