Tikatnu - Today's Summary Clip 3.4 (Sports 1)

1.

Okay, we understand that Maccabi Tel Aviv will not be a champion this season either.

Did we also understand why?

When you look at Mladen Krastic's Maccabi Tel Aviv you see the improvement, you can see the striving for offensive play, less ballooning, more versatile.

The question is whether the group is strong enough and the answer is no.

True, in the 16 games Krastic played in the league, he won 11 times and lost only once, to Maccabi Haifa, but let's break that statistic.

Maccabi Tel Aviv has won under Krastich in all the games against the teams that are in the lower playoffs.

Nine games, 22 right-handed goals, 100 percent success rate, 2.44 goals per game.

It was the sense of illusion that accompanied the comeback of the trophy holder, which narrowed the double-digit gap it had against Maccabi Haifa.

But when it comes to the top playoff teams - facing them ultimately competing and achieving a title - Krestic has achieved just two wins in seven games;

10 points out of 21 possible, only 10 goals.

That is, 48 ​​percent success and only 1.43 goals per game.

So why is Maccabi Tel Aviv half successful against its main competitors and scoring one goal less in the game (and not just because of the VAR)?

Because they are better football teams and when there are matchups and teams that show character or are not eliminated, they are sometimes preferred, and Maccabi Tel Aviv is another team in the top playoffs.

Not at the level of winning the championship, not even at the level of fighting for the championship.

Take a look at Maccabi Netanya's equalizer, from the foreign expenditure to the excellent kick, in the movement, of Aviv Avraham to the bottom corner of Daniel Peretz.

This whole move was poetry: touching, unexpected move, movement, landing.

This is not a random move, this is football that came to Netanya naturally and is a team in fifth place.

And that was only Aviv Avraham's 12th goal in the Premier League.

This is not a super scorer, but a team with style and character.

And if Maccabi Tel Aviv's defense falls apart in the face of such a move, it is probably not good enough to compete for titles.

You can talk about Eran Zehavi for next season, you can also fantasize about a deadly stranger, but Maccabi does not need it because the problem is with the concept.

It needs to re-dominate the market of the best Israelis, it needs to lead in every parameter, maybe it also needs to change a paradigm, maybe sometimes even an Israeli team thinks.

A club that offered its sold out in the playoffs could not afford mediocrity because its crowd is not used to mediocrity.

What is there is not enough.

Another team that has been looking for character for several years is Hapoel Tel Aviv.

This weekend, we were told, they rejected an offer from Bodo Glimt to take on Doron Leidner.

Bodo Glimt - beyond being a demon in the past of Betar Jerusalem - is the Norwegian champions, who are going out for a new season to defend their title and already have a meeting with Rome in the quarterfinals of the Conference League on Thursday.

Who stops a young player from advancing Only those who run for a title or compete for a place in the European Cup. These two options are not relevant in the case of Hapoel Tel Aviv. She did not want to go anywhere - she does not have a license for Europe - Youth players.

This is probably not why Leidner was not released.

Apparently Hapoel Tel Aviv is waiting for a higher financial offer and wants to bite more of the diamond.

This is also the explanation of Sharon Nisnov's puzzling and delusional lament that Osher Davida did not make the young team last week, so much so that he called Alon Hazan's decisions - straight as a level - the title "pragmatism."

The Nisnovs use the resources of Hapoel Tel Aviv - the work of Omar Boxenbaum in the youth department - to fund their activities at the club.

Nice toy Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Put the kids to the presentation, get mad at those who get angry when they have no expression in front of foreign eyes and wait for the bonanza.

The so-called: Eli Tabib without degrees.

Hapoel Tel Aviv can take these children, add six significant foreigners to them, win derbies and run for titles.

Only from the crowd that will come back and fill Bloomfield can the debts in FIFA and CAS be covered, but come on, in order to bring in significant foreigners you have to invest. And for that you have to sell Davida and Leidner. Bring in money from home?

Bring money from home?

Are you crazy?

What are we, Alona?

If Hapoel

Nof Hagalil can be said to have "fallen" into the Premier League and its natural position is in the national league, Hapoel Jerusalem (Katamon) was established to give the club back its great days.

Therefore, the 0: 0 between these two clubs yesterday reflects in theory the failure of Hapoel Jerusalem this season, which despite its deceptive position, is a candidate to drop out again within a season to the national league.

And as a club it is worth more.

Only 20 goals (21 goals if you consider the technical loss in the derby) Hapoel Jerusalem scored from the start of the season, like Nof Hagalil, but that's not the point.

In 12 games she did not score and she scored 15 percent of the goals in one game for the network of the same Galilee landscape in the second round.

Four goals out of 20 were scored by Idan Shemesh, who is no longer in the team because he did not get along with coach Ziv Arieh and preferred big money in the second division over the "hammer, sickle and international" of the small, high-quality stand of Hapoel Jerusalem fans.

When the Jerusalem board of directors, professional director Shai Aharon and CEO Uri Sheretzky sit down and conclude this season, they will learn one painful fact: You can bet on young people, you can let a coach who loves young people run with them for a few years, but it comes at a price. Time, there is no balance in the staff, no experience, no strengths in moments of truth and there is a coach who prefers to control young people rather than face stars.

Hapoel Jerusalem has a way and a vision, Mental revision.

How is it not a gate?

The deadly combination between David Foxman and Shlomi Ben Avraham, who is on the grass and who in VAR, yesterday gave birth to one of the most puzzling goal disqualifications in the history of the infamous device, that of Alon Turgeman from Hapoel Haifa against Maccabi Petah Tikva.

The gate was disqualified because Matthew Liovich, who was lying in the five-yard box in a different position, allegedly interfered with the defense fulfilling its role.

In this matter it is better for the Union of Judges to bring in the best minds to discuss the question: Is the VAR meant only to correct mistakes or also to find mistakes.

In other words: should the VAR disqualify gates that are not in dispute, for which there is no attack on the judge, for which there is no doubt and only the VAR creates the doubt?

After all the VAR was introduced into football to serve as an armed eye and prevent human error, and not to serve as a bionic eye that would redefine the term error or fate, which are the heart of this game.

This is the difference between a real game and a football game on the PlayStation.

Lucky was the Levita fan who did justice with this game, and made it clear to us that 0-0 can also be exciting and it is better that these two teams continue to accompany us in the Premier League next season as well.
