Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Haifa 1:3/Sport1
After a week off that he gave the players at the end of the game against Hapoel Haifa, Robbie Keen brought the Maccabi Tel Aviv players back to practice yesterday evening in Kiryat Shalom and actually started the opening shot for the top playoffs that will start this Saturday with the home game against Bnei Sakhnin.
While the players arrived in Kiryat Shalom yesterday, the decision of the Supreme Court was announced not to return to Maccabi Haifa the point they appealed, so the gap between the teams remains at 7 points.
Maccabi Tel Aviv does not like the media celebration that is backed up by citations for attribution and non-attribution from Maccabi Haifa who castigate what will happen from now on and the turning of a yellow championship into a championship with an asterisk.
A player in the team said this morning: "No one can dispute the season we are having. Championships are won with points and not with dropping points, and for our happiness we have to be focused on ourselves, repel all the background noise around us, be ready for the start of the playoffs and remember that even though we have already been crowned, Nothing is finished."
Eyes on the target.

Another player mentioned: "This season we were already ahead by 10 points, we lost 14 points in eight games, so how can we be stupid and think that the championship is in our pocket? If we are tempted to listen to everything that is said around us, we will pay the most expensive price. No one gives Maccabi Tel Aviv Championship on the plate, we need to make the best playoffs possible and meet the tasks we set for ourselves, including the state cup."
Since the Israeli national team was eliminated from the Euro promotion playoffs after the loss to Iceland on Thursday, and the match against Bosnia that was scheduled for tonight was canceled, the Maccabi Tel Aviv players who played in the national team were able to join training yesterday.
With the exception of Orlando Muskara, all the players were available to Robbie Keane.
The club believes that the players who returned with a great sense of disappointment from the team, will pick themselves up, so this should not be an excuse for a bad start to the playoffs.
