Maccabi Haifa will close the first round tomorrow (Sunday) in a home game against Hapoel Tel Aviv at Sami Ofer Stadium.
The champion will arrive after five consecutive victories in the league, while the club admits that the desire is to go on a break, which will allow the players to rest after 26 games in all formats.
At the same time, coach Barak Becher did not like the ability in the Haifa derby despite the victory and made it clear at the press conference ahead of Hapoel Tel Aviv: "We have to show much better. Hapoel Tel Aviv won the last game, they have a coach who knows football and knows how to punish if you came in a bad way.
We must pick ourselves up and win.
All the last games against Hapoel were difficult."
Regarding the opening of the north stand tomorrow, the coach said: "We changed the decision in a smart way because the club works hard to catch those who try to harm the team. The north stand is a strength for us and I am happy that it will be at our disposal."
Captain Neta Lavi added:
"The road is important to us, we don't think about what happened and want to win. As for the team, I like being there, it's a busy time, but it's fun to play."
In terms of the lineup for tomorrow, there are two doubts for the professional team.
The first is regarding the link, where Muhammad Abu Fani is given priority over Ali Muhammad.
At the front, Nikita Rukavica or Franzadi Piero will go up in 11th.
