Maccabi Haifa finished the European journey and turned to pick the third championship in a row.
Barak Becher's plan was simple and sharp as a razor: let the big stars rest for a half that we will pass safely, then bring in the heavy guns led by who if not the wonderful Omar Atzili who is also putting up incredible numbers this season, and in my opinion is on his way to a double-double of goals and assists for the second time in a row.
Despite the final result and despite an amazing second half, we have to be fair and pay attention to the first half.
There is something very concerning about the depth of the team's roster.
Except for the sparks of Chibuta, our substitutes are not good enough and do not prove themselves as those who deserve to be integrated into the lineup.
Because of this, Gal Alberman, Bacher and the team will have to strengthen the squad already in the upcoming transfer window and add three-four reinforcement players who will be worthy of fighting for the team jersey to add depth for the second part of the season.
In the bottom line, Maccabi Haifa marks a big V for the first of three games in the coming week before the World Cup break.
Every fan would buy at this point after an exhausting European season 4 points gap at the top of the table.
This coming Wednesday, the Haifa derby will take place in light of the severe tensions that prevail between the ultras camps of the fans and following the theft of Maccabi's equipment from the warehouses in Sami Ofer.
First, there will be quite a few children, women and families present at the game who will come to enjoy football and it is time to call for a sporting war only on the grass and avoid any kind of violence.
Maccabi faces the derby there, I'm sure that the best 11 that will be available to Becher will start, hoping to mark another big V in a wonderful season that this club is going through together with the legions of the green crowd going through.
And one more little thing - Rami Gershon, a great M-B-R-V-K for his first goal in the Premier League.
A great athlete who always comes in and gives his soul even from the edge of the bench.
Let's face the derby.
