Panic for the tail: when will the management of Beitar and Hapoel Tel Aviv understand the seriousness of the situation?
Aboxis and Medicine know they are standing before a broken trough, but they don't seem to have any sense of panic.
Omar Atzili reminded us again how scary he is, but the brake problem rightly disturbs the rest of Maccabi Haifa and Rotem Hatuel becomes a super striker.

Summary of Maccabi Haifa's victory 1:4 over Maccabi Netanya (Sport 1)
Maccabi Haifa, as befits a proud champion that built itself correctly during the summer, has inexhaustible strengths.
The ease with which this team scores thirds and fourths, whether it is the Red Star or Maccabi Netanya, is almost incomprehensible, but what is hard to digest is that Omer Atzili came off the bench throughout the Champions League qualifiers.
The most explosive player in the Premier League, the one who can turn straw into gold, was hardly a factor in the qualification.
It's not containable on so many levels.
Whatever the reason, this is a super player who has been given a secondary role in Europe.
When you add to this his decline at the end of last season and Almog Booker's exposure to the WhatsApp conversations that preceded the minors affair, you create a fog that is enough to make you forget how good he is.
And he's not good, he's great.
Maccabi Haifa is scary with and without him.

Maccabi Haifa, as of now, is a scary team with and without Azili.
Much has been said about Gal Alberman and the excellent scouting team, and any further words will be unnecessary, but despite the upheavals, we must remember that we are only after the second round (Haifa's first) and that Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Beer Sheva are signaling that it will be a very interesting league this season.
The champion's weak point right now is the brake position.
The departure of Bogdan Palanich was brewing for a long time, and when the move happened, it left Alberman and Barak Bacher in a race against the clock.
The Greens have until 1:00 a.m. Friday morning to find a foreign player in the position, or they will advance to the group stage of the Champions League with a very lacking defense.
The turning of the Belgian Maximiliano Cupria and the financial value of the new candidates - around 4 million euros - illustrated how difficult it is to land a quality player here in such a limited window of time, even if you play in the Champions League.
At the moment, this is Maccabi Haifa's biggest challenge, and it is not easy at all.

Bnei Yehuda corner Beitar Jerusalem
Yossi Aboksis never imagined in his wildest dreams that he would start a season with nine mandatory goals after two rounds.
The one who turned the underdog position into a star in his playing and coaching career has a hard time digesting the position he is in, although he also knows that there is no real surprise here.
The squad of Beitar Jerusalem is currently suitable for the National League.
There is something symbolic in the defeat of Abouxis and Barak Abramov to Hapoel Beer Sheva. A little less than two years ago Abouxis broke the wheel from Beer Sheva to return to Bnei Yehuda. Except that Aboxis is not really a magician, he is a football coach who works with the material he has, and just as the material in Bnei Yehuda was not of sufficient quality, so is the one now in Beitar Jerusalem.
Even if your name is Pep Guardiola and you coach a team that has received permission to play in the Premier League in mid-August, you will probably grab fourth and fifth places.
This does not look good.

As a young goalkeeper, you have two or three opportunities that will determine where your career will take you.
Did you do the job?
The sky's the limit.
did you fail?
You have no chance.
Dodo Avatt happened to enter the Hapoel Haifa goal instead of Avi Peretz who was injured and became one of the greatest goalkeepers in Israel, Daniel Peretz took with both hands, literally, the chance given to him at the expense of Daniel Tanenbaum to become a leading player in Maccabi Tel Aviv, with Tanenbaum himself taking advantage of Andreas' injury Ioanniotis to deliver one of the best ever seasons by a Premier League goalkeeper.
Yes, Beitar also had one who was successful. Ariel Harosh, today on the bench of Hapoel Beer Sheva, made his way to the first team. On the other hand, Tslilim Katucha, for example, grabbed seven goals from Hapoel Tel Aviv in his debut game and was quickly relegated to the lower leagues.
Nathaniel Deloya was not defined as the future goalkeeper of Beitar Jerusalem, but at the age of 24, in the absence of alternatives and proper preparation of the club, he entered the 11. It is cruel and very unfair to drop the bag on him, but Deloya, who also recorded a tremendous save in the second half, was responsible the exclusive goal for Hapoel Be'er Sheva's advantage.
Deluya's problem is that in his role and without proper brakes in front of him, it will be difficult to restore his confidence. Beitar is not in a position to pat himself on the back, and the fact that Aboxis himself said that "we will have to think about whether to bring in a goalkeeper" indicates So for him, Deloya will get a last chance, if at all, against Nes Ziona.
This meeting may turn out to be critical, even though we are only in the third round.
Another display like this from Delvia and Bitar can affect the entire club, in the short and long term.
Our summer was excellent.
And yours?
How was Hapoel Tel Aviv's summer?
It's really one of those cases where it depends on who you ask.
For the Nisanov brothers, these were the best months since they took the lead in the club, the property yielded a return of hundreds of percent, only in their case when the coffers got richer, the professional capital was depleted.
The two victories in the Toto Cup raised cautious optimism among the team's fans.
If the loss to Hapoel Haifa was somehow understandable, the home defeat against Sakhnin reflected how serious the situation is.
The owner's equation was simple: save money and the results will come by themselves.
Well, it doesn't work that way.
He understands, those above him do not.

Hapoel Tel Aviv now has an away game against Maccabi Netanya and then hosts Hapoel Beer Sheva.
It is not impossible that at the end of these four cycles she will have 0 points on the balance sheet and Kobe Medicine will be called for a conversation, to put it mildly, but that won't help either.
Leave the fact that medicine is really not to blame for the situation, if anyone out there thinks that such a move will achieve results - it is not the case.
Just like with Aboxis, you can be an excellent trainer, but if you don't have the required material you will get kidnapped.
Medicine, apparently, saw this coming.
Benny Raina climbed the table last night above Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Tel Aviv. The words are not written to mock any of these teams, but the sense of panic of two of the flagships of Israeli football should be quite clear. It should be, because it is not certain that this is indeed the case. With both of them.
Rotem Hatuel scores against Beitar Jerusalem (Sport 1)
A little bit to finish: Rotem Hatuel has become an extremely reliable scorer, but you have to see the goal he scored last night against Beitar Jerusalem to understand why. Many players score from a corner because of a correct position or jump. Hatuel's position during the lift was not accurate, he was far from it The striker gauged the direction of the ball, ran back and hit it in. It's not just technique, it's a perfect reading of the situation and phenomenal orientation in the area.
