Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa FC are the only top-flight side in Europe with a 100 per cent record having won their first eleven games. Huge gapOne third of the way through the 2005/06 season, Haifa have established a 12-point lead at the top of the Premier League and look to be on course for a third consecutive title - the first such hat-trick since Hapoel Petach-Tikva FC's five-season winning run between 1959 and 1963. Israeli giantsSince their maiden championship of 1983/84, Haifa have become giants in Israeli football, claiming five of the last six league crowns, and as they proved in coming from behind to beat Maccabi Netanya FC 3-1 on Saturday, Roni Levy's team are a cut above their opponents this term. Young coachThe 39-year-old coach, who joined the staff at Haifa after a knee injury ended his career in 1998, told uefa.com that "seriousness, professionalism and creativity" were his side's key strengths, adding: "I believe in solid defending, pressure all over the pitch and intelligent movement off the ball. 'Perfection is the key'The one-time Netanya striker, [url=http://kidsnkinship.org/Mentor.html]cheap nfl jerseys from china[/url] who was converted to a central midfielder by coach Giyora Spiegel at Bnei Yehuda Tel-Aviv FC, has enormous ambition for his team. "Perfection is the key and my intention is to improve the side in every aspect all over the pitch," he said. Famous seasonWhen his mentor, Spiegel, moved to coach Haifa in 1992/93, Levy joined him, taking his place in a star-studded lineup that won the league without losing a game and reached the second round of the 1993/94 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, before falling to eventual finalists Parma FC. 'A serious club'Such a combination of domestic and [url=http://www.authorvisitmatch.com/image/]cheap authentic jerseys[/url] European success is what Levy has yearned for since taking over from Itzhak Shum, who led Haifa into the UEFA Champions League group stage. "We are now approaching what I envisaged," said Levy. "We are a serious club, a serious team and a serious group of players." All-star teamThat "serious group" involves no fewer than nine Israeli internationals along with a veritable South American colony in the form of Argentinians Roberto Colautti and Fernando Lurfise, Brazilians Xavier Dirceu and Gustavo Boccoli as well as Chilean Rafael Ollara. Thoroughbred squadKeeping a lid on such a thoroughbred [url=http://www.kotaradio.com/fckeditor/]cheap jerseys nfl[/url] squad is no small task for Levy, who describes the pressures of his everyday life as: "Controlling a hyper-active team while raising the level of play, pleasing the fans and nurturing the talented youngsters who are pushing for a place." In-form playersAt the moment he seems to be bringing the best out of his players. Michael Zandberg and Yaniv Katan have scored five goals apiece, Boccoli six while creating five more, and Idan Tal and Colautti have hit the best form of their careers in the midst of this tremendous start to the season. European angleEurope is the next target on the horizon for the coach, who with the backing of club president Jacob Shahar, is looking to forge an Israeli hybrid of AFC Ajax and AC Milan. Rosenborg BK and Malmö FF have blocked Haifa's path into the UEFA Champions League in the last two campaigns, but Levy expects better in 2006/07. Lessons learned"We played brilliantly in both those ties but twice we had players sent off and [url=http://tonichilds.com/news/wj.html]wholesale mlb jerseys[/url] conceded stupid goals," he said. "But I am sure we have learned our lesson. What has happened since in the league is proof of how serious [url=http://www.racecabinet.com/Pages/Garage.html]whoelsale soccer jerseys free shipping[/url] we really are."
