Ramzi Spori will return to practice tonight (Thursday) in the ranks of Hapoel Beer Sheva after he was absent from training yesterday due to an illness that was reported to team manager Eviatar Iluz last night. Spori initially underwent an antigen test that came out negative and yesterday also a PCR test whose negative result was obtained in the last few hours at the same time as the player has already reported that he feels a significant improvement in his condition.
Spori, who has been in excellent shape since the beginning of the season, will open against Bnei Sakhnin (Sunday, 20:15, Sport2) in the home game that Hapoel Beer Sheva wants to win in order to open a 5-point gap from Maccabi Haifa a day before the champion’s game against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Roni Levy is debating two positions ahead of Sunday. The first is whether to return Helder Lopes to the left-back position and transfer Hatem ‘Abd al-Hamid to the brake position. A second dilemma is in the link between Tomer Yosefi, who started in the last games, and Davida Petruzi, Dor Micha or Roi Gordana. It is estimated that Iyad Abu Abid and Tomer Yussefi will go down to the bench.
At the pre-match press conference, Roni Levy said: “We always like to come home, probably after a win. The support of the crowd is important to us, it gives us a great feeling. I hope they were given a reason to rejoice. The situation in Sakhnin in the first round was very difficult. Sakhnin is a very strong team and we are preparing for a very difficult game. However, we are also strong and we have our ambitions. We will do everything to win with the push we will have at Turner. I do not think the six they got from Maccabi Haifa reflects Sakhnin. It was like an away game. “For them. I guess it will make them even more concentrated against us, we appreciate them very much.”
Regarding reports in Romania of Craiova’s interest, the coach added: “I am not responsible for the publications, neither in Israel nor abroad. I concentrate on Hapoel Beer Sheva and I am all focused on the success of the team, not on anything else. “
Sagiv Yehezkel, who also stood in front of the microphones, commented that he does not interview often and has not yet conquered the season: “I like to show my good things on the grass and less talk about myself. For a football player not everything goes smoothly, things can change along the way. To do a break-in season, it takes a lot of myself and I hope it’s the season. “I have been conquering since April, but if I start to address it and want it by force – it will not come to me the way I want. I prefer to concentrate on hard work and be whole with myself.”
