Hapoel Ramat Gan, reeling from a heavy home defeat to Beitar Jerusalem, is set to face Hapoel Haifa on Saturday. The team, known as the "Ordonim," is experiencing unpleasant feelings due to their recent performance and result.
Coach Massai Dego has expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's weak showing, holding a particularly tough players' meeting during the week. Dego criticized his squad, stating, "It's impossible that we concede so easily, zero aggression, indifference. I expect you to give everything on the field, we cannot look like this." He emphasized that he will not tolerate a naive or indifferent attitude, demanding full commitment and a decisive response on the field this Saturday.
Following the loss to Beitar, Hapoel Ramat Gan's midfield is expected to undergo a significant overhaul in the starting lineup against Hapoel Haifa. Serjan Mihajlovic is anticipated to return to the midfield to stabilize the team, with the coaching staff relying heavily on his experience and toughness. Mihajlovic had played as a right-back in the previous game. Christopher Boniface and Moshe Semel, who did not start against Beitar, are also contenders for starting positions.
Meanwhile, right-back Noam Schwartz, on loan from Maccabi Tel Aviv, will definitely be absent as he continues to recover from an injury. Yablo Gatacho, who was benched in the last match, is expected to be reinstated in the starting lineup. The club recognizes this upcoming match as a critical test of character for their season and hopes the lineup changes will usher in a new path forward.
