After the scandal that broke the records of the lack of professionalism, the sector must get rid of the culture of shortcuts, disregard for laws and allegations of racial discrimination.

We ticked off: Today's summary clip, 17.5 (Sports 1)

1.

What is most disturbing in the story of Bnei Sakhnin is not only the cancellation of the game, and the huge damage to the thousands of Maccabi Haifa fans who came and were on their way to the game;

Nor is the fact that less sensitive security guards came to the sensitive game than required, with some not even qualified for the job;

Not even the fact that the people of Sakhnin are doomed to disaster at the level of organization and have had some of these fads this season;

You know what, not even the discriminatory narrative, with the racial motive, that you will present in the disciplinary court.



What is most troubling is the lack of professionalism.

Bnei Sakhnin was promoted to the Premier League in 2003 and with the exception of two separate seasons in which it spent in the National League and immediately returned, it has been here for almost 20 years.

In the first years it was still possible to understand: a team that arrived quite quickly (unlike Bnei Reina) from the Second Division to the Premier League, and functioned without a home (hosted in Kiryat Eliezer).

But if after so many years the team is run amateurishly, then the failure is of Israeli football that gives it discounts time and time again so that it does not claim discrimination on racial grounds.

Truth be told: an unwanted guest in the Doha stands, the police are diligently trying not to enforce the law there, and even when they are thrown out of their homes - because of disciplinary offenses - they are unable, or unwilling, or do not intend to meet standards.

What did Abu Yunis say yesterday?

"Because 20 security guards are canceling a game?"

Clearly, for what he would say otherwise, he has become accustomed to forgiveness and the fact that near Sakhnin one walks like one walks home when Dad goes to bed at noon.



Not only because of a shortage of 20 security guards, the game was canceled, but because despite repeated warnings, endless discussions, quota setting and a saga that lasted from the beginning of the week - Sakhnin did not meet the conditions.

And as mentioned, this is a veteran team in the Premier League, not a team that first encounters the conditions set by the police.



Canceling a game in the Premier League, canceling a celebration for fans who came from all over the country, harming the broadcasting franchisee, harming the Toto and Winner guesses - all of these require heavy, hurtful and deterrent punishment.

Not because it is a team from the sector, but precisely because it is a team from Israel, and we should all treat it just as we would any other team in the Premier League.

This time the fans are not to blame - a claim that any management that has vicarious responsibility claims - this time it is the direct responsibility of the association.

And on the fringes - and perhaps most importantly - of these things, all groups from the Arab sector need to understand: shortcuts, disregard for laws, claims of racial discrimination - these are things that it is time to get rid of.

At the beginning of the season, Hapoel Ixl was thrown into an amateur league because it did not meet the conditions of the license to play as a professional team;

Eight years ago, Maccabi Umm al-Fahm finished its way in the professional leagues with a final score in the league of minus 4;

Claims as well as evidence of game biases, result sequences, double contracts, surround the sector.

All of these things exist in the general sector as well, but much less, certainly not in proportion to the number of groups from each sector.



Until there is a vicious campaign against these phenomena at all, without making socio-political calculations, we will see more cancellations of games at the last minute, or even a postponement of them by a few hours as has already happened this season for the same team.

Enough, Khalas, tired.

Maccabi Tel Aviv needs to invest in players who are on the rise.

2.

In contrast to their previous meeting in Bloomfield, in the semi-finals, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Beer Sheva played yesterday for prestige only, and perhaps for honor, because there is really no meaning between second and third place.

The narrative around these two teams is the million dollar question: what will they do to prevent Maccabi Haifa (and Barak Bachar) from winning a third consecutive championship next season.

This is probably why they do not yet have a coach for next season.

Both teams are debating between a Bachar Bachar coach and a suitable coach for the crowd.



It seems that Maccabi Tel Aviv has a candidate who meets both requirements, Vladimir Ivitch, only it is worth remembering that things that work in 2019, will not always work in 2023.

In other words, not only has Maccabi changed - home players have matured, home players have left, foreign players have passed the expiration date - perhaps Ivica has also changed.

Trying to advance to major leagues and finally returning to the Israeli league is a default, which stems from a financial temptation.

The coach will not be as hungry, and not sure the team will benefit from it.

Life is not a plan as you request, and the expected arrival of Eran Zehavi does not bode well for him to return to the same point from 2016, and score 35 goals a season.



Zahavi has suffered two knee injuries in the past year, in July he will be 35, and his arrival - expensive in itself - promises a return on investment through the crowd, but will not necessarily guarantee a return to hegemony.

Zahavi is still the greatest player of the last generation - Bey Peer - but in the last line of his career.

The flirtation with Dor Peretz and Eli Desa also indicates a desire to restore something that cannot be restored, such as building the car in FIFA 23.



Maccabi Tel Aviv needs to invest in players who are on the rise, in order to guarantee itself not the return of the championship but the return of hegemony.

Her move towards Oscar Gluch and Parfa Gaigon is the right move;

She will have to tie up Georgia Juvanovic to Kiryat Shalom;

The trick would be to locate players of this type, and produce a dynamic, terrifying, scary team, just the kind that takes championships here.

No preservation, no restoration, but an arm.

In the same breath, Hapoel Beer Sheva must understand that the desire to compete in the big clubs in Israeli football must be reconciled with a good base of home players.

Be'er Sheva sacrificed this narrative in favor of bringing in players, some older and some beyond the climax, who could give a star to the star batteries in other teams, but with all due respect, these were never and will never be Breda, Melixon and Buzaglo and its foreigners could not be Ugo, Hoban and Tony Wakma.



Be'er Sheva needs to focus on local material, and its youth team should not be saved from relegation at the last minute in a stressful game in Kfar Saba.

The loss of Itamar Shabiru, who gave a wonderful season to Izzy Sheretsky, and the loan of Eili Madmon to Bnei Yehuda, is proof of a wrong strategic decision.

In Be'er Sheva, unlike Maccabi Haifa, the crowd is mostly local or regional, so his love for local symbols or players is greater than for titles.

And 3 championships in a row will not change that.

Be'er Sheva must maintain the house, literally.

3.

No matter who will be the fourth Israeli representative in Europe next season, she will not go far.

Her score is so low she will not even be ranked in the early second round of the Conference League and will sooner or later fly in front of a much stronger club.

Therefore, the question of who represented us better in Europe does not exist.

Any team that is not there, will not be able to set a huge budget that will significantly improve its staff, or make it a candidate for the championship.

The fourth representative's question is who deserves more.

So Sakhnin solved the problem yesterday, also in terms of its score in the final table, but mostly in terms of visibility.



Hapoel Tel Aviv passed the licensing test last week, but it is not certain that even its fans will agree that it deserves more than Maccabi Netanya, which proved, especially in the top playoffs, that it is a deadly team, playing football that makes even those who are not its fans want success.

That being said, she has no haters.

Hapoel Tel Aviv should focus this week on preventing further fucking in the derby.

Someone has already said that a random victory in a derby will not erase all previous abuses, and yet, a victory in a derby may prove to all of us and especially to Hapoel, that it deserves to play in Europe, even if Maccabi Netanya deserves much more.
