Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Bnei Sakhnin 1:1/Sport1
The crisis at Maccabi Tel Aviv is getting worse and it seems that Robbie Keen and his players are unable to get out of it.
Even a relatively comfortable game in almost full Bloomfield against Bnei Sakhnin ended yesterday only in a 1:1 draw, which was achieved thanks to an equalizing goal by Younes Melda on the verge of ending the game.
Although he often talks about the problem of conceding, Keen is unable to stop the alarming phenomenon and Maccabi Tel Aviv counts six league games out of the last eight in which they conceded first and chased after the game.
Not an easy decision.
Cain/Ariel Shalom
Out of a possible 24 points in the last eight rounds, Maccabi Tel Aviv only scored 10 points.
From a situation where she had a 94 percent success rate, she dropped to 41 percent.
Much more failure than success.
"We are certainly the world champions in crashing," said a player in the team last night.
"We need to check if there was another group that crashed like that. From the top of the mountain to the abyss."
Maccabi Tel Aviv expected Kein to know how to stop the snowball, but the coach is factually unsuccessful.
Cain does not improve the utilization of stationary situations and projections, he does not solve the problem of absorptions and he does not find a cure for Eran Zahavi's drought, even though he himself was an attacking player and therefore he should know more than anyone what is going on with his striker.

Keen decided, even though he knew it would cost him criticism, to allow the players from today the vacation he had planned for them until Thursday.
It was clear to him that the timing was terrible and that the last thing the players deserve this week is time off, but he decided not to break his relationship with the players and not to punish them for another loss of two precious points yesterday.
"We need freedom and disconnection more than any training," said Maccabi Tel Aviv players.
"Everyone needs to relax and ventilate. Take a long break to clear your head and think about how we got into this situation and how you can get out of it."
It is not impossible that in view of the match against Maccabi Netanya next Monday, Maccabi Tel Aviv will undergo a shock.
If not in the coach's position, then at least in Kean's lineup, who also came up yesterday with most of his regular players and hoped to achieve more.
The trio in the middle of Joris Van Overeem, Dor Peretz and Gabi Kanikowski again started together and once again looked bad and it is clear to everyone that the credit is over.

"Everyone needs to take stock in the club and ask themselves what is the best thing to do to leave ourselves a chance for the championship," said one of the players.
"Before it's too late and Maccabi Haifa runs away, everyone should ask themselves where we go from here."
