Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Vladimir Ivitz decided to return to the staff Parfait Goyagonwho will be removed from the list of 20 players in the draw against Nes Ziona and will be available to the Serbian coach tonight (Tuesday, 20:15) in the away game against Hapoel Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium.
As I recall, after the game on Saturday, Ivić clarified that Parfa did not dress and that he is keeping the reason to himself. Now, the coach of the Yellows has decided to take Dan Bitton out of the squad again. The one who will return to the squad, and it is possible that he will even start, is Dan Glazer who returned from suspension.
According to the final training session, it seems that Gabi Kanikovski will return to the yellow team and it is not impossible that Andre Geraldes will too. Yonatan Cohen, who came off the bench for a renewed debut in Maccabi Tel Aviv in the game against Nes Ziona, is expected to get more significant playing minutes this time.
After Maccabi Haifa’s victory, Ivić’s team knows that another test will cause pressure in the system before the World Cup break. The coach, by the way, decided to give between a week and ten days off to the players, after which a training camp will be held abroad.
In another matter, Maccabi Tel Aviv will stand trial tomorrow (Wednesday) following a riot by its fans in the game against Hapoel B.S. This is not the first offense of the yellows in this section. The team will claim that the BS player, Helder Lopes, teased the crowd and as a result the atmosphere heated up. According to the estimates, the yellow players will be fined.
