Maccabi Tel Aviv rejected today (Tuesday) the claims according to which they violated the regulations of the Premier League management by registering only five Israeli players in the squad for the match against Maccabi Ramat Gan, out of a total of 10 players.
Senior officials in the league administration told Walla today!
Sport because although the governing body's regulations state that "a team that registers five foreigners on the form, must register six Israeli players", in many cases in the past teams only registered five Israelis when they fielded a roster of 10 players and this is not the first time such a case has happened.
The regulations refer to a given and normal situation in which the teams register at least 11 players in the squad.
"As soon as a team registers only 10 players on the form, which is for the purposes of the offense discussion, it can register fewer Israelis, at least that's how this issue was treated in the past."
Coach Oded Ketesh addressed the matter briefly after the game when he said: "First time I'm hearing about it. We'll do a home inspection."

On the floor itself, a 0:11 run in the third quarter helped Maccabi Tel Aviv open a double-digit gap, en route to a 71:88 victory.
Ketch said at the end: "All in all, we kept well for 40 minutes. Offensively, we were not quiet enough in the first half, but in the second half it was a little better. We came up relatively short, there was a problem with fouls, we played with unusual formations. This is not an easy place to play in and we have to To give credit to Ramat Gan - so it's a good victory in the end."
Ketch referred to Lorenzo Brown and Tamir Blatt: "They both rested for a week, I'm glad we got them back healthy and they got through this game safely. The rush is crazy, unfortunately Roman Sorkin also paid that price and we'll miss him. Players will have to step up, we have the medical team The best and the best physiologist, it helps us succeed in the crazy game schedule. This thing is no less significant than what we do in attack or how we guard in defense."
Regarding the ceremony in memory of Lior Liubin, Ketch said: "Every day I think about Lior. Longing. The ceremony was very respectful, very moving. Because of the game schedule, I don't always get to be with Raz and the children, seeing them here was heartbreaking. We will try and try to commemorate him at every opportunity, but not necessarily at the ceremony. Those who knew Lior had a daily influence on him and we would like to make him proud of him, wherever he is not."

Maccabi Ramat Gan coach, Shmulik Brenner: "I felt that we were in business in the third quarter and responded well to the difficulty. It was 55:54 and then they had several three-pointers and suddenly they ended the third quarter with an 11-point difference, and that's where we broke down a bit. We encountered the aggressiveness and intensity of the Euroleague team and we didn't respond Good enough. We lost a bit in attitude. It didn't add up to our momentum. We need to deal better with aggressiveness
on Itai Moskovich and the changes: "It was good with Itai, it's not easy to come to a new team and in the first game to meet Mackib Tel Aviv.
It's a change that will take time to see.
We have a good core, we aspire to be a big team and a big club, it's a process and doesn't happen instantly.
We will learn and become better in the future."
