The summary of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s victory (courtesy of Maccabi Tel Aviv – the official website)>>>
Although he stated that he would have preferred to play with a different system and not with a trio of defenders, Maccabi Tel Aviv feels that Vladimir Ivitz is not taking advantage of the break to change his formation. Throughout the two halves yesterday (Wednesday) at the training camp in Turkey, Maccabi played with a formation of three defenders in the victory over Antalyaspor: ” He still doesn’t have the wing players he needs to change his formation,” said an official at Maccabi Tel Aviv, “if by January we find the player we’re looking for, then we’ll talk differently.”
Nir Bitton will arrive in Turkey today after being tried in Scotland for speeding and having to pay a fine of 4500 euros within a month. Bitton will not take part in the game against Hapoel Jerusalem and it seems that alongside Derrick Lucassen and Henrik Savorit, one of the years will start: Sharan Yeni or Shahar Piven.
The one who receives compliments in the camp so far is Matan Huzaz. The player who has not been counted since the match in Doha against Bnei Sakhnin, in which he displayed a very lukewarm ability, may get a renewed opportunity. Dan Glazer continues to rest since the injury in the national team and did not participate in yesterday’s game.
