Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Beer Sheva 0: 1 (Sport 1)

Dor Peretz is a type of open wound in Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Clubs do not like to lose a player for nothing, especially when it comes to the star of the team.

But Peretz left Israel for Italy just when he ended his contract in June 2021 and Maccabi Tel Aviv did not receive anything for him.

On the one hand these are the rules of the game, on the other hand the teams also have power in hand.

Quite a few times players that a club wants and does not reach an agreement with on the continuation of the contract, do not get minutes of play in the last season.

Peretz was unusual of course.

His contribution to Maccabi Tel Aviv was crucial in Kiryat Shalom. They also believed that he would extend his contract.

But even if he had said in January a year ago that he would not stay in the country in any way, it is doubtful that anyone in the group would have given it up.

He was last season's most important player and had no replacement.

The grant was paid by mistake, and Van Leven still insisted on the salaries from Maccabi Tel Aviv

The disintegration in Haifa began after it was replaced.

Matan Hozaz and Matan Balteksa will also end contracts with Maccabi Tel Aviv at the end of the season. Talks with their agents have already begun, but in practice both can already sign with other teams, probably in Europe where they will move for free.

Mladen Krestic asked from the moment he landed in Kiryat Shalom to examine all the players of Maccabi Tel Aviv as if they had been promoted to the senior team for the first time. No prejudices, no history, no statistics, no knowing which of them can leave at the end of the season for no consideration to the club. Just what the eyes see. Balteksa and Hozaz were among the first two he absorbed.

Baltaxa has only been in the league once in the league since the beginning of the season. During Patrick Van Leven's time, the brake had only eight appearances in all competitions, in which he recorded 565 minutes of play in total. During the period when Barak Yitzhaki coached Maccabi Tel Aviv, the left brake never started in the squad. At Krasteich he has already made five appearances in all competitions in which he played 437 minutes and scored one important goal against Bnei Sakhnin. The Serb brought him up in all the league games in the squad.

At Maccabi Tel Aviv, there are those who say that the breakup against Maccabi Haifa began with his replacement.

Balteksa was injured, forced to leave Sami Ofer and then Maccabi Tel Aviv moved Idan Nachmias to the left, where he had a very hard time - and put Andre Geralds in to play as a right-back, a role he never fulfilled.

The departure of Balteksa in Haifa, dismantled the entire defense of Maccabi Tel Aviv and led to the absorption of the three goals.

Significant increase in minutes and contribution.

In providing the buzz the improvement in the Krastich period is no less impressive and significant. Under Van Leven he started in the squad a total of twice in the league, with Barak Yitzhaki only once. With Mladen Krestic, Huzaz started all four games in the league. The winger became the dominant figure in Maccabi Tel Aviv's attack in these games. Against Bnei Sakhnin he had four threats on goal, the most of all the players. Against Maccabi Petah Tikva he also threatened the goal four times, most of all, and scored his only goal this season. Against Hapoel Beer Sheva last Saturday he recorded nine balls, again the most in the team.

Hozaz and Balteksa as mentioned will end their contracts at the end of the season.

If their agents get them good offers from abroad from now on, it will also be thanks to the credit that Krastich now gives them. Maccabi Tel Aviv want them both to continue and have already offered contracts that may be upgraded soon due to the improvement in their level with the Serbian. Shuffle between the bench and the squad and in the case of Balteksa also in the stands.As with Eden Shamir who was reborn with the man who came from Belgrade, the two conditions are no longer secret and what will happen to them next season will occupy the management of Maccabi Tel Aviv in the near future.
