"It is obligatory to wear masks throughout the game," the announcer called Sami Ofer and took care of the health of the audience who came to watch the game that opened the 2021/22 season between Hapoel Haifa and Maccabi Netanya.
But with the level on the grass, it would have been better if the fans had put the masks on their eyes.
The coaches will say that it is only the first round and the teams are not fit, but in the Toto Cup they both looked much better.
In Netanya, it is clear that without Gabi Kanikovsky, the team looks like it has less players, even when there are 11 on the grass.
The same goes for Hapoel Haifa, and this is when its star, Hanan Maman, actually recovered from an injury to Yiftach in the squad.
It is to be hoped that there will be no more such games this season.
Otherwise the health game will start to intervene professionally as well and will forbid the crowd to watch such football, because who would do well to see 0-0 from the sky with a poor level?
