Tell me, have you all gone crazy? Zahavi simply shouldn't be in the team - voila! sport

Even the country's president Yitzhak Herzog could not reach a compromise in the battle for the room between Yossi Banyon and Eran Zahavi.

And no, not because of Banyon's ego.

Neither is the cantor's.

Maybe not because of Zahavi's ego either.

It is hard to ignore the emotions and mutual loathing that have developed in recent weeks between Banyon and Zavebi and vice versa.

Those who carefully read the message published by the player, noticed that the national team's all-time goalscorer did not indicate that he was done with it.

Even in the announcement issued by Banyon and Hazan, they did not write (not even hint) that Havee had finished his career in the national team, but that's it.

It's over.

The golden era in the national team is over.

you know what?

Even if Zahavi is nervous, he will go crazy and announce tomorrow morning that he is ready to sleep with three players in the room, he will not be in the team of Banyon and Hazan.

Why?

Because the "two rags" running the team will not be rags.

Zahavi's message was short, gentle and to the point.

He did not clash with the team's professional manager, nor the coach.

It seems that he put a lot of thought into the wording of the message, perhaps out of a desire to leave a small window of opportunity to return during the upcoming campaign.

What actually eliminated this small chance for him (if there was any at all) was the post written by his brother Avi: "There are two rags (Benyon and Hasan) who manage the team who are motivated purely by ego."

Bennion and Cantor, as well as senior members of the association, probably expected the player to publish a message that he renounced the words.

Zahavi did not waver and the meaning is clear.

Ronen Katsav, Zahavi's agent, had a delusional statement.

"Eran agreed to compromise terms for him, but the other side stipulated something and did not agree to accept another condition."

Rather from a senior player agent, one who has traveled around Europe and knows many clubs closely, I expected a more serious statement.

The messenger with the prize is on the golden way.

What a beauty, he agreed to compromise conditions, but Banyon did not agree to the conditions set by the star.

How lucky that Katsav didn't drag Benyon to the labor court.

Really lucky.

Let Katsav rest his mind, and Vazhavi can confirm this for him - the conditions that the national team players receive in the hotels are at the highest level available.

Tell me, master butcher, are you serious?

Did you really mean what you wrote?

And do you really believe that?

"The other side stipulated something and did not agree to accept another condition."

What an unfortunate statement.

Let's sort it out for you - a professional coach or manager is under no circumstances allowed to change because of a player's condition.

Not even the team's all-time top scorer.

You, Mr. Katsav, were an agent of Banyon for years.

Not many people know Benyon like you do.

And did you really believe he would change the decision made about the room?

Did you believe you could convince him?

From the first moment it was clear (to those who know Benyon Vahzan) that there was no way to compromise.

is nothing.

This crisis would have ended only if Zahavi had respected the decision made by the two.

All the secret meetings, all the phone calls you had, everything was unnecessary.

In all the discussions and publications surrounding the fight for the room, everyone used one word - ego.

Not of Zahavi, God forbid, of Benion.

An army of journalists, commentators, broadcasters, and public opinion shapers (in their own eyes), tried to sell the public every day that the whole story revolves around Banyon's inflated ego.

There were those who stated that Benyon did not want Zahavi at all from the first moment.

It seems that the army mobilized for the actor did not really search for the truth.

They didn't even have a professional and factual discussion.

Everyone was satisfied with Zahavi's statement that he is a professional and he must sleep alone so that his preparation for the games will be perfect.

The goal was construction.

Alon Hazan is seen as a nice, kind, gentle person, one who seeks compromises and not wars.

The "problematic" in this whole story is actually the construction.

He creates fire, Maccabi Haifa fans really dislike him, as do many Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.

There are quite a few in the media who like to celebrate him, and it is easiest to drop the bag on him.

The fire against him can be lit easily, you don't even have to make an effort.

Does anyone even know that the whole chamber festival started from a meeting between Alon Hazan and Eran Zahavi?

of course not.

