Menashe Zalka, captain of Hapoel Hadera, has become one of the most beloved athletes in Israel. He enlisted in combat reserve service in the Crow Company of the Parachute Patrol and put football aside for a long time.
In an interview today (Friday) with Radio Jerusalem ahead of the meeting with Beitar tomorrow, he was first asked about the warm welcome that the Beitar fans are preparing for him in Teddy. "Beitar's audience strengthens me and supports me throughout the war, sending me Countless messages," he said. In addition, he also lightly commented on the team's professional situation, which currently stands 4 points away from the red line. "In January, 5-6 players came to the team. Everyone in the club understood the situation, and I also told Kikir Schwartz from the reserves that we have nothing to sell without new players," he told Radio Jerusalem. "I don't play to say I'm a player in the Premier League. We play different football," he added.
