Summary: Maccabi Bnei Rayna - Maccabi Tel Aviv 2:0 (Sport 1)
After returning from the World Cup break with three victories in three different frameworks, Maccabi Tel Aviv wants to continue the momentum in the Premier League when it hosts Hapoel Hadera on Saturday (15:00, Sport1).
The previous meeting between the teams somewhere in the second round ended with a 0:6 resounding for the players of Vladan Ivić, who does not expect a repeat in the upcoming meeting.
"Hadera is dangerous with explosive attacks," Ivic said of the opponent, "we are preparing ourselves for a tough game, Hadera is in fifth place. If we put aside the two games in which she conceded a lot, including the previous game against us, in most of her games there are not many goals. They have quality And we have to be ready for that. My players know that we have to be serious and ready from the first second. It will be more difficult than the first meeting. It was the beginning of the season and some of the teams that haven't played in Europe haven't played much yet. This time the game will be tougher."
"The upcoming meeting against Hadera will be more difficult."

About Yonatan Cohen: "We know he hasn't played much in the last year, it's not easy to explain to people who haven't played what it means not to play for a year, that's a long time. He works hard, he played and will play again. You know who he was in the past, and now everyone expects to see the player he was before he left. Now he's back and needs time. It's a process, I expected him not to be able to play from the moment he arrived. In recent times he's acclimated to his new challenge. You have to forget the previous term and that's true for everyone who returned to the club, including me and Dor Peretz." .
Ahead of the transfer window in January, Ivitch said: "We have our plan, we are preparing ourselves for the window. We are active, Maccabi Tel Aviv is a big club that thinks about what moves to make in the transfer window. If we find someone who can help us immediately and wants to come, we will work to bring him Big changes are not possible in January and we don't need big changes. We know we have a lot of players and some will leave."

On Parfa Giagon's lack of minutes: "There are 10 million people in Israel and everyone has their own opinion. People behind the bench are constantly saying to bring in this or that player, you have to be ready to make decisions at the right moments. Parfa is a good, quality player, he shows it."
On the racism on the part of Benny Reina fans towards Giagon: "What happened in the previous game was not good for anyone. These things need to stop, we are all people and need to respect each other, no matter what color we are or what country we are from."
