The slap that Hapoel Tel Aviv suffered in the loss (2: 1) to Hapoel Kfar Saba, where it looked very bad, caused the Reds to pick up gear in everything related to strengthening the team in an urgent manner.
Israel Today has learned that Hapoel Tel Aviv's management contacted Maccabi Netanya striker Guy Melamed a few days ago, who last week was banned from training with other Netanya players, in an attempt to persuade him to sign with the team. At this stage there are large gaps between the amounts the Reds are willing to pay The player compared to what he earned in the diamond ranks, when Betar Jerusalem also approached him, and at the same time his agents are examining options for him in Europe as well.
Apart from the attack, Hapoel are afraid of the defense, which according to players in the team, "looks like a joke, we were a shame and disgrace against Kfar Saba", and will try to close with stopper Eddie Gottlieb, who has been close to signing several times, but certain things related to the contract have changed. . Hapoel hopes that the saga with Gottlieb will end this week.
Around the club there are fears that "if 4 players do not sign we will fight hard at the bottom". At Hapoel there is a big disappointment from Omar Brown and Naban Kotlia, who did not start in the squad against KPS and may pay the price, when according to the latest developments it seems that Brown may be cut soon.
Hapoel also does not rule out the addition of a connection in the near future, when the candidates are, as is well known, Ramzi Spori and Dan Einbinder, as first published in "Israel Today", but at this stage the connection is not enthusiastic about leaving Betar Jerusalem.
