Summary of Beitar Jerusalem's victory 0:2 over Maccabi Bnei Rayna (Sport 1)
Two 0:0 results and five goals in five games blew people's fuses here.
calm down
This is not something unusual in Israeli football, on the contrary.
11 0:0 results in 19 rounds (minus two games) is even lower compared to the last decade.
In 2014, 2016, 2017 and 2019, there were 16 0:0 draws in the first 19 rounds, we are on a downward trend in the last three years, a significant downward trend.
Also 40 draws in 19 rounds, about 30 percent of the games, this may be an increase from the last seasons, but there were seasons (2016/17 and 2018/19) where there were more draws.
Well, you must say, these are championship seasons for Hapoel Beer Sheva.
The big ones were out of the game.
Nonsense, there is no legality to it.
case.
We contract a standard season in European terms.
Three teams above the league, certainly starting to rise a bit and a bottom that is starting to shine.
The problem is mental: the public is not ready for it.
Teams like Hapoel Petah Tikva and Bnei Yehuda with a wide fan base are floundering in the national league, Hapoel Haifa won a championship here 24 years ago, Maccabi Netanya won a first title last week after 40 years, but until then dismantled everything that moved.
There are too many empires here that have risen and fallen, that we simply want an equal, kicking, quality league, and as usual fantasize about something impossible.
We are in 2023, not 1983.
A warning sign for those who want to reduce the league (Photo: Kobi Eliyahu)
The story of this league is actually training.
The first six in the table are teams that have not changed coaches.
Yes, that's not a mistake.
Maccabi Tel Aviv did change, but not on its own initiative and the coach did not resign because of poor achievements, he went for big money.
This is an exception that does not prove the rule.
Among the last 8, only Hapoel Hadera did not change a coach, and even that with a very limited guarantee.
Over time, and Ziv Aryeh in Hapoel Katamon or Ran Ben Shimon in MS Ashdod, are the clear proofs of this: a team will manage to score points, play attractive football and bring in an audience, only if it does not go into a cycle of changing coaches.
Not every team should behave like Arsenal with Arsene Wenger or Okzar with Guy Roux, who held the position for 20 years, but a proper coach can be given the reins to lead a club, and not control the club through the coach.
Contrary to popular belief, there are very reasonable coaches in Israeli football, but patience towards them is zero.
Silence in this section will allow the coaches to play as they understand, and not as the hourglass tells them.
Yesterday's dismal results - which, as mentioned, do not sharpen any phenomenon - are a warning signal to those who want to reduce the league.
The smaller the league, the greater the risk of relegation to large and attractive teams, and football will be more heavenly.
This is not a season to rely on in the framework of the self-interested calculations, just as the 85/6 season - in which the 4 majors finished in the first four places and all ran for the championship (which was decided in the 86th minute of the last game) - should not have caused the soccer captains to run for a playoff system that pretty much neutralized the emotion from my struggles The decision made them divide and conquer.
And among this fatness, Beitar Jerusalem stands out in recent weeks, which yesterday, against an inferior opponent, closed the matter very quickly, thanks to two precise elevations. The ability of Yossi Abuxis to be versatile in the style of play is very important when you come to a club like Beitar Jerusalem, which is currently at a distance of 4 points or four cup games from Europe, after half a year ago it was much less far from trips to Hora, Arara and Ruham, as part of League C, South District.
On the fringes of Beitar's renaissance, we must emphasize: even though it is placed sixth, light years away from the top, Beitar produces team goals like the top team.
To date, Beitar has scored 24 conceding goals, like Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Be'er Sheva, with only Maccabi Tel Aviv scoring 29 conceding goals, more than any team in the league. The difference is that the other three teams have scored many more goals than Betar Jerusalem, so it turns out that 77 A percentage of the goals scored by Beitar were as a result of a pass to the goal. This is an amazing figure, and that's all the fun.
More in Walla!

The truth is revealed

Number of assists is the same as the number of goals scored by the top scorer.

