Summary of Maccabi Tel Aviv's 1: 2 victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv in the Cup final (Sport 1)

I watch over and over again the replays of most of the controversial events in the Cup Final derby, and I wonder if that is not exactly what Gigal Fried was supposed to do in real time.

True, I have more time than him, and still.

Eddie Gottlieb's entry into Dan Bitton a fraction of a second before Shai Eisen slides dangerously (but extracts a ball) at the foot of Dor Peretz, seems much more illegal.

Looking again and again during and not convinced that Paul was here at the moment of the encounter, even if at the end of the move Eisen's soles met at Peretz's market, at grass height.

Fried decided it was Paul.

If you go first, during the Maccabi Tel Aviv equalizer, you will find that Yonatan Cohen keeps Eddie Gottlieb's run back to Dan Glazer's high ball in his hands. A closer look might have found that Cohen prevented him from stabilizing for a shot.

And what about that?

Did Jonathan Cohen push Eddie Gottlieb?

38 years ago, a clear touch by Gili Landau decided the cup final derby. Did not need then VAR to see. I saw it from the old Gate 9 in Ramat Gan, and it was 120 meters from my seat. Only Ovadia Ben Yitzhak, a veteran and experienced and even senior judge, did not see. So what will Erez Papir say who until 10 years ago did not know who he is or Yigal Fried who until 10 years ago refereed lower leagues and children? Ural Greenfeld's appearance at Euro 2020 will not cover the fact that there is a problem of refereeing in Israeli football, and what is worse than that: a problem of placement in the referees' union.

There were good referees from the paper case who did not get a cup final - and another derby. There are good referees, by far, Papir who have received negligible games in the last two weeks because Papir was promised a final. And most amazingly, Papir's biggest mistake was in all his decision to whistle a penalty against Eddie Gottlieb, for an offense committed long before the extension, when he was close. If this is what he saw, what about what he did not see?

It can be said until tomorrow that Maccabi Tel Aviv is better and more deserving and deserves more to take a trophy. Everything is true, but Netanyahu will also say that he deserves to be prime minister because the Likud received 30 seats. In the moment of truth, Lapid, Bennett and Hapoel Tel Aviv won, but Netanyahu There was no VAR and Ruby Rivlin is the president and not the final judge.

And there it was decided.

There were better judges than him who did not get a trophy final.

There is no bluff in football. Maccabi Tel Aviv scored 17 points out of 30, 57 percent, from the end of the regular league until the end of the season, and its goal difference was 12:17. It absorbed more than one goal per game, it scored less than two. Maccabi Tel Aviv cut its way to the end of the season. No tactical discipline, a little less motivation and faith, lots of cracks. The fact that Alexander Peshich has left and Luis Hernandez does not want to continue, is a reflection of a lack of commitment and a lack of glue.

And yet Maccabi took a trophy because Hapoel is not much more than a fighting team, a landscape model of their coach's homeland. Is a mediocre football team that, if not strengthened, will be in the lower playoffs next season as well. It happened because Maccabi Tel Aviv has more clutch players, because it can bring Yonatan Cohen off the bench, there are moments when he is the best footballer in Israel, and this is when Dor Peretz plays next to him, who is actually the best footballer in Israel.

At Hapoel, many of those who did not find a team and who were willing to pay them, no matter how many, play for them.

The essential difference between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv - and how long it has been ten years in football - is that Maccabi usually takes whoever it wants, and Hapoel usually takes what is left, even if there are no other clients.

And yet, with all that, there was no shortage of this game going to penalties.

Boateng's stronger kick, Tennenbaum's less good instinct.

Hapoel was closer to equality than Maccabi was close to the cup.

With or without the push, Jonathan Cohen had to arrive before.

Do you want to understand why the brakes in Israel are weak and why the defensive game in most teams falls significantly short of the offensive game? Focus on Buddy Gottlieb and Matan Balteksa, two of the leading brakes in Israel (do not get excited, there are not too many). Gottlieb has a double-digit number of goals in the Premier League, he has five appearances in the Russian League. Balteksa had a drop of a ball to Schechter's kick to the crossbar yesterday and a drop of a ball to Hernandez's winning goal. What did Gottlieb do at Jonathan Cohen's gate? He was ahead of him by a step and still Cohen got the ball in front of him (with or without a push, still got in front of him). And why did Gottlieb have to grab Guerrero's hand about 10 yards away? And where was Omri Altman in the latex in the latex? At the photo booth?

David Primo had one goal in his career, in Petah Tikva, and he is considered the best defensive player ever in Israel.

With him neither Altman nor Cohen nor anyone would have scored a goal yesterday, because he was first and foremost a brake - a defensive player - not an attacking assistant.

