Hapoel Haifa Coach Aims to Exploit "Weaknesses" in Beitar Jerusalem Match

Hapoel Haifa coach Haim Silvas is preparing his team for a challenging match against Beitar Jerusalem in the fifth round of the Israeli Premier League on Saturday. Silvas anticipates a difficult game with a strong home-field advantage for Beitar, even though it will be played at Bloomfield Stadium.

"We know exactly what Beitar Jerusalem's strengths and weaknesses are," Silvas stated, expressing confidence in his team's preparation. He acknowledged Beitar's current momentum and strong fan support but emphasized that Hapoel Haifa is coming with its own objectives and determination to secure points.

Silvas also addressed the issue of his players being overlooked for the Olympic national team. He expressed disappointment regarding the non-selection of Yead Gonen, stating that Gonen's consistent performance on the field should eventually lead to recognition. He also mentioned goalkeeper Yoav Jerafi, suggesting he also deserves a place on the national team, though acknowledging the difficulty of selection for his position.
