If the league started from the second round Betar Jerusalem would be the second day in the table and with only 2 points less than Tel Aviv. And the change that Ronnie Levy's team has made is not just about scoring points.

In the first round, some of the criticisms against the Jerusalemites were about not winning the big ones, but in this round things were reversed. Victories over Hapoel Beer Sheva and Maccabi Haifa and also a draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv. In short 7 points out of 9 against the big ones in the second round, compared to a point out of 9 against the big ones in the previous round.

One of the players responsible for the team's success is goalkeeper Itamar Nitzan, who has not absorbed more than half of the team's games - 12 out of 23. "Itamar today is the best goalkeeper in the league," say Betar, where it is hoped that, contrary to previous summons in the team, the goalkeeper will be invited to the team for the team Scotland.

And it is impossible without a few words about the two new players of the team, Eliran Atar and Hanan Maman, who are also scheduled to continue in the upcoming game against Hapoel Tel Aviv. The club says the combination of the two also stemmed from the desire to have more experienced, high-status players in the team to help the young players or those with inexperienced struggles like the ones who entered Otto in the playoffs.

"We have players who are not easy to handle with the support and applause nor when there are contemptuous whistles, so it is good that we now have 2 more older players and experience." Coach Ronnie Levy complimented the two players, saying: "I have a lot of expectations from Eliran Atar and Hanan Maman." And what is the situation of the injured? Dan Einbinder had an MRI and was found to have a back injury to his knee and was missing for at least two weeks. Levi Garcia, who suffers from ankle injury, will be absent for at least 3 weeks.
