We ticked off: Today's summary clip, 25.5 (Sports 1)
In the past year, Yonatan Cohen has enjoyed stinging on Twitter with tweets and comments about the world of football, of course referring to events from his point of view as a former Maccabi Tel Aviv player, against the background of its rivalry with Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa.
Cohen, now a Pisa player, wrote several times "character does not buy in the grocery store", and also tweeted it yesterday (Tuesday), after the loss of Maccabi Haifa in the cup final and the way in which it once again lost the opportunity to win a double.

Hello, all trash talk.

Today, Cohen revealed that following the tweet, both he and his partner were abused and cursed on social media following the tweet.
By the way, Cohen deleted the tweet in the original and then tweeted "My wife imitated ... you can guess what I tweeted".
Today Cohen wrote: "Last night the boundaries were crossed. Slander and harsh curses were sent to my immediate family and my wife. I think trash talk is an integral part of sports in general and football in particular so I sometimes allow myself to sting and tease, within the bounds of good taste. I have friends who play or fan the Maccabi Haifa and nothing I write is impersonal.
"Unfortunately, there are many people who do not understand the humor and essence of trash talk.
The same people chose to come to my relatives and hurt them personally.
I am a strong person who is willing to bear the consequences of my actions, but there is no justification for my and my wife's families to be so blatantly harassed.
Hopefully next time people will take things in proportion.
"You ruined all the fun."
