Sheva Marorim: Will the facelift of Betar Jerusalem take it out of the mud?

With a string of hungry procurement players (erasing their recent failures), an audience longing to finally enjoy football (but prone to despair) and a husband who has kicked off preparations for the season (two months late), Betar is once again rejuvenating, once again worth a top playoff, and once again afraid of collapsing Under the threshold of unrealistic expectations

Betar Jerusalem: Roi Herman has signed, Dor Alo may join him

To the full article

What did you do in the summer?

Betar Jerusalem has undergone a mini-revolution. Key players such as Ali Muhammad, Idan Vered and Eliran Atar have left, Erwin Koeman has been appointed and the emphasis has been on trying to produce a hungrier team. Benefits - Boachi, Jesse, Lakao, Zrihan, Amit Cohen (the last three were relegated).

On the one hand it is a risk, on the other hand one can see the hunger of everyone to return to consciousness.

Betar's biggest problem lies in the fact that it is now doing things it should have done two months ago. Suffering from a not-so-simple injury blow during the Toto Cup games - Rotman underwent surgery on the meniscus, Amit Cohen on his way to a one-on-one, Mausinio a shoulder joint, Shua suffered a small ankle fracture, Aviel Zargari with back pain. , When even the new brake Mahias has not yet arrived in the country.

Looking a few rounds ahead, Betar's staff will look different. Wounded will return, Boachi will get into things, also Plater, Roy Herman joined yesterday and this generation on targeting In addition to strengthening the right defensive position, there may also be a creative connection, Zargari will return and things should look At the same time, at least for the opening round against Hapoel Beer Sheva, Betar is at a great disadvantage, as there is no one in the club who does not buy a point in this game.

An optimistic scenario

If in a bad season like last season Betar was in the top playoff picture almost until the last round of the regular season, although things are not looking good so far, after all the squad is completed and players return the team can be equal among the top six. This is especially true given teams Who were there last year like Ashdod, Maccabi Petah Tikva and Kiryat Shmona weakened.

Pessimistic scenario

Betar does not have too many players with leadership ability. Itamar Nitzan in goal, Degani, Krieff tries to take a little, but beyond the defense there is not too much. It leaves a hole for stressful situations, for difficult moments that go less. The break, when no one came and tried to generate momentum. In such a situation, starting a bad season can lead to a snowball that will be difficult to get out of. Previous in the Toto Cup How difficult, despite improvisation and the fact that it will take time to join a team, Betar must not collapse in the first rounds because it is not certain that it will be able to get out of it.

The biggest mistake was in the level of expectations for teams that are built from now to now.

The moment he must not return

It's very easy to write "almost every moment of last season".

But if one has to focus, it is not necessarily on how to deal with bad moments but rather to take in good moments in proportions, maintain modesty and industrial quiet.

Beginning of last season: Betar defeats Hadera, Michael Ohana wins a double, celebrates tweeting about the best half since acquiring Betar, that week a special shirt of Ohana and Ohana comes out, and the club sprinkles statements about places 1-3.

Celebrating has made quite a few mistakes since acquiring Betar, but the biggest mistake was in the level of expectations for teams that are being built from now until now.

Third vaccination or isolation

Choosing here in Jordan Shuaa is quite clichéd, but impossible not to. Jankovic wants to pick up his career, Boachi and Jesse after two bad years, but Shua, with a price tag of 1.4 million euros, only managed to produce a good amount of lateness, taps from meals and unprofessional energies this summer, so he wins a knockout in the current slot.

If Betar did not have an easy time with Shua last season as a car player, on the face of it it should get another Shua this year - the one that should be on the bench and replace Boachi, and maybe even Plater will be in front of him. Deja Vu for the colorful days at Maccabi Haifa. Betar is trying to sell Shoa even at a loss price, or even on loan with an option, but at the moment there is no good enough offer. If Shua remains, he is far from being Erwin Coman's DNA, more in the direction of whoever causes itching in the body, so the chance of this matchmaking succeeding over time is nil. The one who should confess to Shua is Michael Ohana, who, had it not been for the striker's exploits, would have been included here.

Far from being Erwin Coman's DNA, to say the least.

forecast

When you want to give a forecast for Betar's professional season, you have to take into account the atmosphere around, the clashes inside the crowd and what the stands will look like in the games. One thing is clear: Top and maybe even scratch a ticket to Europe.

After building the entire squad, most of the teams except for the top three are pretty equal, so Betar's crowd and its hunger can make a difference. Bleeding and wanting to return to enjoy football, bring the children and family and return to enjoy this thing called Betar Jerusalem.

Will it happen?

In Betar as in Betar - every day the story of the club is rewritten.
