Remnants of life: the dilemma surrounding the possible return of Michael Ohana to Beitar - Walla! Sport

Michael Ohana turned down Beitar Jerusalem's offer in the summer and signed with Maccabi Netanya. After the match was unsuccessful and the parties broke off contact, the midfielder wants to return to play in January under Aboxis. Full story


Summary: Hapoel Afula - Hapoel Tel Aviv 0:1 (Sport1)

Michael Ohana had a good last third of the last season at Beitar Jerusalem under Yossi Abouxis. Perhaps the only third of the season in which he contributed anything to Beitar in the three years of his expensive contract (in addition to the purchase from Be'er Sheva in the amount of NIS 8 million), when along Most of the time he was injured, physically or mentally, and had difficulty training regularly or being a regular part of the squad.



Last summer, Beitar offered Ohana a salary of about 120 thousand net dollars, Ohana rejected the offer.

This was even before Barak Abramov bought the team and Yossi Aboksis gathered players at a soldier's salary plus, but the coach pressed on the matter and the midfielder was presented with a worthy offer for another season in yellow and black, which he preferred to reject in the hope of finding a better contract or an attractive team where he could advance professionally and financially better.



It was legitimate on Michael Ohana's part to reject Beitar's offer, especially in light of the situation it was in, but time ran and the offers did not arrive. In the end, a situation arose in which Maccabi Netanya thought it could use his ranks and find a place for him in the puzzle, it did not take long for the parties to realize that It didn't work out and they decided to break up, or as they said in Netanya: "After a few weeks it was clear that it was an unsuccessful match".

It is not clear who in Netanya was responsible for his signing, but very quickly Benny Lam knew how to tell whoever wanted to hear that in a team that strives to apply his pressure method, he cannot start with Michael Ohana in the lineup.

And it doesn't end here, they quickly realized in Netanya that Ohana is a player who doesn't fit in with the team and he knows one way to express himself and that is to receive a ball at his foot and start dribbling towards the goal.



It is important to say - when Ohana is healthy and in good shape and when he has the ball he is one of the best dribblers in Israel.

He can pass players and create situations at a level that not many players do here.

At the same time, so far this is not expressed in numbers, even Bar Cohen from the bench in Beitar has in a few months more assists than Ohana had, not to mention the goal curve that did not rise in the capital or in Eyal Segal's club.

More in Walla!

This is the most dangerous thing for our dogs.

So why don't we know enough about it?

Maybe Aboxis will produce more of it?

Michael Ohana will no longer change.

He is an oddball and a player who is not ready at this stage to adapt but offers his talent and the work on the field in his own way.

Yossi Abuxis enjoyed it last year and still wouldn't be opposed to seeing him back at home and garden, he has no hopes of changing the relationship, he simply believes that in his own way he will know how to benefit from him, but Beitar has priorities for acquisitions. It needs a goalkeeper, maybe it will need a stopper, A back midfielder is also on the agenda, another winger instead of Guerrero who is on the way out, there are three games until the window opens and only then Yossi Abouxis will reassess the situation regarding the acquisition players he needs.



In any case, even if it is decided to go for him, Beitar will not pay Ohana the salary he has in Netanya. There was contact between Ohana and Kafir Adri two weeks ago, but since then Beitar made a decision not to decide at this stage.

If Ohana wants to play for Beitar, he will have to understand that in exchange for this stage until the end of the season, he will have to compromise and also allow Beitar an option for next season at a reasonable price, otherwise the team will give up his services.

where does it go

When the moment comes we will know.

What's more, if it's not Beitar, Ohana will start dropping to smaller and less significant teams and may officially seal his departure from the main stage of Israeli football.
