After the Greens have secured a second consecutive championship, it's time to analyze the 21/22 season in Carmel • On the menu: Breakthrough of the year, the players who made the difference, and one coach - who won everything • Uri Ozen concludes


Last night (Monday), Maccabi Haifa officially won the title of national champion for the 21/22 season, after having already secured it in the previous round.

Now, it's time for the special issue of "Israel Today" - for a green season for the second time in a row.

Barak Bachar

Fifth championship in the last seven seasons (in two different teams) - inconceivable.

Championship Architect.

Football season is a world in and of itself.

Lots of challenges, changes, unsuccessful plans and improvisations that are performed on the go.

This season Bachar faced countless challenges.

A disappointing season opener in Europe, a serious injury for the captain and his most important player, a big drop in the ability of the complementary brake and a fall with strangers in two positions.


Despite all this, he is on his way to a historic season that could end in taking every possible degree within the local framework and qualifying for a European home stage.

Bachar upgraded Noble and turned him into a numbers machine, took Rodriguez and played with him in every possible position in linking and defense while producing attacking patterns accordingly, made Sean Goldberg the best Israeli stopper in the league and Dean David a scorer he did not know and faced great losses and internal crises With key players. 


For the fact that Bachar is a wonderful director of games, a speaker and writer already in his days in KS and BS.

But his ability to deal with stress and crises (individual and team) while answering in one of the most stressful teams in the country, is no less amazing.

This is the reason why, with all due respect to the owners, managers and players, my man of the season at Maccabi Haifa is Barak Bachar, without competition.

protection


Josh Cohen

- 3,259 minutes.

Another stable and good season for Cohen.

Good personality, quiet on the goal line, a high level of concentration and impressive stability make up for mediocre footwork.

It will be interesting to see if he continues next season or not, and if the talented Roy Mishpati gets the chance as the Greens' first goalkeeper.

Score - 6.5

Sean Goldberg

- 2,669 minutes.


Breakthrough of the season.

He grew up in Maccabi Tel Aviv and hardly got a chance in the first team. He also played for Hapoel Tel Aviv, Beitar and BS and was always a complementary player. , Caused Bachar to place him next to Planich (who until then had played as a left brake).

Goldberg, who many have wondered why he came to the club, finishes the season as the outstanding stopper of the season with excellent chances to lead the national team defense alongside Miguel Vitor.

Score - 8

Raz Meir

- 1,512 minutes, 2 cooks.

Grew up as a winger and became a defender for Bachar in both wings.

Precisely offensively, does not put impressive numbers to say the least.

But the steep drop in Noble's numbers, which came in parallel with Meir's injury, has made many skeptics understand his contribution to the team's success.

But in order to make the leap, he will have to upgrade significantly in the final action decisions.

Score - 6.5


San Menachem

- 1,902 minutes, 2 goals, one touchdown.

He started the season as the first defender in the team and one of the most confident players in Bachar's squad.

Finishes it off as a substitute midfielder and right-back who has been converted, mostly because of bad decisions he makes defensively. 

Score - 5

Bogdan Planich

- 2,972 minutes.

Many times, the success of a brakeman should be credited to the brakeman who plays alongside him.

Planich, who last season turned Ofri Arad into a national team stopper, did the same this season for Goldberg.

So despite a slight decline in capacity compared to last season, Planic has a premiership in this Greens championship.

Score - 7

Ofri Arad

- 1,040 minutes.

The personal tragedy he suffered, damaged his ability at the beginning of the season and allowed Goldberg to take his place in the squad and the squad.

It will be interesting to see how he handles at the start of the season with the decline in his status and his becoming a third and possibly fourth brake.

Score - 5

Mikael Alphonse

- 1,134 minutes.

Not particularly impressed since he arrived.

Along with impressive physical abilities, did not show offensive qualities at a high level and also defensively, was not clean.

It is doubtful he will continue next season.

Score - 5

Jose Rodriguez

- 1,936 minutes, 3 cooks. 

Bachar's department store player.

Shield, brake in three, knot.

Bachar loves such players in his team (AA Hoban)

Score - 6.5

Ali Muhammad

- 2,503 minutes, 3 cooks.

