Maccabi Haifa will hold its final training today (Friday) ahead of the big match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, which will be held tomorrow at Sami Ofer Stadium. Daniel Sondgren, who returned to Israel yesterday from the Swedish national team, will return to training and start in the lineup.
In fact, it is not yet clear whether Sondergan will be deployed as a right defender or a right brake as he will be deployed in the game against Benfica. Barak Becher is debating whether to start with the formation he uses in the Champions League, which includes three defenders and the placement of Dolev Haziza on the right wing, when Maccabi Tel Aviv plays in a similar formation.
Bakr’s hesitation is serious because the placement of Omar Atzili as a second striker and not as a winger may be at stake. The star’s contribution is greater when playing on the right wing with the opposite foot. In the link, Ali Muhammad is given priority over Muhammad Abu Fani, according to yesterday’s training, but there is still some confusion in this position.
Becher showed the players video clips of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s actions. In Maccabi Haifa, the Yellows are highly valued and for them it is a real season game against a team that will fight for the championship to the end. The battles between Vladimir Ievich and Becher, back in his days at B.S., were always interesting. “The fact that there was a national team break caused greater expectation. Both teams are coming frantically to prove who is the best team in Israel,” said the club.
30,000 fans secured their place in the game, with all tickets sold ahead of time. Unlike the previous game of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Sami Ofer, this time there is not expected to be a separation net between the two audiences.
