Their entire loss: Why did Dean David not join Maccabi Tel Aviv?

Bachar wanted him back in Be'er Sheva, in Ashdod they were sure that the Yellows would fight him in the summer, but the offer did not come.

The fiery striker (Lachman: "Since the airplane there has not been such a striker") who will lead Maccabi Haifa tonight could land in Kiryat Shalom and change the Yellows' season.

So what is behind the miss?

Summary: Bnei Sakhnin - Maccabi Haifa 6: 0 (Sport 1)

As part of the unromantic triangle that developed this summer between Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Beer Sheva, the latter benefited mainly from what the first two released, with the champion and trophy holder focusing on joining players from smaller teams. Not every summer a player enters the big market who can succeed even outside the greenhouse in which he grew up. The transitions are usually not simple, and require acclimatization time.

Jackie Ben Zaken has a procedure that he has adopted in recent years at MS. Ashdod - he does not hold players by force until their sporting death, but it is rare that he will also release them really early. Ophir Marciano, Gadi Kinda and others donated to Ashdod for five years and then were sold. It is in the common interest of Ben Zaken and the actor. He can no longer pay what the big payers and he also usually knows how to take a hefty sum on his talent.

Last summer it was the turn of 25-year-old Dean David to finish his episode in Ashdod.

Eight years have passed since he arrived in Ashdod as a teenager from the youth department of Hapoel Ashkelon.

Gadi Carmeli, who then worked at the Ashdod Academy, is responsible for this transition more than anyone else.

David was a goal machine in the youth team.

In adulthood he had a harder time.

Not every coach has seen the talent.

Not everyone had the patience.

The one who always squinted in that direction was Barak Bachar.

Bachar once said that David is one of the few players he fears.

One to which he always devotes a chapter in the preparation of the great Hapoel Beer Sheva.

For years he wanted it with him.

This summer it happened and Maccabi Haifa laid a million euros on David. Nikita Rokavica played games, so Maccabi Haifa did not wait. The one who was waiting was Ashdod. The club realized that Maccabi Tel Aviv wants David and is willing to put in a lot of money. Let it be clear, in Ben Zaken's original plan, Dean David was destined for Europe. The kind of deals he has made in the past as in the Or Inbrom case.

David's agent is also the one who usually brought the offers from abroad for his players, so in Ashdod they believed until last summer that they would also receive 2.5 million euros for their striker. But while Maccabi Haifa was determined, Maccabi Tel Aviv stuttered. "Maccabi Tel Aviv did not. Submitted a bid for Din David in the end, "they say today in Ashdod." The only serious offer was from Maccabi Haifa. We believed he would sell for more than a million euros. "

Instead of putting the money on David, Maccabi Tel Aviv bet on Osama Khalayla and have so far received a very mediocre striker.

In the method he tries to instill in the Mladen Krastic club, David could have been bingo.

The Serbian coach first looks for speed as well as movement and exit to open areas in passing attacks.

Elements sewn on a heater.

This is without a doubt a miss for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

"Knows how to appreciate players who are underrated."

"Maccabi Haifa's big win over Barak Bachar lies in its ability to appreciate players who are underrated," says Eyal Lachman, who coached David at MS. Ashdod. "Dean David, even in Ashdod for many years, since I promoted him to seniors, has not started often in the squad. Every time there were coaches who did not raise him in the squad, but in the end Dean David was the one who left Ashdod in the league more than once "Roi Gordana and Shlomi Azulai but it was Dean David who was the executor. Since the era of the airplane there has not been a player here who leaps into the field to get the ball with perfect timing. You will add to the movement without a ball the athleticism and speed

"Maccabi Tel Aviv did not know what many did not know in Israeli football and here is Maccabi Haifa's big win. Here Bachar's brilliance hit properly. After the era of Rokavica in Maccabi Haifa, Dean David became the winner. He is the leading striker of Maccabi Haifa And the produce is noticeable. "

"Without a doubt. I remember the tip I got from Jackie Ben Zaken. He told me that if I place players only according to training, then Dean David will not be in the squad, but in the game he is something else. He is always there. "An exceptional ending. This is a tremendous acquisition of Maccabi Haifa."

"He's always there. Dizzying ability, tremendous speed and exceptional finish."

He has 13 goals this season in all competitions.

He has 8 goals and a touchdown in 933 minutes in the Premier League.

Rokavica has the same league balance in Be'er Sheva in almost the same minutes of play.

"There is no doubt that if we were looking for a replacement for Nikita at Maccabi Haifa, Dean David would come at the best time," say Maccabi Haifa.

"In the summer when you lose the best striker in the league, you know how to buy the next best striker in the league and that's the wisdom."

Dean David will bother Maccabi Tel Aviv in Haifa tonight (20:30).

The trio behind him is enjoying it and he is enjoying the three ties that have become the horror of the teams here.

"While Maccabi Tel Aviv will probably send Guerrero to the squad, Maccabi Haifa will enjoy a purchasing player who was on the shelf and it is a pity we did not know how to bring him in," say those around Maccabi Tel Aviv.

"Maccabi Haifa was a less lethal team this season without Dean David."
