After leading Hapoel Holon to the championship, Guy Pnini will return to Maccabi Tel Aviv. The belligerent instinct immediately leads to criticism: here Maccabi continues to take advantage of the budget to entice players from other teams. And offer players and coaches the biggest stage.
Just for example, how different is Israeli football, the infamous and messy - where only the reigning champion wins the coveted ticket to the Champions League qualifiers.
So simple and so sporty.
So true, the armor of Maccabi in the Euroleague is the most blatant and outrageous imbalance in Israeli sports.
But the preferred salary is not the story of Guy Pnini's return.
If Maccabi Tel Aviv were a club that lived on emotion as well, and not just on the pocket and on the wrong professional aspirations, Guy Pnini would remain in the yellow to this day. At the Olympiacos. Maccabi's sister teams who have carefully guarded their veterans on the roster, velvet-wrapped nylons, understand the importance of identity and continuity. "Professional non-compliance with staff.

Mr. Lou and his annoyance that rabbi, Pennini stripped off the yellow and wore purple, only to produce an incredible restart for a whole new five-year career, one that most players don’t achieve all their lives.
He upgraded a big club with his own hands and turned it into a giant, won the trophy and lifted a championship plate, while at the same time remaining an important player in the Israeli team.
In his own way he also corrected the image of the "bad guy" he rightly bought for himself at some really bad events, and proved to the world and to himself that he is now a good person and also a wonderful actor.
Therefore, Hapoel Holon says goodbye to him sadly but lovingly, and in the next game in which he will step on the parquet in the purple hall that has become his home for five years, he will receive a welcome from a champion, a householder and a king.

It's also not a professional story.
Not because of the few minutes that Guy Goodes gave him at the end of last season, because they will not be different from the minutes of the game that he may manage to secure this year in the league, and certainly in the Euroleague.
The pressure will be immense, every minute he gets will be suspicious as social and unprofessional.
And if he misses the first three, there will already be a buzz in the impatient crowd.
Maccabi did not invite him to strengthen it, and he did not come to advance in his career.
The story of Tomer Ginat's decision at Hapoel is already beginning to correspond with the truth.
And not because he refused Maccabi, but because it is a move that has to do with the heart.
Maccabi always signs when they imagine the glory of the Euroleague, and fires after a disappointment in Zisman or in a derby.
And maybe now, at last, she's starting to make decisions from the heart.
She chose a coach with a huge heart who connects with the players through emotion, she signed a super-consultant who brought her her last European Cup and the last time the word "love" was heard in the hall.
Through the return of Pnini to a beautiful year of retirement, and his possible referral to a professional / managerial position, perhaps Maccabi will correct itself and begin to use emotion regarding its next decisions.
So release the cynicism and criticism, love never fails.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
