Summary of Maccabi Haifa's 1:1 draw with Hapoel Hadera (Sport1)
For years they have been talking about the difficulty of achieving a third championship in a row in Israeli football.
In the case of the current Maccabi Haifa, mentally the feeling is that it is on its way to the fourth championship since the experience it had this year in Europe, up to the group stage and in the group stage itself, there was peak, madness and intensity at the level of a title.
And from this situation, Barak Becher is now looking for solutions, he tries and can't find, he changes and hopes that it will happen, but at the moment it doesn't work and last night (Wednesday) the 1:1 against Hapoel Hadera was the fourth game in a row without a win for the Greens, who saw Beer Sheva Approaching up to 2 points from them.
Barak Becher does not like to refer to the word crisis, he prefers to deal with solutions.
He does not try to hide anything and said after the game honestly: "It is clear to us that we are in a bad time. We are not able to play our game. ".
He does not refer to the word crisis, he deals with solutions.

Just to understand what is happening to Maccabi Haifa: in 18 league rounds, they lost only 6 points with 16 wins and two losses.
In the last three rounds, she lost 7 points against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Rayna and Hedra, more than all of the first 18 rounds and she certainly gives her rivals an opportunity to get closer and maybe even pass her soon, Beer Sheva narrowed the gap to 2 points and Maccabi Tel Aviv with two draw results In the derby and against Sakhnin, she missed an opportunity to stick to it, but like Maccabi Haifa, this opportunity seems still valid for the near future.
"We also as a team check ourselves and it turns out that it is not good enough. We have time to analyze and think about how things are not working. In the end, a victory on Saturday will return a lot of energy and confidence to the players, and that is what we focus on," said Becher, but it is not certain that even an unconvincing victory will make the It.
The team has already won several narrow victories and that did not change this period.
Perhaps losing the first place in the coming cycles will not be a disaster and will cause some kind of drama that will change something and cause Maccabi Haifa to enter the playoffs from the underdog position, a kind of shock that may also reduce pressure.

"Right now we need to support the players, strengthen them, raise their confidence. They are having a good season overall and I have no doubt that they have the ability," said Bachar, who must strengthen his players in front of the media as well, but he has his concerns.
He will try mentally fresher players like Saba and Jaber, who saw the change upon their entry.
He has to find something else to keep him in the game, he tries Goni Naor.
Sondgren and Corno will slowly get in better shape and when they are in shape they are an advantage over the opposition.
They joined Maccabi Haifa only in the summer so to talk about mental difficulty regarding the two is not true, they are simply after injuries and things take time, including Dolev Haziza who will start providing numbers.
Haziza is a beast of prey, he knows how to get out of difficult times and he will be there for Bacher, if not now then in the playoffs.
And yes, it is impossible without referring to Omer Azili and Zaron Shari.
In Atzili's case, like everyone else, he needed the World Cup break, but throughout his career, he doesn't come back well from the breaks of a long break or injury, slowly moves back and at the end of the day, he is the benchmark, the one who opens a game with a goal or an assist from nothing and then everything looks different.
A similar period also occurred last year when Atzili returned from injury.
As for Sheri, it is not the same player we knew, and this leads to fears that it is not the same since the new contract, as befits difficult times.
A player in the team summed up the current period by saying yesterday: "Everyone wants, they try, they don't understand what's going wrong, they do the same things that made us defeat opponents and made the players act in their pants against us, it will come back."
But Haifa fans should not be worried, they should simply understand that success has a mental price, and hence wish for the solutions that Bacher and the team will find and on the other hand continue to accompany, support and encourage even in bad games and avoid transmitting unnecessary pressure and nerves that do not add to the players.
This is Maccabi Haifa's boat today, it needs the hands of everyone who cares about it to get through this period above the water.
Muhammad Abu Fani, who suffered from a wooden leg and groaned in pain last night, is doubtful to sit, as well as Ali Muhammad who was injured and replaced.
