Summary: Maccabi Netanya - Maccabi Haifa 2:0 (S]vert 1)
1.
Satisfaction in Maccabi Haifa after the victory yesterday (Monday) 0:2 over Maccabi Netanya away and increasing the gap at the top back to four points.
The team was very worried during the first half which ended without goals, mainly because of the winter weather conditions.
"We just wanted the half to end," admitted a player in the team. "It was simply impossible to play against the wind and in the conditions. It was impossible to make one normal pass."
In the end, the Greens won thanks to goals from Charon Sherry and Dean David in the second half and now the team will begin preparations for the top game against Hapoel Beer Sheva.
"It was important to get to the game against Beer Sheva with a four-point gap," said an official in Haifa, "we knew the game would be a minefield, even games like this have to go through."
The team complimented Barak Becher for the substitutions and the change in formation that instantly upgraded Haifa and led to the second goal.
The coach explained that he felt that the team was about to suffer and therefore decided to change the formation.
Rami Gershon was praised for his entry and for being able to stabilize the defense.
Besides Gershon, Sherry and David were also praised.
The one who didn't like his substitution was Omer Azili, but at the end the player relaxed and celebrated with his friends and the team were not excited: "It is clear that Omer left disappointed. He is a star and always hungry to score and cook so he always wants to be on the grass."

2. In recent weeks, Haifa has been dealing with the goalie issue in light of Josh Cohen's injury.
After not all the members of the professional team think that Ofir Marciano or Boris Kleiman will upgrade the team, the Greens began to try to locate Jewish goalkeepers around the world due to the impossibility of adding more foreigners.
Nikita Chaikin is of course the prominent name, but in Haifa they are doing tests and trying to reach more Jewish goalkeepers.
At all times, Roi Mishpet receives backing from the team and messages that they trust him, and last night he indeed demonstrated a very high ability when he recorded two saves of safe goals.
Mishfati received great compliments as well as encouragement from his friends and team members at the end of the game.
"It doesn't surprise us," said an official in the team, "We know who Roy is and how good a goalkeeper he is. We said in advance that we are not in a hurry with anything. Roy is an excellent first goalkeeper."

3. In the 83rd minute, Bakr made a double and meaningful substitution when he brought in Dolev Haziza and Neta Lavi.
The first returned after almost three months of absence and received massive encouragement from the crowd and the second entered one of his last games in the team.
Lavi will leave for Gamba Osaka when the Greens are expected to close all terms with the Japanese team in the coming days.
In Haifa they will ask Levi to stay until he is asked to leave for Japan and they will wait for an answer, and the hope is that he will play against Maccabi Tel Aviv on January 23.
The new coach of the Japanese, Danny Poyatos will talk to Lavie with the official signing and coordinate his arrival with him.
The Spaniard himself will arrive in Japan on January 9 and will begin building his pre-season training.
Haifa will increase efforts to find a replacement for Lavi when two players are expected to join the team.
The first should be Aviel Zargari, who will arrive as a addition to the squad in light of Mahmoud Jaber's ongoing injury and the fact that Maor Levy will go out on loan when the transfer window opens.
Apart from Zargari, Haifa wants to strengthen their senior midfielder, with the candidates being Goni Naor, Aden Kartsev and Biram Kiel.
