Hapoel Be'er Sheva Coach Omits Eliel Peretz Again Ahead of Crucial Champions League Match
Hapoel Be'er Sheva is preparing for a critical Champions League qualifier against Vikingur, with coach Ran Kozuch making several changes to the lineup. Despite these adjustments, midfielder Eliel Peretz has once again been left out of the starting eleven. Peretz has been a key player for Be'er Sheva over the past two seasons and played a significant role in their championship victory. Recently, he played 74 minutes in the 3-1 loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Super Cup before being substituted for Niv Yehoshua, who has since been favored in the two matches against Vikingur.
It remains unclear whether Peretz's exclusion is a tactical decision or a temporary measure. The upcoming match will also mark the final appearance of Kings Kangwa for Be'er Sheva before his transfer to Panathinaikos, potentially opening a midfield spot that Peretz and Yehoshua could fill together in the future.
