Hapoel Tel Aviv is not pressured: "We gave up on Diarra long before he signed in Turkey"

Hapoel Tel Aviv will be able to provide its fans with about 1,200 tickets for the return leg against Ludogorets in the Conference League qualifiers, with demand expected to be higher. As recalled, over 5,000 of the team's fans were present at the home game in Hungary on Thursday, in a 2-0 victory.

All squad players are fit, including those who finished with minor injuries. The massage staff is at full capacity these days. On Tuesday, the team will fly to Razgrad. Adrian Kraev has already begun mental preparations for the players ahead of what awaits them.

In the recruitment sector, the club is in talks with two foreign midfielders, with the hope that one of them will sign in the coming days and strengthen the squad. The club did not appreciate the criticism on the matter and said: "Tremendous efforts are being made to sign a high-level player and it will happen, patience will pay off. There are things that are not known and it hurts us; we gave up on Diarra a month and a half before he signed in Turkey, but the headlines continued and it caused us damage."