Entered Neta Lavie's shoes as a big man and allowed in many Maccabi Haifa games to attack with five or six players while managing the game great (the midfielder who delivered the most accurate passes in the league) and extracted the most balls in the opponent's half (72-19 more than the next in the category).

 Score - 7


Neta Lavie -

821 minutes, one cooking.

The Maccabi Haifa player in the previous two years has not been able to return properly from the injury in the season opener against Kiryat.

Bachar's attempt to force him back stopped the insane run.

Score - 4.5

Muhammad Abu Fani

- 1,939 minutes, 3 goals, 4 assists.

One of Haifa's most important moves this season was the extension of Abu Fani's contract.

The most senior home player on the team this season, was a significant writer in the link of Barak Bachar.

The best 50/50 player in the league, even though he is worth higher numbers and that should be his overriding goal next season.

Score - 7

Charon Cherry

- 2,754 minutes, 9 goals, 7 assists.

It's never trivial that a foreign actor gets the captain's film.

Cherry, who took refuge in Noble's shadow for most of the regular season and even lost the team shirt when Bachar tried to get Neta Lavie back on track, came to the money time with all his might and almost alone carried the Greens attack in the playoffs with magical moments of true winner.

Score - 8

Mahmoud Jaber

- 867 minutes, 3 goals, 4 assists.

The only young home player (year 99) who was significant on the way to the championship.

The player of the month in October, who was stopped by injuries, but he definitely earned his place in the rotation in the busiest and highest quality squad for the Greens.

attack

Noble Omar

- 2,822 minutes, the king of goals (19), the king of cooking (9), the most key dedication, the most threats to the frame.

Player of the season, period.

Despite the big drop in ability and numbers (only one goal and one touchdown since the injury and loss in KS in the 22nd round), it is impossible to ignore the unusual numbers he put up until that game, numbers we were used to getting from only one, Eran Zehavi.

Score - 8.5

Dolev Haziza

- 2,606 minutes, 10 goals, 6 assists.

Good season for firecrackers, despite some decline compared to last season.

Along with good numbers and great minutes, there are still moments when he suffers from over-touching the ball.

Something he will have to improve, probably in European games.

Score - 6.5

Dean David

- 2,494 minutes, 15 goals, 5 assists.

One of the hardest things for a football player is the transition from a small, non-stressful team, to a club for which anything but a championship is a failure.

Dean David arrived in Haifa at the age of 25, after scoring five goals at Ashdod CBS, with a former national team striker and a foreign striker competing for his position.

Until the beginning of November, Bachar was not locked into which of the three is the senior striker, but since then, David has left no room for doubt with great numbers, important goals and as a bonus, he also got to wear the Israeli national team shirt for the first time.

Score - 7.5

Mavis Chibuta

- 460 minutes, one goal.

Arrived as a great hope and even scored a very important goal for Teddy, but beyond that, failed to stand out. 

Score - 4.5

Goodsway Donio

- 1,084 minutes, 4 goals, 4 assists.

Along with beautiful moments, especially as a substitute (one of the reasons for the unforgettable turnaround against Maccabi Tel Aviv), he was not really as dominant as a foreign striker should be. In his position, Maccabi Haifa needs a better player to upgrade next season.

Score - 5

Point to note

Yankele Shachar is investing millions in the youth department and indeed Maccabi Haifa has won two championships in a row in the youth league in the previous two years.

Nonetheless, not even one player from these yearbooks has won significant minutes in the senior team and it does not look like that will change next season.

Even in Israel's youth teams, there is almost no representation of Maccabi Haifa.


It may be time to change perceptions in the green department, which will focus on faster promotion of talent (now there is a subsidiary group), while giving up the desire to take a youth championship.

All this in the hope that in the next championships, there will also be significant players who have grown in the division and will be able to continue to go to higher quality leagues overseas. 

Also his partner

- Uri Dahan (137 minutes), Ryan Strain (492 minutes), Rami Gershon (213 minutes), Taleb Twataha (95 minutes), Maor Levy (288 minutes, 2 goals), Ben Shehar (408 minutes, 1 goal, One cooking).

Were we wrong?
