Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Maccabi Tel Aviv 0:2 (Sport1)

After the painful loss to Maccabi Haifa, tomorrow (Monday, 20:30) Maccabi Tel Aviv will try to take all the nerves out of Hapoel Tel Aviv in the first derby of the season.

The yellows haven't lost to the reds in the league since April 2014 and this time too they arrive as clear favorites, knowing that a win will elevate them to first place in the table given the loss of points by Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Jerusalem.



This morning the team held a press conference, in which Vladan Ivić commented on the balance between the teams: "We don't think about past games, and give our opponent full respect. It will be a difficult game and we will have to be focused and ready physically and tactically. Drapić is an experienced coach who has worked in many teams in Israel, he Playing in a specific style, his teams are always prepared and physical."



The coach was asked about the loss to Maccabi Haifa and replied: "After the game I said that the better team won, but they weren't much better than us, the differences were small. Everything went according to our plan, in the last 15-20 minutes we tried to win, we made substitutions, we arrived For some very good situations. Obviously we can't be satisfied with the result, but this is football and we have to prepare for the next game and react."



Ivić was asked about Derrick Lucassen, who has rarely played so far, and specifically referred to his method: "As soon as I arrived here, I tried to choose the best method according to the squad. What I prefer to play is something else, but you have to be realistic, you have to understand as quickly as possible which You have players and build the best method. For me, this is the best method, not because I prefer one method or another, it's what we have. We want to be the dominant team, the one that creates situations."

Nir Biton added: "I feel good, I didn't really have an injury, a bit of back pain that prevented me from training during the last week. I am 100 percent fit and available to the team. Fortunately, I got to play in a few not-small derbies in my career, I heard a lot about the hill derby Avivi, of course there is prestige here and something that goes beyond football. For us players, this game is as important as any game in the league and you have to take three points. Wherever the coach needs me, there I will be, it doesn't matter to me where I play. Favorites? If you don't come with the right attitude and mentality That's right, you won't be a favorite. We saw what happened yesterday in the league, with a team that came in as a favorite. We'll have to come as prepared as we can, and if we do that, I believe it will be fine. What happened in Haifa happened and passed, that's what's good about football - there's no time to lower your head Just like we didn't lose the championship at Sami Ofer, we won't take the championship if we win tomorrow."



Bitton said about Eran Zahavi: "I don't think I need to defend him, Eran is one of the greatest footballers who was here. What he has done in recent years is indescribable, it cannot be described. He is a great winner, he feeds off all these criticisms, And precisely when people reflect on his abilities, that's what motivates him and gives him the drive. I have no doubt that Eran will contribute to us, he has already contributed to us this season."
