Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Jerusalem 1:2/Sport1
On March 3, 2018, Hapoel Tel Aviv hosted Maccabi Tel Aviv for a derby as part of the youth league.
In the top row of the bleachers on the field in Wolfson were the Maccabi Tel Aviv men and among them representatives of the scouting department as well as Patrick Van Leeuwen and Ben Mansford.
In the row below them sat the Nisanov brothers, with the coach of the senior team, Kobi Yaropa, next to them.
One of the biggest stars of Hapoel Tel Aviv's boys team, Usher David, was added to coach Omer Peretz's team.
In the previous season, the talented winger scored a double in the Reds' 4:3 derby in the second boys and this season he starred in the first boys.
In the 43rd minute, Tomer Altman gave Maccabi Tel Aviv the lead, but one minute passed and Davida hit Daniel Peretz's net.
The boy who was jumped to play with older yearbooks, proved that the decision to pull him out of the first grade boys was justified.
David scored, but it is likely that if the Maccabi Tel Aviv people mentioned only one name, it would be Raz Shlomo's.

What was written in the notebooks of the people of Maccabi Tel Aviv that Saturday at noon?
We will never know, but it is likely that if the yellow-blues wrote one name of the city rival it would not be "Osher Davida" but the captain of that game: Raz Shlomo.
After all, a year or two later, the brake already started to be linked in the transition from the Khodorov complex to Kiryat Shalom.
In the end this is it, with a few more stops along the way.
Starting at the end of the week, Raz Shlomo and Osher Davida share a dressing room again.
They collaborated in the youth of Hapoel Tel Aviv and later in the seniors, they played together in a 4:0 defeat in the derby at the end of 2020, but as of Friday both are Maccabi Tel Aviv players.
The last direct transfer between Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Tel Aviv was that of Aron Schoenfeld in the transfer window of January 2017. The financially crushed Reds were desperate for money and Mitch Goldhar wrote a check and attached the American - less than six months after he bought Shagib Yehezkel from them.

A similar route from Hapoel Tel Aviv to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Zahavi and Davida/Maor Alxalsi
Shlomo and Davida joined after their train passed through intermediate stations, including a literal cooling off period in Belgium.
The defender played for Maccabi Netanya and Levan, the winger moved to Standard Liège.
They took a route similar to that of Eran Zahavi over a decade ago: from Hapoel Tel Aviv to Europe, and from there to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
In the Maccabi Tel Aviv squad today there are three players running and kicking who grew up in Hapoel Tel Aviv (David played in Maccabi for two years as a child, moved to Hapoel at the age of 14 and has played there ever since).
The joining of Shlomo "broke a tie" with Hapoel Beer Sheva and placed the youth department from the Khodorov Complex in second place among the players' producers for the yellow team.
If Shagib Yehezkel also signs with Maccabi Tel Aviv, he will be the fourth.
Among these things, it should be noted that in the last two years, Maccabi Tel Aviv knew very well how to look inward and recognize the many talents that it itself raised.
Gabi Kanikovski and Eden Kartsev who grew up in Kiryat Shalom were brought back in difficult deals, Yonatan Cohen and Dor Peretz from Italy and young people like Roy Rabivo and Dor Turgeman became key players.
