Maccabi Haifa President Yaakov Shahar addressed the team on Wednesday, stating his intention to sell the club only to an owner who will "upgrade" it, emphasizing the team's focus on current season success. Shahar, who attended a morning training session, expressed satisfaction with the team's improvement and urged them to continue their positive trajectory.
The team is preparing for a crucial match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Monday, aiming to maintain their league leadership. Shahar, along with General Manager Itzik Ovadia and Coach Barak Bakhar, also observed a youth team game.
Professionally, Coach Bakhar faces significant decisions regarding the left-back position, deliberating between Tsunam, who trained in the role, and Kenny Saif, the recent starter. Tsunam's defensive capabilities might allow Bakhar to deploy a three-defender formation with Nigel Lonwijk and Noam Shtayfman.
Further lineup considerations include Ali Mohamed and Yarin Levi competing for a midfield spot. Yalla Betaye is expected to start, while Eli Dasa will likely wait another week for his debut in the starting eleven. The match will be held at Sammy Ofer Stadium.
