Summary: Hapoel Jerusalem - Maccabi Haifa 4: 1 (Sport 1)
If you hold a poll in the stands of Maccabi Haifa, who is the player who evokes the greatest sense of identification in them, they will most likely vote for Neta Lavi.
The ultimate good guy, a player who as captain of the youth team led her to a double, the poster boy of everything football fans in general and Greens fans in particular love to love.
His injury, which yesterday turned out to disable him for at least another two months, is a severe moral blow to the green locker room, where Lavie is very dominant.
It's not just the mental thing.
Lavie often extracts balls in the opponent's court.
These saves allow the attacking players to quickly get the ball and embarrass the defense.
This is what made last season Noble Omar, Nikita Rokavitsia, Donio and Charon Sherry offensive monsters.
In the first rounds, and especially in the game against Hapoel Beer Sheva, Lavi's disadvantage was well felt.
Maccabi Haifa fails to produce situations, the attack is stuck and the element of surprise is lost.
Even in the victory over Hapoel Jerusalem, it is clear that the machine creaks.

Maccabi Haifa's challenge is now doubled and multiplied.
It is true that the gap from Hapoel Beer Sheva is only 4 points and that Roni Levy's team does not really look like one that will run over the league, but Barak Bachar also knows that additional stumbles can be costly.
He needs someone to close the pit that Lavi leaves in the center of the field.
At the moment his team is not really aggressive and not very threatening.
The coming period will be an important test for the champion.
With the expected congestion from Europe, Maccabi Haifa does not have too much room for maneuver.
Unlike in previous years, this time Maccabi Haifa has enough players to man the back link and try to fill the void left by Lavi, but so far it has not worked who knows what.
It's the time of Jose Rodriguez, Muhammad Abu Fani, Ali Muhammad and Muhammad Jaber to flourish.
Just remember that not every day is Jerusalem Day.

"The loss of Neta Lavie is a severe blow, but we trust the others"
The beauty of ugliness
Abraham Grant has been portrayed over the years as a Buncrist coach, but that has not always been the case.
He brought Hapoel Petach Tikva back to the front of the stage in the late 80's with creative and beautiful football, his first championship with Maccabi Tel Aviv in 1991/2 was characterized by the slaughter of the rival.
Two years later, in the 1993/4 season, when Grant faced the glittering and invincible staff of Maccabi Haifa, he suddenly became the commander of guerrilla fighters.
That was enough for second place, and for the 1994/5 season he arrived ready.
In front of the glamor of Eyal Berkovich, Chaim Revivo and Sergei Kandaurov, he placed the "Bromers Group".
The talents of Avi Nemani, Nir Sevilla and Itzik Zohar are wrapped up in a great deal of carpentry work.
That championship was a wind victory over the material and shaped Grant into a coach with the rigid style we knew for more than two decades later.
Roni Levy is not Grant.
In his coaching career he did not have an offensive chapter worthy of his name, he was always a careful coach, went for sure.
This is the man, this is what he stands for.
Hapoel Beer Sheva fans twisted their noses when he replaced Yossi Aboksis, many did not give him a chance.
In the meantime, he is surviving well, the two victories over Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa have changed the momentum.
Suddenly, Hapoel Beer Sheva has turned from a collection of eclectic players into a candidate for the championship.
With the euphoria of the victory in Haifa and the team's break, Hapoel Beer Sheva's fear was of a drop in tension that would lead to the loss of points against Maccabi Petah Tikva.
That's why it was so important to get through this game safely.
Because of this, Levy's caution, which is also sometimes considered excessive, was even greater.
And know what?
Rightly so.
Tactics before beauty - and it works.

There is a constant crisis of confidence between Levy's coaches and their team fans. It’s hard to accept the style and the fact that for them victory, as legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said, is not the most important thing, but the only thing. For fans, the means are also important, not just the goal. And when quite a few of the stands in the stands at Turner saw that the goal was on the way to being achieved but the means were not really kosher for them, they began to whistle contemptuously.
In general, there is no problem with this. The right of fans to resent, and shouts of contempt are a legitimate matter that does not even go beyond the realm of ethics. Only that those guys in the stands will have to very quickly decide what is more important to them - running for the championship or beautiful football. The first product they might get, the second certainly will not. The problem is that contempt in a home game in a stressful situation also greatly reduces the chance of getting what is within reach. There is no more than Lixon, Wakma, Barda and Buzaglo. Hapoel Beer Sheva goes to war with Gordana, Schechter, Abu 'Abid, Barreiro and Lopez. For this group, Roni Levy is the perfect match. Anyone expecting the 2015-18 dynasty is doomed to be disappointed.
Going back for a moment to that Grant team from 1995, it was she who included the ugliness to such monstrous proportions that it eventually became beautiful.
The then Maccabi Tel Aviv bit, scratched, kicked.
She scraped a win and drew nine players.
Avi Nemani, the talent symbol of the nineties, got two reds that season.
It was a team with very shiny football, which miraculously masochistic was also delightful to watch thanks to Grant's brilliant tactics.
The current Hapoel Beer Sheva, with players some of whom were previously MMA fighters, can become one.
The question is how much they will disturb her from home.

The springs of hell
If you neutralize the derby, Betar Jerusalem has two goals in five games. This team will not score a goal even if its life depends on it. In the 61st minute Richmond Boachi did not even have to ask Ernests Shtakos where he wants The ball, he just had to roll lightly into the net.How his ball passed ten meters from the beam, only he and God know.
Sparks of genius.

When you look at the bottom line, Boachi missed and Betar paid a high price. When you look at the line above, you find a tremendous move by Jordan Shua. It's all perfect football intelligence.
Shua had quite a bit of friction with Erwin Koeman. He was even thrown out of training. With the network, you must do your best to keep it.
Shua, for his part, must show a willingness to give everything without getting involved in nonsense.
To his credit, we have not heard of an incident from him for a month.
His fate is tied to that of Betar. If the positive instinct continues to arise, he is the man who can make the difference between bottom struggles and the top playoffs.

The only one who fights is celebrating
If what happened yesterday in Bloomfield will not serve as the opening shot in a real, serious and determined struggle of all possible forces - not only of Betar Jerusalem, but of the Israeli government, the police, the Ministry of Justice and who not - the criminal elements who took over the Betar Jerusalem fan stand, Really you can close the football. Lifelong removal from the pitches + a few good months in prison for those responsible for the violence will be a good start.
In practice, apparently, there is a clatter of tongues, a senior minister will say that "the phenomenon must be eradicated and the safety of the fans must be maintained", someone will talk about setting up a committee and some individuals will get a two-month suspension from the pitches. For ten minutes people throw murder blows in the stands and send fans to a hospital, then a police message comes out about the arrest of two fans who threw flares. If you want to understand what's wrong, look in the spokesperson's message that came out this morning.
In this context, it is worth noting that Moshe is celebrating.
Leave everything going on around - and there's a lot of criticism of what's going on around - really celebrating going all the way with La Familia.
This is not something that can be ignored, this is not something we want to ignore.
