After two consecutive losses in the league, a reality that Maccabi Netanya has not gotten used to since the arrival of Bnei Lam, the Diamonds will be hosted tomorrow (Saturday, 19:30) by Bnei Sakhnin, a field that has brightened their face in recent years.
throughout the week, Benny Lem He preferred not to talk too much with his players about the 2:0 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv in the last round. Yesterday, he showed them a clip in which he presented the game against the Reds at the end of last season (in which the team ended in a draw but dominated), and the game at the beginning of the week and said: “Look at the differences between the games. So we had more players on the ball and several players jumped on each ball. This is how I want to see you, like at the beginning of the season, like in the games against Istanbul.”
From the Netanya squad, which is missing the injured Omri Gundelman and Patrick Twamsi, who will return only in a few weeks, Liran Rothman, who suffers from ankle pain and is completely unfit, will also be absent. On the other hand, Aviv Avraham will return to the squad and may start in the lineup.
The coach of Maccabi Netanya has several doubts: in the back, he is debating whether to continue to give the credit to Shai Constantine or to bring back Karim Jaber to the lineup. In the midfield, the captain Aviv Avraham and also the purchased midfielder Eitan Azoulai, who did not participate in the last game, are fighting for Rothman’s place. In the front part, the coach practiced a number of options, with Marik Berko, Amir Berkovich and Gil Yitzhak only two starting, in Netanya they will continue to show patience towards the German midfielder and believe that he will prove himself in the future.
Estimated composition: Itamar Nitzan, Shai Constantine (Karam Jaber), Raz Shlomo, Flaman Glavov, Florian Hartherz, Aden Kartsev, Boris Ino, Aviv Avraham (Eitan Azoulai), Erich Barko, Gil Yitzhak (Amir Berkovic) and Igor Zlatanovich.
