If you told Beitar Jerusalem fans this summer that their team would be in fifth place this season with a good chance of entering the top playoffs, they would probably burst out laughing, but the reality always exceeds any imagination.
"If we want to be in the top playoffs, we must strengthen the defense, and bring another player or two to the squad," say Beitar, who beat Ness Ziona yesterday (Saturday), and will be in fifth place at least until tonight's match against Hadera.
The ones who, of course, once again reaped all the praise are Yoon Nicolescu, who scored a pair, and is at the top of the league's goalscoring chart, and of course Jordan Shua, who scored two goals and leads the league's leaderboard.
Shua's contract ends this summer and the Jerusalemites have the option to extend it for another season, but in the club environment it is estimated that it is possible that in light of the player's good ability he will even be offered a new contract with the team.

And what about the defense?
Josua Mahias may arrive in Israel this week after a month and a half of absence, but despite this the yellow-blacks still continue searching for a foreign brakeman to replace him, when the final decision on the matter will probably be made this week.
In addition, Beitar still want to add a foreign goalkeeper and are checking a number of candidates, as well as checking the possibility of strengthening the attack.
that his team's game was held on Saturday at noon
Oral Dagani talked about the fact that his team is in fifth place in the table and said: "I saw the table after the game, our one loss and we are back to talking about a lower playoff. We must continue the momentum, improve in what is necessary and progress from game to game. We came to the game with a strange feeling, we are not used to playing At this time, but as soon as I saw the amount of fans, I felt fun and enjoyed myself."
