History repeats itself, from the wrong side: the big miss of Maccabi Haifa

As before, Maccabi Haifa reached the final empty-handed and failed to achieve the goal - a trophy that will determine its season as historic.

Glazer's success did not come out of nowhere and Barda's role in Be'er Sheva does not matter, it is simply a huge asset to the system.

David Rosenthal concludes with a kind word to Daniel Bar Natan

Summary: Hapoel Beer Sheva - Maccabi Haifa 2: 2 (1: 3 on penalties) (Sport 1)

All the arrows indicated that Omri Glazer's career was on the way down.

Glazer, for those who forgot, opened last season at Maccabi Haifa.

At a very early stage, after the weak ability of Josh Cohen, Barak Bachar even gambled on him as the first goalkeeper.

Glazer was disappointed and Cohen returned to goal while he languished on the bench as a substitute.



After the promise was shattered, at the age of 25 Glazer was already supposed to be Has been, a goalkeeper who roams in second- and third-tier teams.

Hapoel Beer Sheva bet on Ariel Harush, he himself came as a backup.

First goalkeeper?

It did not seem to be on the horizon.

Then Hemlock was injured in front of Maccabi Haifa (the symbolism spills from every direction, just choose), Glazer got the wheel for a test round, gave gas and stopped only when he reached the victory gate.

Not perfect but good enough.

It was not his perfect game.

The equality of Maccabi Haifa was also his fault, and almost erased some excellent saves.

And yet, the victory is registered in the name of the goalkeeper, but not only his own.

In recent years, Be'er Sheva has emulated a method that has developed among the top teams in Europe and brought two "first" goalkeepers to the squad - Goresh and Haimov, Shtakus and Levita, Hemlock and Glazer, and the thing is that she always needed them.

Every goalkeeper who started as a second got the opportunity and took advantage of it.

Glazer's game yesterday is another link in taking advantage of the same opportunity from Haifa in the first round.



It is impossible to say that the reality is rosy and that tomorrow Glazer will receive an offer from Ajax, but if this season got him back on track, then the cup final promised him the first goalkeeper shirt at the start of next season.

In August he would sign for much less than that.

Not Guardiola - Barda

Every footballer's wet dream is to be Pep Guardiola, Kenny Dalgliesh, Guy Roe (the most extreme case of all) and the like - players who have made impressive careers, become icons and continued to reap fame in teams where they also played as coaches.



It is easy to forget today that the current term of Aliniv Barda as a replacement coach at Hapoel Beer Sheva is not the first.

Last season he stood on the lines for a short time.

In February 2021, just a little over a year ago, he admitted that he was "not due to be an artist" and shortly afterwards vacated his place for Maor Melikson before the arrival of Roni Levy.

It really was not for him.



So he did what any sane person who decided was not right for him: tried it again.

This time he came out with a trophy.

Must be part of the system, no matter what role.

The farewell announcement from Maccabi Tel Aviv, which was issued by Mladen Krestic a few hours before the opening kick to Teddy, re-flooded the speculation about the continuation of the Serb's path.

Hapoel Beer Sheva is the hot name that immediately comes up in its context.

He may be the one, he may not.

Breda is still undecided, and when he leaves the festivities he will have a difficult choice.

Is it unbelievable?

Will he return to the position of professional manager?



After turning Hapoel Beer Sheva into a winning club with his return from Belgium as a player, Breda put her on the track as a coach and re-established his status as the undisputed symbol of the club.

Guardiola or Dalgliesh he probably will not be, but the fact that he made Hapoel Beer Sheva's season gray and difficult to digest is unforgettable, again makes him realize that more than he needs the club, this club needs him.

In what role?

As we have come to know in recent years, it really does not matter.

Much more than just statistics

Can the achievements of a football team pass in "heredity"?

This issue is being discussed quite a bit in the United Kingdom.

The English team's accumulation of losses in the 11 - meter kicking duel has spawned a great deal of theories that deal with the question of why this happens over and over again.

The University of Bournemouth took the matter a step further and conducted a study, from which it emerged that stereotypes do have an impact on the English when it comes to decisive kicks.

When a player goes to kick, they sit at the top of the team's previous failures and from there the road to miss is short.



Apparently, Goodsway Donio does not really know Ofer Mizrahi and Dolev Haziza is not inspired by Zaha Armeli.

And yet, Maccabi Haifa with amazing statistics - the Greens have lost in the six finals they have reached in the last 37 years as champions (in their only double the trophy was raised before the championship was promised).

They advanced in the finals four times to penalty shootouts and lost in all of them, three of those fights came after a league title.

So scientific research is not here,



The historical burden may have played a role here, but there were enough other rational reasons to lose in the final.

Maccabi Haifa came into the game empty and nervous.

Her bench dictated restlessness.

Dolev Haziza continued to disappear, and Charon Cherry was not at his best either.

At the end no one was left with air.

And yes, there was the terminological preoccupation with terms like "double," "treble," and "quadruple" and with the championship celebrations planned for the evening (what closed with this municipality?), Which presumably added to the pressure.

I do not know what Bachar said to the players when they came back after the break, but at the beginning of the second half they looked different and played differently.

And yet, Maccabi Haifa has not been able to produce a semblance of dominance in this game, as it has not done in most of its games since the start of the playoffs.

If not for Vitor's misfortune and Asperia's shocking decision - making, Be'er Sheva goes down victorious after just 90 minutes.



"This is an almost historic season," Bachar said at the end.

He is right.

Victory would have defined 2021/22 in a completely different way.

It is impossible to doubt and challenge a team that has won every possible title, yes it is possible to find flaws in the one that has won "only" the championship and the junior trophies.

The Maccabi Haifa of 90/91 was said to be less good than Hapoel Petach Tikva, but the double leaves no doubt in the mind.

Maccabi Tel Aviv of 2014/15 was the club's worst champion in the previous decade and still - it won the treble.

How cruel that thin line is drawn by three bad penalties.

Respectful farewell

The judges' union had a terrible year.

Every season we say that, but this year it seems like the amount of mistakes left them exposed in the turret.

The decision to stroke Daniel Bar-Natan in the retirement season was accompanied by negative echoes.

Bar Natan was one of those referees who was under half the criticism, and the trauma of Erez Papir from the previous final was still in the minds of football fans in general and fans of Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva.

They feared the worst of all.



Last night's game was difficult to judge.

At each meeting in the previous four games between the teams at least one red card is drawn.

There was potential for one yesterday as well, but Bar Natan managed the tackle admirably.

It was not a perfect refereeing (noble yellow in the first half was required), but he was good enough to make up for the very devastating displays we saw this season.

A small headphone farce?

Question will be our troubles.
