Insolvency: Betar Jerusalem as a perfect metaphor for its owners
Shortly before the humiliation against Maccabi Haifa, it became known that a dissolution order had been issued against one of Moshe Hogg's friends, a perfect metaphor for the team's situation on the grass.
The corona is an excellent excuse, only Betar does not deserve it. The leader faced an important challenge and once again proved that maybe this year it will end differently.

The entrance to the few who visit the Teddy stands in the days of the Corona is done, unlike most stadiums in the country, through the lines of the field itself.
After one gram of stairs the green unfolded in all its glory.
Despite the immense pallor that the last year has caused the industry, the first encounter with the grass, and more from its natural height, is always a moment of surprise.
The late Ali Mohar once wrote how exciting the ascent of the Bloomfield Stairs is (that of the 1980s, not the versions that came after), at the end of which the big prize awaits - the encounter with the pitch.
So just like that.
But the euphoria lasts only a few seconds.
After sitting in the cold and alienated stadium you notice the dim and depressing lighting, the severe shortage of spotlights, especially behind the gates.
The combination of the light yellow light with the bright green, against the background of the empty stands, creates a feeling of melancholy, one that befits the 11 players in yellow-black, the ones whose place is their home.
Betar Jerusalem is a gloomy, battered, sad team, and it is not enough to win, heroic as it may be, over Maccabi Netanya to obscure the negative impression it has built with its own hands over the past few years.

Betar Jerusalem under pressure: "How did they dismantle us like this in the middle?
They are first for every ball "

Two teams that have just recovered from the massacre of Corona played yesterday.
Both suffered a home defeat by three goals.
On the face of it, the common denominator is clear.
Both Kobi Refuah ("I have 200,000 excuses but I will not say even one") and Shai Barda ("Half the players asked to leave because they are finished") hinted that this story played a major role.
They are right, there is no shadow of a doubt and this argument should not be underestimated.
It takes time to recover from Corona and none of us would want to be the 75th minute Rose Age.
And yet, at least in the case of Betar Jerusalem, this is an assumption that it simply does not deserve.
Because in the end, there is no excuse for such a weak defense. There is no justification for such a slow lineup, even when the players are completely healthy. In the previous round in Haifa and then no one got infected.
After all, even then she would have come out with an embarrassing defeat had it not been for Itamar Nitzan, her only bright spot throughout the season.
There is no reason that after so much talk and ambition - talks, ostensibly, with Lior Rapalov, and an alleged addition of Omar Atzili, and a partnership, ostensibly, with an outspoken Sheikh Amrata, Betar Jerusalem will do again what it did throughout Moshe's term And will fight at a later stage of the regular season for a place in the top playoff, when her chances of reaching it are not amazing.
Near the time of the game, a report was published in Globes that the Tel Aviv District Court issued a liquidation order for one of Hogg's companies, as it is insolvent. , Of course, but this coincidence is really heavenly.
The same celebrant, under whose auspices the "seemingly" spreads everywhere, fails to prove that behind his checks there is cover.
Only in rare cases do reality and metaphor become one.
Yesterday Teddy recorded one of these cases.
If not in football, in symbolic connections we will be comforted.

Only one game was easier for Maccabi Haifa this season: the previous meeting against Betar Jerusalem. With a little more concentration and a little less bud, the Greens would come out yesterday with six and maybe seven goals from Teddy. Maccabi Haifa is big in some numbers on Betar Jerusalem, and that's something It was easy for all of us to say in retrospect, only it was not really obvious before the game, certainly not in light of last week's developments.
Three weeks ago, when Shachar Phiben scored an own goal, Maccabi Haifa increased the advantage over Maccabi Tel Aviv to 11 points for three minutes.
Yesterday she went up to the game when she sees the champion's back.
The derby victory was a spin and all, but it too was accompanied by an excessive release of tension that could rise on Wednesday by some valuable distances.
This charge could have been decisive last night, especially when we remember how Maccabi Haifa has failed many times in the past in such tests.
Be calm on the lines from the first minute.

But pressure was not there.
I followed Barak Bachar.
He was calm on the lines from the first minute.
After the two goals in the derby and the trio in Teddy, it seems that Maccabi Haifa has finally come out of dependence on Nikita Rokavitsia.
She may not have the formidable striker on the field, but there is Haziza, Sherry and even Donio getting into things.
With the addition of Awad and maybe even more minutes of the young and talented Maor Levy, against most of the teams in the league it should be enough.
Would Maccabi Haifa of years past have collapsed in this game?
Maybe.
Will she necessarily take this year's championship?
No one can guarantee it, but last night she once again showed that this year has something a little different in her, that this time this club knows how to face challenges instead of running away from them and giving in to them.
Another challenge awaits her on Wednesday in court.
To be sure, it will be much harder than the one you encountered yesterday.
