Tiktukno: summary of today's events in sports, 6.11 (Sport1)
Not a crisis, nor anything close to it.
Maccabi Tel Aviv did not beat the nine Nes Ziona players yesterday (Saturday) because they played incorrectly, and in the absence of Vladan Ivić who was sitting in one of the cells in Bloomfield due to suspension, the instructions that were thrown to the grass were probably in a tone that was less encouraging.
A team that wants to beat a team that, starting from the 80th minute, also crowded in the area - naturally - needs to kick from a distance or produce individual performances.
A kick from distance can produce an offensive rebound and a personal operation can produce fouls and free situations.
The greater the range of threats to the goal, the greater the chance of scoring a goal against crowding.
Maccabi, by nature, with the orderly movement of the ball through the wings, does not generate these threats.
Eran Zahavi, who until Maccabi Tel Aviv used to kick lethal balls from outside the box, does not even create such situations for himself, such as the goal that defeated Maccabi Netanya, and Gabi Kanikovski, who has a very low scoring percentage, kicks from a distance instead of using his agility to create personal situations.
Maccabi Tel Aviv should not look at Maccabi Haifa in the table, but look at the football it itself plays.
During the game it has very few players with exceptional abilities, and too many "carpenters" in football terms and against defensive teams, it is not helpful.
The argument - against which Zahavi rightly rebelled - that in the past it was more effective, is silly.
Maccabi Tel Aviv should not play with two central strikers.
Either Jovanovic or Zahavi.
They look at Zahavi because of his scoring percentage, but Ljuvanovic has the same scoring percentage in Israel, and yesterday he had bigger misses, including one from a situation that Zahavi arranged for him.
Jovanovic doesn't do anything for Zahavi, because by nature he is a goal striker and Zahavi is not, but when they play together, they sometimes hinder each other, instead of complementing each other.
Either one of them will change function, or Maccabi will play with only one of them, with Gloch and Kanikowski together, and later also with Yonatan Cohen.
Despite the amount of goals so far and despite the offensive arsenal, it seems that Ivic is misusing his firepower.
Not getting help from Jovanovic.

On the sidelines of this game, those who bet games of big teams at 15:00 from autumn to spring must be complimented.
This is a classic time for football, where all the games were played in the past.
This is the best time for children and the marketing of football to a new audience.
Games at night, certainly in the middle of the week, and certainly on cold days, decrease the number of spectators and not increase them, and forgive me the Shabbat keepers, most of whom do not come to football anyway, but a minority.
The justified argument that the games should be spread out so that everyone gets the proper television focus, does not stand the test of reality when two games start at 6:00 p.m., and another one at 5:30 p.m.
If three games can start at the same time, then it is possible to slot three games at the same time at 15:00.
This is the most loved hour in football, not only Israeli football.
More in Walla!

We touched on Maccabi Netanya enough here.
The professional failure of Almog Cohen in selecting the players and of Bnei Lam in managing the staff and in providing football that will solve problems in the staff, is obvious to the eye.
9 points from 33 is 27 percent, and these are percentages of relegation.
What stands to their credit right now is the fact that they are past players and symbols, but the credit is getting shorter.
But let's talk about Hapoel Hadera.
For 5 years, Hadera has been the first candidate for relegation.
Low budget, mostly loaned players or bench players from other teams.
It is Tilo that turns out to be successful, but not because of the level of the players, or the brilliance with the appointment of a coach (and Assaf Nemani is a coach with a school of thought, but not one who has always been successful).
Hadera's success stems precisely from the access to it before the start of each season.
They underestimate her, they don't count her, they don't try to decipher her DNA, and they pay dearly for it.
Hadera is a group that punishes heavily for being transparent in the eyes of slightly larger groups.
It is not clear what the life expectancy of such a phenomenon is, but as long as this attitude of the league continues, the phenomenon will continue.
Here, take Hapoel Jerusalem for example.
Until the sixth round, with a similar attitude towards her - zero losses.
From the seventh round: two wins and three losses.
study them.
The threats permeate.

Kiryat Shmona rose above the red line yesterday thanks to a better goal difference than Netanya and Nes Ziona, but mainly thanks to an equalizer by Roy Harel, in seven minutes of his senior debut (did not break the Israeli record of Liran Rothman at Maccabi Petah Tikva).
Apparently, here is the fulfillment of one of Izzy Sharetzki's dreams: a player who rises from the youth and succeeds in the seniors.
In the world view of Sharetzky, the chairman of the youth department at Maccabi Tel Aviv 30 years ago and the father of the former youth team captain, Nir Sharetzky, the youth is the most important resource. Surprisingly, and unlike the heads of Maccabi Petah Tikva and MS Ashdod, Sharetzky is a philanthropist at such a level , that selling stars is not his main goal. The championship in 2012 is the winning proof that he aspired and strives for more. Maybe that's why the annual event comes every season where Shretsky threatens to leave at the end of the season. Shretsky is not young, and relying on him as a philanthropist creates a situation where his community - Never reward him - just be indifferent to him. He threatens - they think to themselves - and in the end he stays.
5 years from the moment Izzy Sharetzki really leaves from Kiryat Shmona, it will return to being a third or fourth league team like most of the teams in its area.
What will keep her a little in the air will be her youth department which will eventually spread everywhere.
The community response may be a shrug.
Kiryat Shmona is not a city of football and the area is an area of domestic tourism, but this good spoon cries out to the sky.
But Schertzky needs to remember that threats of abandonment eventually permeate not only the livelihoods of the environment but the club itself.
The feeling of being dependent on containment alongside the "hold me", dulls the commitment to the club.
It is forbidden for the owner or the holder of management rights or the main sponsor, to wave threats of leaving in the middle of a season.
Only during recess, only when you can change.
There is no reason to reduce the league.

The chairman of the league's management, Erez Kalfon, did a round of interviews this weekend in which he again dropped the idea of reducing the league to 12 teams. This is no coincidence, the elections for the chairman of the football association are coming up.
The manager is the economic company of the football association, whose owners are the teams.
For some reason, the feeling is that the two institutions are one package.
Instead of the football association representing the small teams, and letting the director work for the big ones, it mainly represents the big teams that are both sitting in the association's management and in the director's institutions.
It's absurd and it gives the feeling that whatever the majors decide - that's what will happen in the end.
The reason for the desire to reduce the league - despite the 14-team format and the playoffs that has been running here continuously since the 2012/13 season and also provides work - is the desire to divide the allowance cake from the franchisees and the lottery, at least teams to increase their share.
Let's clarify this: while the role of the director as an economic company is to generate income, it increases it at the expense of the groups and not through finding other income streams.
Perhaps Erez Kalfon should consult with the CEO of Hapoel Jerusalem, Uri Sharetzki, on how to generate income from social activities. He has a lot to learn.
There is no reason to make the league smaller. Big teams play against each other even today 4 times a year, not including the Toto Cup or the State Cup, young players get a bigger stage when 154 players play on the field instead of 132, and the successes in Europe, like the growth in the number of spectators, are a product of an increase in the number of big teams - also thanks to the modern stadiums.
Even if there are 12 teams in the league, the number of teams in Israel that can sell over 2,000 subscriptions is no more than 8, and two of them play in the national league.
Reducing the league will not improve at all - if not harm - the level of football, or increase the number of spectators, it will only further prevent owners from putting their hands in their pockets and behaving like owners.
It would be good for Oren Hasson and Shino Zoertz - the candidates for the position of chairman of the association - if they represented the interests of football and not the interests of the owners.
