Hapoel Be'er Sheva's coach is reportedly considering significant lineup changes for their upcoming league match against Hapoel Tel Aviv, following a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Greece's OFI Crete in the Europa League. Club sources described the team's performance as lacking quality and disappointing, with specific criticism directed at conceding "goals that should not be conceded." The team also struggled with final passes and actions inside the penalty area.
The coach's lineup in the European match was partly chosen with the Hapoel Tel Aviv game in mind, resting key players like Igor Zlatanovic, Amir Ganach, Javan East, Miguel Vitor, and Pedro Amador, who are now expected to be available. However, the absence of Eliel Peretz and Lucas Natura was felt, with Amankwah Forson and Niv Yehoshua appearing fatigued and underperforming. The team currently lacks direct replacements for these players, meaning Forson and Yehoshua may have to play again despite their struggles.
Adding to the team's concerns is the situation with Itay Rotman, who has been excluded from the squad for the last two games for professional reasons, losing his place in the rotation. "Every player in the squad needs to perform better than they did," a source close to the team stated, emphasizing the disappointing nature of their play.
One potential surprise the coach might implement against Hapoel Tel Aviv, coached by Eliniv Barda, is a tactical shift to a five-man defense.
