Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to face Sabah in Baku on Tuesday in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League playoff, competing for a spot in the group stage and aiming to become the fourth Israeli team ever to reach this elite level. Our correspondent in Baku, Nadav Yaakobi, reports that Sabah posed significant challenges in the first half, but believes coach Ran Kozuch is well-prepared for the task. Kozuch is described as an analytical and modern coach who has shown continuous progress over the past four years, excelling in attention to detail and leveraging technology extensively in his coaching methods.

Yaakobi highlights the noticeable improvement in players under Kozuch's guidance, citing goalkeeper Ofir Marciano and defender Miguel Vitor as examples of enhanced performance and youthful vigor. The coaching staff's effective work is evident in their high-pressing style and ball movement strategy from the back, influenced by top global coaches, particularly from Spanish football. This approach underlines Kozuch's ambition to lead Hapoel Be'er Sheva to historic success in European competition.
