Effort to sign with Peretz and Dessa for the playoffs.

Praise for Hagana and Zahabi

Maccabi Tel Aviv will resume contacts with the team's defender and midfielder in the hope of closing final details with them and signing them up for the first game against Nice.

The back five under the direction of Sharan Yeni squeezed out compliments, and Vazhabi decided again: "Even he never dreamed of such a side."

And when will a foreign brake arrive?

Summary: Aris Thessaloniki - Maccabi Tel Aviv 1:2 (Sport1)

Great excitement in Maccabi Tel Aviv after qualifying for the playoff stage of the Conference League where the team will meet French Nice.

The first game will be played in Bloomfield on Thursday and the second leg in France.

The entire management team of Maccabi Tel Aviv was present last night (Thursday) at the game in Thessaloniki and everyone was very tense in the final minutes after the expulsion of Dan Glazer.

At the end, despite the 2:1 loss, there were hugs, kisses and much joy in the dressing room area.

"A bunch of men", they said last night in Maccabi Tel Aviv about the players.

"You can talk about many things, but an atmosphere like the one here is not found in many fields. And we were down to ten players for half an hour, yet everyone gave their all to move to the next level. It's simply exciting to see how much the players invested themselves against a quality opponent and in a very home stadium."

Great close game.

Those who drew a lot of compliments were the defensive players.

Although Maccabi Tel Aviv lost the game and conceded two goals, the first on a dubious penalty, the feeling for everyone was that Maccabi Tel Aviv gave everything.

Sharan Yeni at the age of 35 and eight months led the defensive line, with Nir Biton next to him who proves once again how right it was to add him and Enrik Saborit who played quietly and confidently.

Andre Geraldes on the right side gave one of his best games in Maccabi Tel Aviv and on the left Matan Hozaz did a great job in a position he was not born into.

Along with the whole back five, it was Eran Zahavi again from the bench with a typical goal which in the end was also the goal that advanced Maccabi Tel Aviv to the next round.

"There are no more words to describe Eran," said the group last night.

"Even he couldn't have dreamed of such an opening of two such dramatic and important goals in his pair of games, when he only comes off the bench."

This morning Maccabi Tel Aviv will renew contacts with Dor Peretz and Eli Dessa to finalize all the details with them.

Maccabi Tel Aviv has to submit to UEFA by midnight its squad for the matches against Nice, but it can still register two additional players up to 24 hours before the first match, so it has time. Peretz and Dessa are supposed to sign with the team and be in the squad for the matches against Nice, but doubt If they will be able to help since they did not train in a team setting all summer.

As for a foreign defender, Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to make moves to close with one of these, but after the meetings against Aris Thessaloniki, the pressure has decreased a little as Bitton, Yeni and Savorit did a very good job in the pair of games and they will also continue together In the lineup next Thursday.
