1.
Most of the players have been dropped into the locker room at the end of the final practice Hapoel Beer Sheva last night ahead of FC Viktoria Plzeň rising departing in group stage of European League (Thursday, 20:30 Sports 2).
But Joshua was still on the grass in the colony, looking to catch another Hapoel Beer Sheva player for a two-touch ball game.
"If he could, he would have stayed here to sleep on the field and not come to the hotel," said one of the team members who was already waiting to collect the balls.
Joshua said goodbye to the ball after a few minutes and went down to the tunnel for the last time, not before sending one last look at the lawn he would climb tonight to lead Hapoel Beer Sheva to its most important game in the post-Alona Barkat era.
In the last year the Portuguese has established his status as the highest quality foreigner to land in the league, as the most interesting footballer, but also to someone who is hard to control.
Joshua knows everything.
Even if he says that he is not interested in what is said and written about him, he wants to be remembered in the Israeli league as one of the best.
He recently said here in an interview that he would like to be a part of the club's big years.
But it is doubtful whether he was suitable for the three years in which Hapoel Beer Sheva dominated Israeli football.
The Portuguese is a soloist, one who should feel that everything is moving around him.
When he is dependent, he gives of himself the maximum.
The glory days with the many stars that were in the group, could not stand it out.
Tonight Hapoel Beer Sheva needs him and will look up to him.
With all due respect to the rivalry in previous rounds, Victoria Plzen is another opera.
A team in the Europa League level on the border of the Champions League.
Here it will no longer be enough for an inverted make-up like Latchi or a considerable quality gap like against Motherwell.
At the age of 30, the number 10 of Hapoel Beer Sheva should hypnotize the ball he loves so much for the club and on the way also buy himself a ticket to the Europa League, a place that was supposed to be a permanent home for him when he grew up in Portugal and predicted a brilliant career.

2. The
game tonight is about NIS 12 million, but also much more than that.
If Hapoel Beer Sheva qualifies for the Europa League tonight, this is the amount that will go into the coffers, but in addition to that, there will also be grants for every point and sponsorships that always accompany.
But even so, it is not just about the immediate financial plane.
Qualifying for the home stage will set another score in the rankings that this summer proved so significant in Hapoel Beer Sheva's journey.
Had it not been ranked, the team from the Negev capital would not have had such a comfortable rivalry so far.
As someone who wants to continue to perform in the late European factories, Hapoel Beer Sheva must produce success and gain a reputation and priority in lotteries.
What today seems to be about 90 minutes separating Hapoel Beer Sheva from the home stage, seemed six months ago and even four months ago as an impossible fantasy.
In the days when the club feared even disbandment, who believed that Hapoel Beer Sheva would look like a healthy club with six significant and signed foreigners, not bad Israelis at all and no less important - home players who suddenly push from below and give some basis to lean on?
In the style of Amma Yaemik, Hapoel Beer Sheva does not want to think too far, but tonight's victory opened the door for a solid season and peace of mind ahead of the meeting with the Budget Control Authority next summer.
Qualifying for the houses stage will be worth rating points and budget quiet.

3.
When a football player goes up to the pitch, he does not think about money, but on a day-to-day basis the players naturally think about their contracts.
All Hapoel Beer Sheva players currently play with contracts that have been cut on average by 40 percent.
If they bring the team tonight to the Europa League, there is already a thought of coming to the management and asking for something back.
Most players will receive Europa League grants that are in their contracts, but they will also consider contacting management to come to them and add a bonus out of an amount that was not planned at all, with Assi Rahamim sitting on the transfer of contracts under control.
Was now in the midst of preparations for Scotland.

In
exactly one week, the Israeli team will play against Scotland at Hampden Park in Glasgow and will try to keep the Euro dream alive.
Had it not been for the mine planted by Eyal Berkowitz and especially the desire to save money, Yossi Aboksis would now be in final preparations as national coach for the publication of the squad tomorrow.
But Aboksis remains at Hapoel Beer Sheva and the national mission, tonight will replace a very important personal goal for him.
With Bnei Yehuda Aboksis was close to advancing to the home stage, but even the maximum left him no chance.
He recently celebrated his 50th birthday and if he succeeds, qualifying for the Europa League will be at the top of the resume he will present from now on wherever he will be a candidate.
There are not many coaches who know how to prepare a team for a task like Abacus.
With the material he has through his assistants, he has already lived the game plan and now only remains to see the performance of the players.
Less than a kilometer from his home in Petah Tikva, he will start the car tonight at the end of the game for the shortest and most enjoyable ride he has ever had, or for the feeling of missing out and the disappointment that may accompany him as one who will probably have a hard time winning football easily.
