The block of change: Beitar Jerusalem recognized an opportunity and took advantage of it

Beitar Jerusalem finally met a team from their league and proved that the hated term "club spirit" is still true for them. Also: the change of Asperia, the agenda behind the loans from Maccabi Tel Aviv and a thought about Eliniv Barda, who has entered a dangerous crossroads in his career

Summary of Beitar Jerusalem's victory 0:3 over Ness Ziona section (Sport1)

If a poll were held among all football fans, including those of Beitar Jerusalem, after the 5:0 defeat to Hapoel Beer Sheva, it is likely that 89.7 percent (you have to play it reliably with a non-round number and a decimal point) would think that the team would be relegated at the end of the season Beitar had nothing to look for against Maccabi Netanya and Be'er Sheva, they simply did not appear in the same league.

Ness Ziona is already its own league, even so the victory last night (Sunday) was not automatic.

Beitar does not have and will not have an automatic victory this year. The fact that they got three points in the third round, when less than a month before they did not know if they would even play in the Premier League, it may not be an obvious miracle, but it is a symbol of a renewed revival. Beitar needed the points Her debut as soon as possible.

In the first two cycles it was not possible, this time it is.

And now, the face of the derby.

Needed her debut points asap.

There is no such expression in sports as "club spirit".

He bites into the professional responsibility of the coach and interprets an almost mystical entity on the abilities of the players.

Did the team win?

The spirit of the club.

Does the careless penalty go in after all?

The spirit of the club.

These losers got a goal again in the 90th minute?

This is also the spirit of the club.

It's clichéd, oppressive and even unbearable - but it's the best in Beitar Jerusalem. There's no other club that has the wind like this in a situation like this, and the truth is that the explanation makes a lot of sense. When you bring approximately 4,500 people to an away game despite being particularly dangerously close to despair, you get its push. Beitar is made up of a few players with talent whose path in the Premier League is still unclear, players who need that little push to stand out - and when they get it against an opponent of their level they have the power to win.

More in Walla!

What is behind the luxury tower built in the heart of Ramat Gan?

Got on the nerves of Turner residents.

Danilo Asperia is not really loved in Be'er Sheva.

Everyone saw the talent last season, but quite a few times his quick feet ended up running into the signs outside the latitude lines.

He would juggle aimlessly and more than once got on the nerves of the Turner residents.

The Colombian had only two goals last year.

After three cycles this season he already has three.

What led to the change?

Maybe it's the fact that in Beitar he became a go-to-guy, the most significant foreigner who landed in the team this summer. Maybe it's the motivation to prove in his second year in Israel, when he's just before the twilight of his career, that he has something to give. He himself said last night that it was the feeling and the confidence along with the style After the third cycle, it is impossible to determine where Beitar Jerusalem's season will go.

A loss in the derby and the victory over Nes Ziona will soon be forgotten, but regardless of the upcoming game, if Asperia continues in this capacity, we may discover that he was one of the most profitable signings this season in the Premier League.

Not only to help Beitar. Barak Itzhaki (Photo: Danny Maron)

Among the many criticisms against Barak Itzhaki, the claim was also made that he wants to help Beitar Jerusalem. In the summer, Ronan Hantzis, Eduardo Guerrero and Bar Cohen arrived from the club, now Dor Turgeman is also a candidate to come. From the side it seems that Maccabi Tel Aviv wants to turn Beitar Lamini has a subsidiary team within the Premier League.

indeed?

First, Beitar's angle. In the long term, it cannot exist on loans, but we are not in the long term. The traumatic summer forced Barak Abramov's team to enter survival mode. The classic model of survival in the Premier League is to behave like a small team, i.e. ask Players. In Hapoel Jerusalem, most of the loanees arrived only in January and the team managed to survive. Beitar didn't have many other options from the start.

Now, the question arises regarding the usefulness of Maccabi Tel Aviv.

It is not a "desire to help", or at least not the pure intention.

As far as Maccabi Tel Aviv is concerned, Beitar is a serious test ground. Bar Cohen was loaned to the Galilee last year and showed flashes of being a good player, but was not exposed to the spotlight. His two assists yesterday create the vibe of a top player, and down the road his ability to withstand pressure will be tested, as well as Chanzis, who was marked as a great talent along with Oskar Gloch, and Gerro, around him the question marks never stop hovering.

In the chaos of Beitar you can fall or stand up.

Maccabi Tel Aviv will be happy to find out what material its players are made of, and as long as it doesn't happen at home - that's fine.

The last one who can say that the whole world is against him.

Many coaches inscribed the mantra "the whole world against us" on their banner because they believed that this was the path that would lead them to success.

The best of them - Pat Riley in basketball, Bill Belichick in football and Alex Ferguson in football - turned their teams into dynasties.

Others were less successful and were left with the whiner label.

It's a dangerous approach, especially when you don't win, and Eliniv Barda needs to realize that right now.

Breda, it should be mentioned, was throughout most of his career one of the media's favorites.

To his credit, he earned it honestly.

He was a supreme and persistent player, a real Cinderella story - a local hero who had trouble flourishing at Maccabi Haifa, jumped at Hapoel Tel Aviv and went to Belgium, where he raised one of the biggest stars of world football, Kevin de Brauna.

Magank returned to Be'er Sheva and turned it into an empire.

The retirement that came after his life was saved established the aura around him.

Winning the cup has already established him as the future coach of the club.

Of all the people in the world, or at least in Be'er Sheva, Barda is the last one who can say that the whole world is against him, that they are looking for him, that they marked his team.

As a player he had heaps of success (even then he whined quite a bit, but always knew how to balance with class), but in the last two games everything fell apart.

He broke the steering wheel sharply and began to gallop towards the judges and journalists.

"Everyone is waiting for our fall," he claimed.

really?

The "us against the world" method can work in a winning team that also plays football.

At the moment Beer Sheva is not winning and they are not playing football either.

Just before the business gets out of control, it seems that the coach needs to recalculate this route, especially when difficult challenges await him on this route such as Austria Vienna and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
