Tiktukno, 18.8 (Sport1)

Maccabi Tel Aviv will open a new season in the Premier League tomorrow (Sunday) when they host newcomer Benny Raina in Bloomfield.

Although the Yellows are preparing for the trip to France this Tuesday for the return match against Nice in the playoffs in the Conference League, Kiryat Shalom talked last night about the importance of the match against Reina.

The goal is to start the league on the right foot, unlike what happened in the last two years when the yellows started the league in a faltering way.

Owner Mitch Goldhar will once again be present at the stadium as part of his visit to Israel.

Gate 11 will be closed tomorrow due to the punishment the team suffered at the end of last season at the court, so Bloomfield will not be completely full in any case.

Nevertheless, in Maccabi Tel Aviv they have thawed tickets for sale in several other stands in the stadium.

Coach Vladan Ivic is expected to make quite a few changes to the lineup against Reina compared to the lineup that played on Thursday against the French as part of the division of loads at the beginning of the season and also with a view to the rematch in the Conference League on Thursday.

Dan Glazer, who did not play against Nice due to suspension, is expected to get minutes tomorrow and players such as Maor Kandil, Brendley Kubas, Parfa Giagon, Oskar Gloch, Avi Ricken, and the scorer of the winning goal Stipa Fritza, are also scheduled to play.

Midfielder Dor Peretz may also be included in the squad tomorrow with the intention of giving him his first playing minutes in the team, as part of his gradual return to business.

Along with the preparations for the upcoming pair of games against Reina and Nice, the club is also dealing with matters of strengthening the squad.

As coach Ivic announced in the press conference after the game against Nice, the Yellows are close to a conclusion with at least two players, most likely a foreign defender and defender Eli Dassa, who should join the squad soon.

At Maccabi there was someone who said last night that right now all the focus is on the preparations for the start of the league against Reina and the rematch in France and therefore the club prefers, even if they reach a final closure with players, to release the official announcements only after the rematch in France, so as not to hurt those players who may leave.

Another player who is in the sights of Maccabi Tel Aviv is the player of the Italian Pisa, Yonatan Cohen and Walla!

Sport learned that the Yellows recently offered an amount of about one million euros for the player.

However, at this stage the Italians are demanding over €2m, a sum close to what they paid last year for Cohen.

Sources familiar with the details estimate that this is a very preliminary stage of the contacts and as we get closer to the closing date of the transfer window in most European countries on September 2, things will gain momentum towards closing the deal.

More in Walla!
