Ayala Solomon, the mother of Manor, a star of Shakhtar Donetsk, is known as a Maccabi Tel Aviv fan. She would even take her son to the Champions League games in Bloomfield. Manor was also photographed with the special scarf and declared a "special game".
But this game will be much more special for the relationship and not just because of mom, but because most of the Maccabi players are members of the team or played with him in the young team.
"A football star," they call him, and each of them will be happy to get his game shirt at the end of the match (and maybe already in the half).
It's all nice to produce some picantry ahead of the game, but was there really a chance Solomon would wear yellow?
Judge for yourself.
A few months before Solomon moved to Shakhtar, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Petah Tikva met.
Although the young midfielder did not find the net in that game, he made names for the defense of Vladan Ivic's millionaire team.
The technical director of Maccabi Tel Aviv, Barak Yitzhaki, who was sitting in the podium, decided to contact Avi Luzon and inquired about the price of the jewelry. "How much will you sell it to us?" Yitzhaki asked, and in response received a juicy answer from Luzon: "For you - 10 million euros ". On the face of it, this is another small talk between two senior officials in the stands, but the joke between the two did not come out of nowhere.
According to sources in Kiryat Shalom, already in the season - 17/18, the season in which 17-year-old Salomon broke out at Maccabi Petah Tikva - the player's name was strong in the Yellows' lists. But when Maccabi made inquiries about his purchase, they received answers that the price Its huge and unrealistic even for a club of their size, probably with fair play matters in the background.
Solomon eventually landed in Shakhtar for 6 million euros, and the rest is history.
Unless something unexpected happens, he will find himself in the Premier League this summer, with Arsenal as the main candidate to take on him. There will be the next group he abuses.