The one who obviously stands out in this regard is Jordan Shua, who has already scored 12 goals in 19 games, very close to breaking the record in a season that lasted less than a year (there was once a double season here that lasted two years), very close to breaking the record that stands at 17 goals (Gili Vermot, 2009 season /10), when so far he has the most assists ever relative to the period, and he has the same number of assists as the number of conquests of the top scorer, which is a hallucination.
There is no doubt that Jordan Shua is one of the leading Israelis in Israeli football this season.
More than that, there is no doubt that he is one of the best players in Israel.
The chance that he will be in the team at the upcoming meeting in March tends to zero.
The reason: his interrupted military service.
In Israel there is an unwritten law (not defined in the regulations, really), the "Calderon Law" we call it, according to which a player or coach who has not completed full military service, cannot be in the national team.
They were like mini-exceptions who completed national service or works for the community.
It's a nice solution, but it's not comprehensive.
Today, when 18-year-old players embark on a career abroad, and players from the Arab sector who do not serve in the IDF - by choice of the IDF themselves - play in the national team, this directive is stupid. A football player who wanted to play football but did not receive the status of an outstanding or active athlete (as the footballers who receive such status is negligible), and decided to leave the army to fulfill himself, no different from tens of thousands of candidates for the security service who do so for various reasons, ranging from their doctrine-belief to incompatibility. This practice must stop: it is possible to decide that a player is not suitable for a social, disciplinary team , professionally, but this anachronistic instruction, at a time when the IDF is happy to get rid of surpluses, must be canceled.
Yes, even during Minister Miki Zohar's shift.
Cheers to the team, and one hour earlier.
City of football.
MS Ashdod fans (photo: Danny Maron)
Did you see the second goal yesterday by MS Ashdod?
Elton Akultsa, the one who bounced his heel over Bayer Leverkusen's brake on the way to Hapoel Beer Sheva's sensational lead in the Europa League, made a perfect deception exercise, passed to Yaakov Barihon who continued to the right and Zakaria Mogis, another charming player, poked in.
MS Ashdod is an illusory phenomenon.
A team is in fifth place, has been playing attractive football for years, brings young and talented foreigners, also sells them.
The group is managed, budgeted, and has no audience.
There is some small and insignificant growth in the stands in recent weeks, which is mainly due to what is happening in football in the city.
The other two Ashdod groups, which arose as a protest or as a return to its former glory - Eroni Ashdod and Hapoel Ashdod (those who mistakenly call them Ashdod Reds) - are shuffling their days.
The crowd comes to them less and less, and Ashdod, the fifth city in Israel, which is now building a stadium with 20,000 seats, is left with three teams, in three different leagues, with an aggregate crowd of less than 1,500 people at a home game.
Something needs to change in this city.
To say a union of forces would be funny, because that's exactly what old man Jackie did at the end of the previous millennium, a union that failed.
But the Ashdod audience needs to find its place already, because this is a city of football, with a lot of passion, and as mentioned, attractive football as well.
It's a shame that it will be destroyed due to power struggles, hatred, and improper distribution of resources.
The trio that makes records: watch Beitar Jerusalem hot,
who waited for the summer and who hesitated? Behind the Oskar Gloch deal
It is impossible to choose a better club to make a leap.

Oskar Gloch is on his way to Red Bull Salzburg.
This is a third tier club in Europe, with very strong connections in the other places, with a senior branch in Leipzig, a platform for bigger and better paying leagues.
The boy is 18 years old, it is impossible to choose a better club for him to make a leap.
Dunn Deal.
The thing is, this is a rescue for both him and Maccabi Tel Aviv.
We will explain: Gloch is a classic 10.
A player who receives a ball in the last third, and does as he pleases with it, passes or conquers.
You said the Israeli Messi, we are waiting a bit with this specific superlative.
Maccabi Tel Aviv also plays with one ball.
This ball ends up going to Jovanovic and Zavei.
Both scored 21 goals this season, Gloch scored only four and assisted six.
In practice, he does not lead Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Maybe it's not the right age yet, but in this middle league, a player like Oskar Gloch should have led the way.
In 1969, Ronnie Calderon, in half a season, led Hapoel Tel Aviv to the championship.
He was 17 years old.
It is good for Gloch to get reins in another place, that understands the natural process, that will make way for it.
A club does not pay 7 million euros for a player to sit on the bench or to be another player in the rotation.
He invests in it.
It is good for Maccabi Tel Aviv, because Hamudi Kanaan is exactly the player that fits this slot, because for him Red Bull Salzburg is Maccabi Tel Aviv, because the question of his place in the hierarchy will be much clearer.
Next to Golsa, Kanikowski and Ricken, below Jovanovic and Zavei.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, if you earn Gloch in the season game tomorrow, just before he leaves, you will be able to start a new path with Canaan and with as little damage as possible.
