Hapoel Haifa with a dream season opener, leads the table after yesterday's victory (1: 3) over Hapoel Nof Hagalil.
Striker Alon Turgeman scored, cooked, and even missed Pendel, but the club rejoiced: "Turgeman is perhaps in the best shape of his career. The decision to bring him back proves itself. He is also good at Hapoel Haifa and you can see that."
Turgeman himself gives the credit for his ability mainly to coach Elisha Levy.
"The trust between Elisha and Alon is blind, this is important for the safety of Halutz," the club explained.
On the red side of the Carmel, at the end of last night's game in the locker room area, they heard Hapoel Nof Hagalil's claims against referee Aviad Shiloah and responded with a dismissal: "You did not lose because of the referee, these are just excuses," Haifa players told their newcomer friends.
