Maccabi Haifa yesterday (Thursday) congratulated the decision of the Football Association and the league administration to postpone the league game that was supposed to take place tomorrow against Bnei Sakhnin, this after Yaakov Shahar, the club’s president, contacted Oren Hasson, the chairman of the Football Association, yesterday morning, so that the team could organize and prepare in the optimal way for her return match against the Red Star.

“The association made the right decision not only for us but also for the rest of the representation in Europe. This is an informed decision that can only help Israeli football in general and us in particular,” we praised the decision in Carmel.

On the professional level, Maccabi Haifa is optimistic about the training of the outstanding striker Franzi Pierro, who was replaced in the game against the Red Star after feeling tenderness in the hamstring. “Fiero is not suffering from a tear and should be fit for the game,” said the team. No one in Maccabi Haifa wants to think of a scenario where the team will play in the volcano of Belgrade without the prolific striker, who has scored five goals so far and is becoming the terror of defenses in the international arena.

By the way, the striker’s surroundings say that France is where he came from, but the media do not mention Pierrot’s ability and his conquests so far. Piero, who according to quite a few members of the team is considered one of the great strikers who arrived in Haifa, is on a distinguished list of the three highest paid players in the team, alongside Chiron Sherry and Bogdan Palanich, who is on the verge of signing and being upgraded for two more years. Piero does not have a release clause similar to Palanich who could have left for 1.8 million euros, which guarantees Haifa future peace on this issue.

Coach Barak Bakr is expected to continue with the same lineup that he started with Sami Ofer, although this time too there is likely to be a debate between Dean David, who was less good in the last game, and Omar Atzili, who had to get used to a strange situation for him as a bench player. Despite this, Atzili, when he entered as a substitute, did beautiful things on the field and threatened the goal and Haifa is convinced that the one who was the most significant player in the last two championships will be a significant factor this year as well in Europe and in the league.

The champions are aware of the possibility that the team will play in the Champions League, which will require the team to prepare professionally and add at least two or three players to upgrade the squad. In Haifa, they hope that the long-awaited miracle will happen in which Ali Muhammad will receive citizenship, something that will pave the way for the addition of another foreigner to the team. Behind the scenes there is an attempt by quite a few parties connected to the club to put pressure on the Ministry of Interior to respond to the request.

Ben Shaher, who recently returned to practice after recovering from an injury, is showing good ability in training and was supposed to return to the squad for the game against Sakhnin, which as mentioned was postponed. Ben Shaher’s return will only increase the fight for the team jersey as for the time being Nikita Rukavica and Mavis Chibuta have the advantage.
