I'm not sure that Beitar Jerusalem remembers that there has been a war between Russia and Ukraine for a long time. Beitar is probably concentrating on "Sha'ar Hashabat", and they forgot to turn on the news broadcasts to see that in this war innocent Ukrainian citizens, who just want to live in peace, are also being bombed.
If the leaders of Beitar were aware of the intensity of the terrible war, it seems to me that they would not have tried to sign a Ukrainian goalkeeper and at the same time a Russian stopper. I don't know if they informed the Ukrainian goalkeeper Artur Rudko that Sergiy Borodin will play in the center of his defense, and in any case as long as this cruel war continues , the question arises as to how these two friends will meet and work together in the morning, in training, when in the background there is more and more news about Russian attacks on Ukrainian population centers.
Even if the two new Beitar players are of high quality, this is a strange decision, which puts Rodko and Borodin in an unpleasant situation. Apart from the professional interests of Beitar and the fact that the team really needs players in these positions, it seems to me that it would have been better to avoid the situation.
Even if both actors are peace-seekers and people-lovers, any reaction of sympathy towards the other could be interpreted in their homeland, as something that goes beyond the required patriotism.
It is true that sports can bring people together, but is this possible when the guns are still roaring?

Cranka, Zahavi and everything in between
I assume that Aitor Karanka arrived at Maccabi Tel Aviv with a solid professional agenda. At the moment, he is in no hurry to make changes to the game method of his new team, and as of the game on Monday this week against Beitar Jerusalem in Teddy, he continues the rotation of the previous coach Vladimir Ivitch.
It makes a lot of sense considering the fact that the team is doing well and playing good football.
Down the road we will be able to know if Karanka, like Barak Bacher in Maccabi Haifa, changes formations according to the need and the opponent or prefers to stick to one tactical formation, and in any case it is appropriate and correct that such a process be done through study and in a gradual manner.
It seems that Kranka is very knowledgeable about professional matters and prepared himself for the job by following the team during Ivic's time.
He welcomed the young star Oskar Gluch, greatly appreciates his abilities and understands that his combination with Eran Zahavi and Djorja Jovanovic is the basis that will lead the club to the realization of its goals.

At the same time, in the interview after the match at Teddy, Karanka knew how to recommend Gloch to learn from Xavi and continue to progress together with the maestro.
His reaction indicates that beyond the appreciation he has for Zahavi, Karanka understands that the stability of the dressing room in Kiryat Shalom begins and ends with his captain.
Zoertz, prove yourself
The new chairman of the football association, Shino Zoertz, started work in March. He presented many good ideas during his election campaign, some of which had already been promised in the past but were not realized in practice. It is doubtful that Shino will be able to fulfill all the promises and make a significant change in football Ours - the burden of proof is on him.
After the chairman-elect finished being interviewed by the media, he left to relieve the association's CEO Yossi Sharabi and legal advisor Amit Pines from their positions.

This reminds me of a story from the kibbutz where I live, when one evening a neighbor came in to sign a request for the replacement of one of the kibbutz managers.
He could not answer if the move would be successful and who would be the replacement, because at the end of the process someone could be appointed who would do more harm than good.
So who will be in Zoertz's beehive?
And will the people who will be elected be able to put aside any personal interest and work for the benefit of all soccer fans in Israel?
We will wait and see.
were we wrong
We will fix it!
