Summary: Hapoel Tel Aviv - Maccabi Haifa 1:0 (Sport1)
Hapoel Tel Aviv came down disappointed after the loss to Maccabi Haifa 1:0, which was joined by criticisms of the over-defensive form of the game and the cancellation against the champion for most of the minutes of the game, or as a club official concluded: "If we were to score a point or more in the game then Sylves would be great, as soon as we lost then Yes, the criticisms are justified."
And in fact there is no contradiction between the two things.
Before Silves' time, Hapoel Tel Aviv went to Sami Ofer in the previous round and was behind 3:0 in the 18th minute.
She also tried to play in Beer Sheva and suffered the biggest defeat in her history (6:0).
In the era of Sylves, the Reds play like a bottom team that understands its place and wants to stay in the league, and you can understand it, but on the other hand, it is impossible not to justify the criticism because it is hard football to watch, especially at home with the supporting crowd.

Silves debated whether to start with Hisham Laios, but the medical team also recommended that he not play more than half as part of his recovery from the injury that sidelined him for two and a half months.
Case had a bad game, he didn't help the Reds almost get out of the pressure, he lost most of the struggles to keep the ball and therefore the passing game was also very bad for most of the minutes of the game, except for a few moves in the second half when Alexander Boljevic got into things well while Hisham Laios less so.
In the week after the big victory in Teddy, with all the enthusiasm and anticipation, about 12 thousand Hapoel Tel Aviv fans arrived, with nearly 3,000 tickets left for the fans at the box office.
Hapoel has a supportive and loyal audience, but it is also limited in quantity at this stage.
It is based mainly on the subscribers and less on an audience that buys tickets, which causes a larger amount of tickets to be given to the opponent's fans every time, and this is something that should continue to happen even in the era of the Americans.

The Americans are an upgrade compared to the era of the Nissanovs - managerially and economically, but still, this is not about Mitch, Yankel'a or Alona, but about a business that wants to increase revenues and the conduct will be accordingly.
Hapoel Tel Aviv paid a heavy price this year following the game without an audience against Beitar and did not give the Maccabi Tel Aviv fans the 13th goal in the derby, so it is a loss of 1.5 million NIS in games against the big leagues.
As long as these are the quantities of Hapoel Tel Aviv fans that come, the income from the away audience of the major clubs is critical to the club's budget.
By the way, professional advisor Nick Hammond is supposed to decide on the next coach only in April.
At the moment the tendency is to appoint a foreign coach and one of the candidates to coach the team is Alan Pardew.
Pardew, 61, previously coached Yossi Benyon at West Ham, and also coached West Bromwich under Hammond in 2018.
In recent years he left Britain and coached in Den Haag, CSKA Sofia and a few weeks ago he finished his work in Aris Thessaloniki.
The smell of something new and good in the air.

But despite last night's frustrating loss, Hapoel Tel Aviv can actually put a V mark on this week.
After the fire in Khodorov there was a kind of downturn in the club.
The victory over Beitar brought everyone back the smile, but the ongoing operation of the club and the traveling this week are not doing anyone any good. CEO Liran Mokhtar has temporarily changed his work phase and is all day in front of appraisers, insurances and renovations and looking for solutions.
The team travels to Ramat Gan and the Hatikva neighborhood to train, players complain about various difficulties, employees cannot work from the complex because of the soot and everyone is just waiting to return to Khodorov and normal conduct.
What's more, there is a smell in the air of something new on the way in Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Something that did not characterize the era of the Nissanovs even though they are still there until June.
And this is even before the fire in the complex, a kind of singular pride of all the employees from the CEO to the most junior employee. This is even reflected in the attempts to create a more sane atmosphere around the club in front of the media, try to show what is happening inside and give honest answers even if they are unpleasant, reduce to a minimum the internal and external poison. Not everyone understands this, but this change is perhaps Hapoel Tel Aviv's biggest chance in the coming years.