As long as coaches in youth departments take slow or high ties and strikers and turn them into defensive positions - because there are no natural jumps to those positions - there will be no defensive players here.

Let them say thank you that Klinger did not run to goal 11

If I have to choose the five players who influenced Maccabi Tel Aviv more than anyone else in history, Nir Klinger is almost my first choice. His move from Maccabi Haifa to Maccabi Tel Aviv in 1989 was a sign of territory. He was a partner in the big championships of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 90s, even pushed a goal in the famous 1: 3 of Maccabi Tel Aviv in Kiryat Eliezer in 1996, he also stuck a wedge, as a coach in the first season of the Premier League, in a crazy championship series of Maccabi Haifa between 2001 and 2006, and also took Maccabi Tel Aviv to the home stage of the Champions League, when it was a runner-up. Nir Klinger is the biggest Maccabi who grew up in Carmel and the most northern Haifa resident who lived in Tzahala.

But above all, this man is a winner. , Soul trainer.

His behavior yesterday, alongside the one that was outrageous, is almost natural.

If Maccabi Tel Aviv fans do not remember his youthful kindness and sing him "Klinger does not see", when he is at the height of his madness about the disqualification of Eisen's goal and red, then let them say thank you that he did not run to goal 11 to close an account. And 13 when he went to raise funds, in the derbies in which he starred, and restrained - even he went mad.

Greedy for victories and full of soul.

The problem is that it was a cup final, in the presence of the president, and that is not how they behave.

The cup final was originally set for Sami Ofer. The "Guardian of the Walls" events moved the semi-finals from Bloomfield to Sami Ofer, and it was natural for the association to scream and hold the final in Bloomfield, certainly when it comes to the Tel Aviv derby. And that was a mistake. Because in his atmosphere, a standard Tel Aviv derby took place yesterday - flares, curses, dismissals - and not a cup final. And I am willing to bet that if the final had been held at Sami Ofer, most of the events that keep families and children away from Israeli football would not have taken place there. Different police, different standards, different atmosphere. Anyone leaving the alleys in Jaffa for a Tel Aviv derby will behave differently when getting off the train at Bat Galim station.

Speaking of police, before the game, a Tel Aviv police spokeswoman issued a statement as to the length of the exile on the arrest of a guy with a torch on the way to Bloomfield.

They almost raised a glass there on the apprehension of a terrorist before an attack.

The 15 torches that landed on the grass and were lit in the stands at the start of the game made it clear that the police should concentrate less on PR and more on drawing lessons.

Anyone who says about Maccabi Tel Aviv's season that it's a failure is a bit confused. On Tuesday it completed its 57th game since August 8, and if the European Cup qualifier format had not been reduced due to the Corona for a single knockout game, it would have had 60 games

. It's crazy for an Israeli team.

And yet she won the Champions League title, the Toto Cup, reached the Champions League playoffs, advanced from her home in the Europa League, finished as runners-up and won the National Cup. Even if Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball wins the championship - and in fact the double - Football was better.

Rivlin, do you hear?

I try to imagine how a moment to the buzzer, after collecting the signatures from the right, new hope and RAAM, Yair Lapid tries to get the president to announce that he has succeeded, and finds that there is an extension in Bloomfield and the president hears nothing in that noise.

Moti Habib: There was no offense before the goal

I was not in the derby.

and better this way.

Very Good.

If I were sitting at the top of the stands in Bloomfield, it is likely that like everyone else I would think that Hapoel Tel Aviv's goal disqualification is justified due to Shai Eisen's offense somewhere in the center of the field.

But precisely because I was not in the stands, I watched at least ten times yesterday an event that agitated the derby in the Cup final.

Once, and again, and again, and again, and no one in the world will convince me: an offense

worth a red card - was not there!

By no means was it!

You may find someone who will prove to me that Hapoel Tel Aviv committed an offense, and maybe even an offense worth a yellow card, but by no means an offense of direct red, and the difference is big and substantial. Maybe it was an offense of a yellow card, and again I say, could be Yes, but then the VAR judges are not supposed to interfere with Judge Erez Papir's decision.

Where is the logic?

Papir himself could have let the move come to an end and then waved a yellow to Eisen, but the VAR intervention forced the referee to both disqualify the goal and keep the tie away - which actually piqued the passions and lit up the entire derby.

The injustice done to Hapoel Tel Aviv is great, and the more I saw the incident, the more I realized how much injustice was done here. An

offense like Shai Eisen did in the center of the field, if he did, there are quite a few football games, hence the aggravation is unbearable. The law of logic that judges always make sure to mention?