Does anyone know that Hazan summoned Zahavi to a meeting in Shafiim and gave him the respect he deserves with a comprehensive overview of his and Benion's plans, their expectations of him and the desire to see him lead the team in the upcoming campaign as well?

of course not.

There was a long conversation between the coach and the star, a conversation during which Zahavi surprised Hazan when he told him to his face that if he didn't get a room by himself he wouldn't make the team.

And it seems normal to everyone.

Does anyone really think that a player can give a team coach an ultimatum (and in the first meeting between them) and the coach will fold?

Actually yes.

All the mediators believed that it was possible to fold Benyon, who immediately adopted the decision made by Cantor.

For many weeks everyone deals with Benyon's ego.

No one hesitated to ask whether Zahavi's insistence stemmed from his own ego.

He should not be in the team.

It doesn't mean that Bennion doesn't have an ego, he does, but what can we do that the decision about a room for two was made by a cantor and not him?

You can criticize the decision, you can underestimate it, but you can't be above the coach, even if your name is Zahavi, and even if you are the team's all-time top scorer.

All the statements about Benyon simply not wanting Zahavi in ​​the national team are out of the question.

Banyon and Hazan are under fire for not paying respect to the great star.

They claimed all the time that they did not respect him.

And what about respect that the player should give to the professional team?

They say that Zahabi is a professional (there is no doubt about that), that he is a real winner, and in the same breath they claim that Banyon and Hazan had to come to meet him.

Wait, what would have happened if Hazani had decided that Zahabi was not in the lineup, or had simply decided to take him out at halftime?

Beavers Natcho is a professional who has contributed quite a bit to the team.

Natcho, a player with tremendous rights and qualities, with a rich career in Europe, lost his place in the lineup with Cantor and he behaves amazingly, like a true professional.

Should Hazan and Benion make professional decisions according to the respect that players should receive?

Certain factors are sure to be.

Do you believe that Zahabi the "professional manager" will submit to the dictates of one of his stars at Maccabi Tel Aviv? (Photo: Danny Maron)

And maybe, maybe, Zahavi barricaded himself in the room out of fear that he doesn't have a safe place in the team, that he is no longer the kind of owner of the team as in the Rotensteiner era?

Are there today big and young stars like Solomon, Gloch, Abda and others?

Could it be that Zahabi preferred not to be a player who comes off the bench, did not want to receive defensive assignments, did not want to hear criticism from the professional team for not doing enough defense?

Zahavi is no longer a child.

He aims to obtain degrees before retirement.

The games in the national team require a tremendous effort and the chance of getting injured is high.

It may be that this is also part of his considerations, along with his ego, which may even be the one that prevented him from compromising and the passion that decreased (all guesses).

Only none of this came up in the discussions, only the ego of the other side.

It's possible that the fact that the chairman of the association came to his house made him realize that he would fold Banyon. It's a shame. It's a shame that Zwartz went home to him, it's a shame that Zahabi went with his head against the wall. With all due respect to Zahabi (and there is respect), our team has already failed with bigger stars than him , with stars like him and with him. This time, it seems, there is a good chance to advance to a major tournament. It's a shame that he will watch it from home, especially for himself.

In a year, maybe two years, Zahavi may get a position at Maccabi Tel Aviv, let's say a professional manager. Do you believe that the manager Will the professional Zahavi set a policy and submit to the dictates of one of his stars in the team? Forget it. Then no one will mention the word ego. Everyone will talk about the principle, convince the fan base that there is no player above the club (words that Goldhar used when he fired Nemani). Will we see in such a situation Do you want Goldhar to get on his private jet in Canada and fly fast to Zahavi home to convince him to compromise? He won't even call him.

Hazan and Benyon fulfilled a dream when they were appointed to the position.

They both decided that they would resign if Shino Zoertz made a decision to give Zahavi a room by himself.

And no, it wouldn't happen because of ego.
