Hapoel Be'er Sheva Faces Key Lineup Decisions Ahead of Red Star Belgrade Clash
Hapoel Be'er Sheva prepares to host Red Star Belgrade on Tuesday in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, aiming to continue their winning streak after defeating Vikingur. This match marks the first without their star player Kings Kangwa, who was sold to Panathinaikos immediately following the second-round game. The team now faces a significant challenge in filling the void left by Kangwa's departure.
Coach Ran Kojuch is still undecided on who will replace Kangwa, alternating between Hamudi Kna'an and Eliel Peretz during the final training session. In defense, Itay Rotman is favored over Jibril Diop for the starting lineup. Kojuch emphasized the importance of preparation, acknowledging Red Star's strengths and the need for his team to be ready and focused.
Addressing his players, Kojuch highlighted belief as the key factor, stating, "We talked about the opponent and what they do well. Belief is above all." The team is set to face a tough challenge but remains determined to advance in the Champions League qualifiers.
