Ahead of the double FCSB – Maccabi Tel-Aviv, in the second preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League, the footballers of the group from Israel say that they are ready to give everything to eliminate Gigi Becali from the ultimate interclub competition.
Even with the serious squad problems they have, as well as the massive scandal involving their most valuable footballer, the Angolan Felicio Milson, the Israelis are convinced they can beat FCSB.
Warrior speech before FCSB – Maccabi Tel-Aviv: “We can and must move to the next phase!”
On Tuesday evening, July 23, 2024, from 8:30 p.m., at the Steaua Stadium in Ghencea, FCSB and Maccabi Tel-Aviv will face off in the first leg of the doubleheader in the second preliminary round of the UEFA Champions League.
The game promises to be spectacular, and a large audience is expected in the stands. The fans will come in large numbers to cheer on the team patronized by Gigi Becali, who will try to take a serious option in the race for qualification from the round leg.
The Red-Blues have also received some good news in recent days. The opponent’s best-rated player, the Angolan Felicio Milson, valued at 4,000,000 euros by Transfermarkt, was involved in a monster scandal before FCSB – Maccabi Tel-Aviv. In short, the left wing of the Israeli group forced a transfer to another team and did not properly participate in the last training sessions.
Furthermore, Maccabi Tel-Aviv has agreed to sell 4 important, international footballers who have already left the squad to go to Paris, where they will participate in the Olympic Games summer edition 2024. It’s about Roy Revivo, Osher Davida, Dor Turgeman and Ido Sharar.
Despite the aforementioned, the atmosphere in the squad is positive and, according to the publication Sport5.co.il, the players are convinced that they can eliminate FCSB. At the same time, Felicio Milson would have been forgiven for the disciplinary violations of the last few weeks and would have been reinstated in the team’s training. The Angolan is available for the selection and, even if he is not in the best shape, he will be part of the team that will travel to Bucharest.
We can and must move to the next phase. We have confidence and we believe that even with this batch it is possible and necessary to qualify”, said a player from the Maccabi Tel-Aviv camp, without revealing his identity, according to Sport5.co.il.
Forward Yonatan Cohen will also miss out
In addition to the 4 mentioned above, who have already left for Paris and will not help Maccabi Tel-Aviv in the double with FCSB, the Israelis will not be able to rely on the striker Yonatan Cohen either.
Yonatan Cohen has been informed that he is not part of the coach’s plans and will not join his colleagues on the flight to Romania”, the Israeli journalists from the quoted source also claim.
