"When Ali Mohamed scores, it is a player worth 10 million euros" | Israel today

Within one week, Maccabi Haifa defeated the champions of Greece and Cyprus with an identical score of 0:4.

Last night (Wednesday), against Apollon Limassol from Cyprus, the greens played one of their biggest games in recent years, but coach Barak Becher took the trouble to bring the players to the ground and told them: "We have 24 hours to celebrate and then we will prepare for the rematch."

In an interview after the game, Bakr complimented all the players, but midfielder Ali Muhammad, who scored a brace for the first time in his career, stood out above all of them.

"Ali made a game with a score of 10", they cheered in Haifa, "when Ali Muhammad makes numbers, he is a player of 10 million euros minimum".

Midfielder Dolev Haziza also received praise for his ability and he himself said: "At night we dream of the tune of the Champions League, but we are not there yet. We have the return game next week and then another round."

As for Haziza, there was some debate as to whether to get him a third yellow card that would prevent him from playing in the second leg in Nicosia, but he ended up being substituted before then.

Beyond that, the club praised the physical fitness the team is in at such an early stage of the season.

"When the opponents fell off their feet, it seems that we just started playing" they said in Haifa.

Beyond last night's victory, Haifa hopes to close the story in Nicosia, when qualifying for the playoff stage is worth 8.6 million euros minimum for the club, which is about NIS 30 million.

If the Greens do the unbelievable and qualify for the Champions League, the amount will increase to 15.8 million euros, about 55 million shekels.

If and when you complete the task, Haifa will look for another brakeman for the staff.
