Artists of illusions: the collapse of Hapoel Haifa, the irrelevance of Betar

Hapoel Haifa led the table at one point, but the loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv and especially the defeat in the derby made it clear once again how much this is a league of greats. The umbrella of racism

11th round goals in the Premier League (Sports 1)

We knew the fact that Maccabi Haifa is an amazing attacking team even before the derby yesterday, but when an amazing attacking team meets a scandalous defensive team, then the superlatives celebrate, especially when the setting is a derby and Sami Ofer is full and a game opens 5 points behind the title. Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Haifa are not the same league. True, the language and name of the verb Haifa takes some derby, but since the days of Ruby Shapira, overall, it is nothing more than statistical. And this is not unusual in relation to the Tel Aviv derby of recent years. The gap between the big, rich, influential, crowded crowds and games, and everything else is only getting bigger. No urban rivalry can reduce this. The derby had its own rules, that is, no more. The derbies in the Premier League have become like the derby between Feyenoord and Sparta, between Barcelona and Espanyol, between Porto and Boavista. Even the Jerusalem derby ended 0: 3 for the breakaway.

This series, which goes through each team, of three consecutive games against the big three, turns out to be a ringing slap in the face, especially for teams with tradition and crowd.

Hapoel Haifa approaches these games differently than Hapoel Nof Hagalil, certainly after it has already led the league, and then the real gaps become clear.

Maccabi Haifa is big on Hapoel Haifa in so many parameters that it is not clear where to start.

And maybe we'll end: Noble Omar is the most dominant player in the Premier League since Eran Zehavi played here.

A league of two teams is emerging here.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is capable of harming any of them, and that too with a limited guarantee.

Last season the gap between second and third place - between the championship fight and the rest of the world - was 21 points.

Maccabi Haifa is quality from Hapoel Beer Sheva, but this one has players with mileage who can win less good games.

Therefore, it is forbidden to bet on the identity of the champion, even after a convincing 1: 5 in the derby.

Hapoel Beer Sheva would not snatch two goals in 15 seconds, not even Maccabi Tel Aviv, not even Hapoel Tel Aviv.

2. It is very easy to say about a player that his kicking technique is perfect, that his delivery technique is ingenious, that his ball handling technique is wonderful.

When will the commentator who will say live on television say that Itai Schechter's diving technique is one of the best in the world?

Schechter's basic instinct is to fall for every touch, but that's not enough, certainly in the VAR era.

There are judges sitting there who have not held a conference in recent years who have not spoken about Schechter.

Schechter is a lecture in itself.

There is no judge who did not fall for Schechter, everyone is waiting for him in the round.

A few weeks ago, Teddy, he was deprived.

He deserved a penalty and he did not receive it.

At 34, the dives return to him like a boomerang.

You look at the pendulum.

Trauma may or may not touch him, but then the back of the foot licks the grass, stumbling the whole body.

Bnei Lem made the Falch a Hall of Fame, Schechter's use of his Falch would further make Iyad Abu 'Abid king of goals.

Fried would not have been able to see anything with the naked eye, but Liani with two blue eyes and a million repeat gears saw nothing.

Someone wrote on the net yesterday that Schechter is the pearl of football.

it has got something in it.

You can despise him, curse him, get upset with him, but try to tattoo his resume: he played in all the big five, did not deprive anyone, scored more than 100 league goals, played in 3 of the 5 biggest leagues in the world, and you mess with his penalties ?

So Hapoel Tel Aviv made a red cap.

And what did his Little Red Riding Hood do for Hapoel Tel Aviv?

3. Has anyone fallen from a chair and entered the market when he heard that Erwin Koeman resigned from Betar Jerusalem? Has anyone been surprised that he also retired from training? Shalev shouted from suffering.

Health is not a matter of laughing at him. Unhealthy people should not get into stress, certainly not in menopause. , Of retirement due to health issues.

Guttman was the first, Klinger the second, now it's Coman.

Bless them.

Once upon a time, when Teddy was erected, there was a sign in the eastern bleachers: "Welcome to Hell." There is hardly a coach in Betar Jerusalem, including the legendary Dror Kashtan, who has not been through this hell. The Betar crowd is large, but for the most part it is casual. There are very few fans who will come in an entire season for every game. Most of them do not remember the last championship the team won, it was 14 years ago, and even then fans mirrored the life of the coach. In these 14 years, Betar has not run for the championship even once, this is the longest period of time for a club of this size in Israel to be irrelevant.

And into that madman landed Erwin Coman.

3 championships, 3 trophies, 3 European Cups, European Championship with the Netherlands.

He has a resume as a player, but less as a coach.

Before Betar he coached in Oman, but there is no doubt that the fans behind him are cult figures in "Puppet of the Night." What the hell am I doing here? Oman, Betar, is there a horizon for this slope?

I do not see Betar Jerusalem coming out of it. Its owner exhibition in the last 15 years speaks for itself, and not a word about the one who crossed the border to bring back Gilad Shalit. They are stuck without a coach, how will they bring owners, money, a future?

4. Once, about 15 years ago, I went to survey a game in Doha. Bnei Sakhnin against Maccabi Petah Tikva. There is no bad blood between the groups, no outside crowd, everything is pastoral. In the game itself, close to 100 torches were lit in the stands, as matches are lit. No policeman entered the stands. Every time Guy Luzon came off the bench (then the benches were next to the podium), a lighter landed on him. It did not even appear in the judge's report. Just a game, without any importance.

Seeing a game in Doha is suffering.

Teddy, too, sometimes suffers, but at least you can drive from there to the Cinematheque.

Getting to Sakhnin is suffering, getting out of it is fear, being there is not really a pleasure.

The photographer who snatched a can of Coke for the head is still taking pictures, lucky he came out alive.

Doha should have been closed a long time ago, but there was no politically correct reason.

The Ministry of Economy arrived and closed it for violating the terms of the business license.

El Capone was also eventually jailed for tax offenses.

The time has come, really, for Sakhnin to understand that this has nothing to do with politics, Arab-Jewish relations, and the prevention of sporting success.

It has to do with them, with rolling their eyes, with the training of the forbidden.

The stadium is actually fine, this conduct is really, really not.

5. And a trial on Maccabi Tel Aviv.

When they find a coach, they will no longer find Beer Sheva and Haifa.
