What needs to happen for Hapoel Tel Aviv to be in the top playoffs? The calculation is simple: Bnei Yehuda's victory over Hapoel Haifa will require Nir Klinger's team to beat her room, no matter the result in the Orange game, Hapoel Tel Aviv will only need a point. But whether the worker is among the top six in the table or not, the Reds have a headache over some issues for the rest of the season or for the next season.

Hapoel realizes that they fell this season with Michael Olha, whose place in the last two games striker Omar Damari. Senior officials have speculated that the player will not continue at the end of the season, despite holding a four-year contract.

"Israel Today" has learned that in Olha's contract there is a clause stating that Tel Aviv can cancel the agreement between the parties one season before the termination of their contract, ie on June 15, 2002, but the Hapoel management say that they can be released from Nigerian contract already this summer: "There will be no problem getting out of Oulah at the end of the season," club officials said.

It was also learned that Hapoel had recently received an appeal from Olha's former teammate, Song Lam, who expressed a desire to sign him, given the fact that the league in Vietnam would open in early March. The Reds, of course, were reluctant to hear about it, not because the player shows good ability, the opposite is true, but mainly because they have no other roster options. It is inevitable that in three months this will be a good option for the worker, probably you would prefer to avoid financial compensation.

The problem the attacker has to face is not the only thing that concerns the Reds. The 3: 0 loss to Derby made them wonder about all their recent losses. why? Notice: Of the 16 games Snir Klinger coaches the team, the Reds lost in six games, only in four games out of those six losses, the Reds were defeated - twice 3: 0 by Maccabi Tel Aviv, 5: 0 by Maccabi Haifa, and 4 : 0 from Maccabi Netanya.

"It may not be that if we absorb golf we usually fall apart. You can lose 1: 0 or 2: 1, but almost every time we lose rivalry in the end crushes us," Hapoel says, adding that "we have a very limited team this season. In the top playoffs that would be a great achievement. "

Is this a mental or professional problem? It may be, but not at all certain, that three of the four defeats were for Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, which according to team members "these teams are above the league". Either way, the facts cannot be changed and the group can only hope that such results are not repeated. Once again, even if the team qualifies for the top playoffs.
