Maccabi Tel Aviv will meet in the conference league playoffs the French side Nice, which is considered the favorite before the game. The team from seventh place in France went directly to the playoffs as unranked, and sounded relaxed before the match. At least according to her coach Lucian Fabre.
Fabre was asked if he saw the game against Aris Thessaloniki: “I couldn’t follow the game, I will watch today. The TV didn’t work, I don’t know why. The game schedule doesn’t bother me, the flight is a bit far, but if we want to go up, we will fly to Tel Aviv and come straight back.” .
Nice opened the season with a 1:1 against Toulouse and will meet Strasbourg. Fabre commented on this: “We are only concentrating on France, the Israeli team will arrive afterwards. The load can have an effect, but we are professionals.”
