Maccabi Haifa ended last night's third game in the Champions League with a loss, this time 3:1 against Juventus in Turin, but similar to the games against Benfica and PSG, the greens left with a sense of failure.
"We managed to embarrass them in the last half hour, we didn't leave the game even at 0:2" said players in the team, "we have something to sell in this house despite the losses. We finished the round with a feeling that we can get points in this house."
Striker Dean David continues to receive praise for his ability, this time after scoring the Greens' first away goal in the Champions League.
"Dean came back to himself, his confidence came back, and with it also his sharpness," complimented the professional team.
David is expected to start at 11 on Saturday against Bnei Raina, and with him also the rest of the Israelis who started last night on the bench following the Yom Kippur fast.

Neta Lavi is expected to start in midfield, most likely in place of Ali Muhammad, who felt pain in his ankle, a memory of an injury from which he recently recovered.
Along with him, Dolev Haziza and Omar Atzili will also return, at the expense of one of the brakes, Mavis Chibuta and Franzadi Piero.
The defender Sean Goldberg talked about the feelings between another game in the group stage of the Champions League and the Premier League on Saturday and said: "It was an intense, tough game, against a typical Italian team and unfortunately it was not enough. It sucks that we leave with compliments and not with points but there are good parts to take With us for the next games. There were minutes at 1:2 when we were worth the second goal. Unfortunately, we conceded the third, which ended the game. There are things we will take with us that will give us confidence going forward."
About the quality of the opponents at home, Goldberg said: "There are very high-quality players at these levels, you can see it against all the teams that are with us at home. Interchanges, intensity, speed, sharpness, technique and everything at the highest level. We see that we are there, but unfortunately at the moment the points They are not coming. We hope they will come later."

In conclusion, the defender spoke about over 3000 greens who accompanied the team and said: "There are no such things, a big nose. Even the fans of Juventus stayed to see us return to them three times. This is the best crowd there is. On the pitch we heard them throughout the game, more than the fans Theirs. It's amazing, this audience deserves a big hug and I hope that in the end we will give them what they want."
Towards Saturday, for the game against Bnei Rayna, Goldberg clarified: "It's a very sharp switch that needs to be made. Once we didn't make it and we lost, so we need to make it as quickly as possible."
