Still not enough to beat the champion

When this season ends we will not sum it up as such with an asterisk, but as a season with a ladder.
This whole industry of the Premier League in football - players, team owners, fans, media, all of us - has climbed to a high top and will need a ladder or at least a ladder to get back to the ground of the reality we miss.
For the half of the season that has ended and the half that is still ahead of us there will be someone who will have to write a film or play about football in the days of cholera.
An impossible and unbearable time, which disrupted our lives fatally.
During this period, even such problematic Israeli football became a district of desire and longing.
The stands were locked and the people fortified themselves in the houses and waited to watch the league that came sparingly, was stopped, stopped again and disrupted again, but it is still our Israeli football.
And under the impossible conditions there was a league full of stories and dramas.
At the same time, our "showcase" also plays - the team, in its various tasks.
During these months, her most sworn enemies also died: Frank Aruck (Australia), Otto Barrich (Austria) and Gerard Hoya (France), but our team will remain the world's greatest enemy of its own.
After the collapse of Hapoel B'Shlosha to the top, Maccabi Haifa the Great with Barak Bachar returned to being the great rival of the only power in the Middle East. It is still not enough to beat the champion Maccabi Tel Aviv, but after a decade Haifa returned to fight for the best players , And it shows that Yaakov Shachar is alive and mostly kicking.
The Good News - 5 For.
The bad - there are two more meetings with Maccabi Tel Aviv this season.
Yossi Aboksis was the leading candidate for the team for half a year and ended after a fight with Alona on a long-term contract with his friend Abramov, who warmly embraced the song of Einstein and Shalom Hanoch "Everyone wants to be CEO, to be commissioner, to be secretary." Neighborhood, no?
Home and Garden is also a neighborhood
.
The buzz surrounding the Khalifa-Khalifa agreement can only be compared to Anwar Sadat's arrival in Jerusalem in 1977.
Only that agreement lasts 40 years and it does not last 40 days.
It remains to be asked why such Baba Ali stories occur only there and not with Shahar and Goldhaar.
What also appears is that the two new immigrants will not come down.
Maccabi Petah Tikva, together with Ashdod and a bit of Hapoel Haifa, are the successful story of the half of the season. The Luzons leveraged Manor Solomon, half-baked Liel Abda and threw him back into our bubbling pot, but he will return. Better than its overall conduct, and it leaves the box of candidates for relegation to the red bloodshed - Sakhnin, Hadera and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Khodorov's disaster is that they have become a random group with a random owner, a random present and a obscure future.
Wikipedia says they have a sea of championships and trophies, but who remembers?
