Dust or stars: Yuvanovich's debut and Beer Sheva's decline

The enthusiasm in Maccabi Tel Aviv's stands for the Serbian acquisition was forgotten, Spori's removal was the essence of the detachment of the Southerners from reality.

Summary of the victory of Maccabi Tel Aviv 0: 1 over Urbani Kiryat Shmona (Sport 1)

1.

Ramzi Spori's puzzling look last night in the face of the red card in front of him, is the essence of Hapoel Beer Sheva's disconnection from reality.

Two minutes earlier, he had driven his nails into Amir Berkowitz's ankle, in a way in which Berkowitz's leg was completely sprained, and he waited patiently with the ball in his hands for the VAR ruling for Pendel.

So little did he notice that the nuisance on duty - in this case Maccabi Netanya - was there, that he did not feel that he had almost sent Berkowitz to the operating room.

The whistles of contempt, the insults, and the crowds around the leadership cars, sounded like the siren that heralds the entry of Shabbat in the ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods.

Four losses from the last six games, all against teams that showed attendance, are not a siren, but an alarm.

With the acquisition of Maccabi Tel Aviv, the second place - seemingly respectable after a few years of drought - is also in danger.

True, Danny Amos stopped a few kicks and Beer Sheva had situations of occupation, but it was enough to see the perfect team goal of Maccabi Netanya, to understand who is working on the field and who is canceling it.

Maccabi Tel Aviv understands: "The acquisition of Juvanovic is an expression of trust in Krestic"

So much so that he did not understand what was happening.

Roni Levy's story is reminiscent - and not a little - of Eli Gutman's story in Betar Jerusalem in the 2000/01 season. There are no owners or management or players who can stop it. The

karma is terrible, and from this place it is also difficult to rise, whether Roni Levy vacates his chair or whether the owner ties him there. In the neighborhood: "Even if Maccabi Haifa does not appear until the end of the season, it will win the championship."

But even that has been questioned.

True, it is impossible to say about Maccabi Tel Aviv that it plays and behaves like a champion, but this league is so fickle, language and name, the spark can arise and with it the dormant giant.

Fact is, one Georgia Juvanovic shook South Tel Aviv this week like an earthquake in Cyprus.

And it's amazing.

We are in January, Maccabi Tel Aviv brought a striker who only next week will celebrate 23, who came from a Serbian team that is not one of the two big ones (which are also not that big), which has an international record about the same as Avi Stroll and one appearance in the young team - and the stands behaved like after his arrival Of Valkyr Silva of Uruguay to the Maccabiah Stadium in the summer of 1989.

Thirst sometimes forces you to drink random liquids, without estimating their nature, and the audience of Maccabi is thirsty for excitement.

Mitash Goldhaar paid 1.9 million euros this week for Juvanovic and flirted for free with Eran Zehavi, only to return the spark to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

After 8 minutes the clumsy guy, with the Ivica gaze, turned around in Bloomfield and tried to figure out where he was, he got the ball with his face to the goal, and with one fatal touch, closed the game.

Valkir Silva collapsed - literally - the stands of the Maccabiah in 1989 and did not even reach 1990, so it is still difficult to wonder about the boy's jar, other than the fact that he carries with him stardust of the kind reserved for the greatest.

Beginner luck or a pinch of potential?

We'll have to wait for that.

Indeed, such a buzz can do miracles and wonders for Israeli football that shuffles.

To the attention of Maccabi Haifa.

By and large, I'm not such a big believer in the January transfer window.

Most often, players move from team to team in January just because they can no longer tolerate their previous place of residence.

The exceptions are usually the players who play in summer leagues (from March to November), and for them January behaves like the rest of June, but even those - certainly if it is not a league that goes into winter break - do not have a special training camp, and they have to join a team sleep.

Those who move from team to team in the same league can survive the move, but those who come from another country are unlikely to be able to get started under these conditions.

Players like Juvanovic can be exceptional because they have excelled in her team, and are experiencing a professional and economic upgrade here.

Rada Fritza, Maccabi Tel Aviv's most successful January acquisition, arrived after finishing a season at Rosenburg.

And perhaps a language lies in the secret of the successful transfers of the January window: knowing how to bring the players that this transition is natural to them and not forced, to the attention of Maccabi Haifa and Avis Chibuta.

More comfortable without it?

I do not know if Maccabi Petah Tikva will succeed in its rescue campaign from relegation - there are only 4 contenders, Betar Jerusalem in the content, and there are two tickets to hell - but the one who doubts success is Hapoel Jerusalem. It is very difficult to stay in the league without a proven striker Stylish as they may be like Guy

Badash

's The departure - as well as the conduct with him - of the solar era of Umm al-Fahm is insane.

He's scoring goals, and that's exactly what a team fighting for its life must do.

Sometimes, players who have already gone through several things, find it difficult to return to positions and make pressure and go crazy in training on a small area.

The wisdom of Sisyphean coaches, the ones who turn a bunch of young people into a fighting unit, is to also give space to those who will bring the experience and the touch.

It seems that Ziv Arieh gave up this part, preferred quiet over Barak, and it could be that in doing so, Hapoel Jerusalem gave up its share in the big leagues.

No need for more.

You have to buy a particularly large Teapacks and delete every bad word that has been written about Bnei Lam in recent months.

The bet on a coach who is connected to the club, who plays on passions, and wants an attack, can yield ridiculous goals in the first few weeks, but as time progresses and the team connects, his football gets signs of a particularly sought-after product.

Maccabi Netanya is not even in the place that leads to the top playoff, and it was also eliminated from the cup, but its fans came back to enjoy, and sometimes do not need more than that.
