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

The decision to fire Roni Levy was made by Alona Barkat during the break in Hapoel Beer Sheva's game against Hapoel Tel Aviv last Saturday when she was in Miami, for the sake of taking off with her husband Eli on the occasion of a family event.

If the game had ended in a turnaround and a victory for Hapoel Beer Sheva, the dismissals would have been postponed, but it ended in a draw and to the coach's credit, the fact that Dor Micha was sent off could not stand.

The fact that for a little over half Beer Sheva played with ten players was not an issue that should be eased for Barkat.

It made its decision based on the first half which was not good and at the end of which Hapoel Beer Sheva was behind.

Public criticism, mainly from team fans but also from parts of the media, about the quality of the team's game has not led to layoffs, but to success rates in the last eight rounds.

Since January 8, when Hapoel Beer Sheva lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the league for the first time this season, it has dropped the percentage of points and Barkat decided it was time to make the shock in the coaching position, believing that with another professional in the coaching position she could return to the championship and continue dreaming of a trophy. The country.

Further evidence of Barkat's motive can be found in what she said yesterday to the players at a meeting she convened after deciding to fire Roni Levy.

"I'm not giving up on anything and I have big plans for this club," Barkat told the players.

"I do not think we came out of the race for the championship and I expect you to come tomorrow (today) to the cup game against Maccabi Petah Tikva with high energies so that we will have a good result and continue to the next stage."

Barkat did not want to hear yesterday about any possibility of appointing another coach other than Aliniv Barda.

She informed her professional manager of the decision to fire Levy only a quarter of an hour before entering into a face-to-face conversation with the coach in which she informed him of her decision.

Breda, who was reluctant to coach the team, tried to dissuade Barkat from firing Levy and even suggested in case she had already made the decision to appoint another coach in his place, but Barkat decided he would be the coach and made it clear to him that he could not refuse her.

Breda had great difficulty with the decision due to his closeness to Roni Levy.

Like Eric Benado who decided to resign due to loyalty to Levy, Barda also felt very close to the coach and felt he was involved in many decisions that have been in the team since the beginning of the season, so he was uncomfortable inheriting his place on the lines, but as mentioned Barkat insisted The line ends with him next to Maor Melikson, the professional director of the youth department.

He wanted to maintain loyalty, but he really had no choice.

There is no doubt at all that the leading candidate for Barkat for the team's training next season is Ran Ben Shimon.

If the MS coach

Ashdod was available now, he was signed for a season and a half.

But despite her good relationship with Jackie Ben Zaken, Barkat prefers at this stage not to turn to Ashdod and ask for the coach, although this may also suit Ben Zaken who has a coach in the youth team, Eli Levy, whom he appoints as senior coach after Ben Shimon.

One way or another, for Barkat, the significant thing today is to pass Maccabi Petah Tikva in the cup.

For this, Hapoel Beer Sheva must erase a 1-0 deficit from the first game.

Aliniv Barda will miss tonight the dismissed Dor Micha, the yellowed Danilo Asperia and will hope to get a few minutes as a substitute from Spurs hints that he had a hard time finishing his first training session yesterday after three days of illness.

Hatem 'Abd al-Hamid will receive a shot and go up on the 11th.

Omri Glazer is expected to continue between the posts even though Ariel Hemlock has played in the state cup so far.
