1. Beyond the fact that we are living in a slightly delusional period and with little uncertainty, we did not need this game between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa to know that this "fight" championship is over. There are those who are trying to maintain artificial tension, even though they like to be state here and tell us fairy tales about past upheavals - there is no rebellion here for anything beyond the lightweight and second consecutive win of the Yellows.

The quality gaps between the two are too large. It is impossible to confuse Marco with the upgrade that Haifa has done this season. She went back to the places she deserved, and sometimes even played fun and impressive football. But it should be noted that in its budgets this should be taken for granted. She still lost the season in her three meetings with her big opponent, and at every significant juncture throughout the season confusion and his lineup collapsed and went back, to the frustration districts.

Bottom line, conservatism overcame confusion, even yesterday in a game that is seemingly the last chance. In the Cup, in meetings with Maccabi Tel Aviv and even in a home meeting with humble Hapoel Tel Aviv earlier this week, it was enough that a shortage of loot, Ashkenazi and Neta Lavi, would cause a complete setback. He just didn't have solutions.

On the eve of yesterday's game in Haifa, there was no chance of a revolution at the summit, but confusion also failed to produce a change of consciousness in the power relationship with the champion. The Greens chased Ibich's players from the opening minutes, collapsing after fifteen minutes of Jonathan Cohen's wonderful cooking for Gulsa. The knockout snaps that were hijacked for the finish were inevitable. Maccabi Tel Aviv did not require a special effort to control, embarrass - and make it elegant.

Tel Aviv's control of hazing from the beginning of the week lowered the screen to the question marks that supposedly remained open. Relative to football without a crowd, the level is currently surprisingly good. The pace is not bad, the gates are beautiful, and the passion here again.

Anyone who has not read the map in terms of public order in the days of Post Corona is the Israeli police, on two evenings of operational collapse. Certainly not something to Eli Ohana in Betar Jerusalem, but a lame entry into the role of Minister of Public Security Amir Ohana.

2. Despite Hapoel Tel Aviv's impressive recovery, and the victories over Haifa and Beitar, Klinger has already broken the glass ceiling. The worker, within her managerial and financial constraints, cannot threaten more than she now threatens. Haifa will remain the only unit with similar resources to the champion, but Shahar and his men will have to sit down and decide whether their coach is the man who is able to take them to the Promised Land. or not.
