Summary of Maccabi Haifa's victory 0:2 over Nes Ziona section (Sport1)

Last season, Maccabi Haifa wanted to equal the club's record and achieve an 11 league victory in a row, but stopped at 10 following a 1:1 home draw against Hapoel Jerusalem.

This evening (Sunday), the champions beat Seksia Nes Ziona 0:2 in Petach Tikva in front of almost 10 thousand green fans, returning their advantage at the top of the Premier League to six points and again standing on 10 consecutive victories, when next week they will host... Hapoel Jerusalem.

Will the script repeat itself?

Dean David scored a fifth round in a row, but was also injured while scoring and was replaced due to a "wooden leg".

As you may remember, Charon Sherry, who was rested, the injured Pierre Cornot and the yellowed Mohamed Abu Fani were absent from the game.

Maccabi Haifa will require Menta Lavi to stay until after the match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Tel Aviv

derby will be on Saturday, the dates for the quarter-finals of the cup have also been published

Coach

admitted after the victory: "I told the players before the game that I trust them. There is a tendency to lose after victories like in the derby, but I trusted them. We also talked about the crowd that filled the stadium in an away game - I think it's the first time something like this has happened - and happily we did what was needed in the game ".

The decision to keep the same lineup: "It gives us freedom to do things in attack. Even if he only scored on a penalty, Omar did it and he deserved it. Overall, I think the game was fine, mediocre ability was enough for us."

On Dean David's injury: "He received a blow, it's not a stretch or anything. It's a wooden leg as they call it. I hope it's not at a severe level and I estimate that he will rest for a few days, be treated and be at our disposal next week."

If Neta Lavi played tonight for the last time in Maccabi Haifa before moving to Japan: "This shouldn't be his last game, I don't understand the publications. As long as he's here we'll use him."

Dolev Haziza

said: "It was very difficult, I came back from an injury that was a bit complicated for me. I didn't think it would take so long, but I came back well and I'm happy that Barak gave me the reins in the derby and now too. I need to get back in shape, I feel that the sharpness is coming back and I'm back in business and can help the team. Barak knows that I can do what he asks in this position on the line, he trusts me and I know that I do things properly. I hope that I make him happy and I hope that as a team we will stay on track."

Towards Hapoel Jerusalem: "It's fate, sometimes it waits for you in the corner. If last season we stopped against them after 10 victories, I hope that this time with the help of the crowd we will do it. I'm happy, happy here and I'm not leaving in January. The crowd loves me and I love them."

"Not leaving".

Defeated coach

said after his first game in Ness Ziona: "The last thing we wanted was to stay with the compliments and not with the points, but we leave encouraged and with the understanding that we have something to work with. The differences in levels are large and this is reflected in two stationary situations, which is a shame, because we held Maccabi Haifa Far from the goal. In half of our situations we were not sharp enough."

If he maintains attacking football: "We didn't come to shut down and cancel, when we had the ball we tried to play and we have to understand that Maccabi Haifa is a team that when it wants to steal, it steals. Maccabi Haifa didn't get into winning situations, but we fell in a corner and a penalty and it's a shame. We knew that even if we took points Bonus, our real league is in the other games. The defense also stood up well today and the substitutes were fine, you can't make complaints about the defensive game."

On his return to the Premier League: "I wasn't there for a long time, I came to the National League as a casual tenant and became a permanent tenant, but the opportunity has come and I will do everything so that it doesn't escape."

added: "It's good that they expected us to score. We lost 0:0 and it could have changed the game, but we fell for the little things and with differences in levels like that you get punished. Shlomi Dora came with a lot of motivation, he came to prove himself in the Premier League and all of us We want to prove that we deserve to stay. We play beautiful attacking football and we are facing forward."

Return to the Premier League after about five years.
