Eli Dasa, a new signing for Maccabi Haifa and captain of the Israeli national team, is set to make his debut training session with the club on Wednesday. Dasa, a right-back, joins the team for the remainder of the Premier League season. The club anticipates that his versatility, capable of playing both fullback and center-back, will provide defensive options. During a discussion on the sports program 103FM, pundit and former player Gili Vermouth expressed skepticism about Dasa's impact. Vermouth noted that Dasa will turn 34 in December and, while acknowledging his past dominance at Maccabi Tel Aviv, questioned his current level. He pointed out Dasa's recent role as a center-back in a three-man defense, a system that limits his attacking contributions. Vermouth also mentioned that Dasa is replacing Batei, a player who was brought in by Lior Refaelov. Ultimately, Vermouth stated, "In Eli Dasa's current condition, I don't know how much he upgrades Maccabi Haifa."
