In depth

Former Maccabi Haifa goalkeeper Georgy Yarmakov spoke in an interview in his homeland Ukraine about his time in Israel. According to him, the level of passion people in Israel have for football is simply crazy, and the cashiers were angry at him after losses with the club.

Yarmakov described how the Greens reacted to his decision to protest against Torpedo Zhodino: he refused to shake hands with the players of the Belarusian team, and his teammates in Haifa supported him.

He also addressed awareness of the war in his homeland. According to him, people in Israel did not understand the situation in Ukraine, although the people there are not indifferent, but first of all follow what is happening at home.
