Summary: Maccabi Haifa - Maccabi Tel Aviv 0:2/Sport1
Maccabi Tel Aviv announced the addition of Ghanaian attacking player Henry Addo only at 20:20, one hour and 20 minutes after the transfer window in Israel closed, and it turns out that there are quite a few question marks and events behind the delay.
So why did Maccabi Tel Aviv announce his signing only at 20:20?
After Maccabi Tel Aviv realized that it would take a little more time until the international release of the new acquisition arrived and his registration could be completed, it was decided to issue the official announcement to the media and fans about his signing at 20:20 - the reason for this is that the player is 20 years old and he wears shirt number 20 By the way
,
it should be noted that the Ghanaian player knows Ishmael Edu, who played for Maccabi Tel Aviv in the early 2000s, but there is no family connection between them.
Edo also knew that John Fantasil, another Ghanaian he knows from Ghana, played for Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Behind the scenes it became clear that the relationship between Edo and his Slovakian group Žilina had reached an explosion.
In the official announcement about his sale to Maccabi Tel Aviv, Zilina clarified that Edo "suffered from medical problems" and that he was sold "following the insistence of the player and his agent. We did not agree to release him, but after the pressure they exerted there was no choice."
Zilina's professional manager stated in the announcement of his departure: "It was unprofessional on the part of the player and his agent. We are always looking to take care of the players and help them progress and we did not feel that he was ready for a big transfer, because he did not play enough for us. On the other hand, we did not want to underestimate the Israeli team that the negotiation with her was direct and very professional.
The club will always be above any player and that is why we are disappointed with Henry Addo and do not sympathize with the transfer, we would not sell if we could, but leaving an unfulfilled player that you do not allow him to leave would hurt us.
That's why we agreed to sell it."
