Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Beer Sheva 0:1/Sport1
If it wasn't enough that Hapoel Beer Sheva lost to Maccabi Tel Aviv 1:0 this evening (Saturday) and fell away from the top, in addition the team's fans had to hear the team's striker Rotem Hatuel complimenting the great rival Eran Zahavi, revealing that he is a "fan" of his.
As you know, Zahavi was a significant part of Maccabi Tel Aviv and its symbol during the days of Beer Sheva's rivalry with the Yellows in the previous decade, and for many of the team's fans from the capital of the Negev, this is simply jarring.

When Hatuel was asked about the drought of Eran Zahavi, who also missed a penalty tonight, the Beer Sheva striker replied: "Eran Zahavi is the greatest striker that was here, we learn from him every day. Personally, I am his fan and I am sure that he will come out of this like a great one."
The reactions were upset.
"Free advice to Hapoel Be'er Sheva: don't send Hatuel for an interview after the game. And don't send him to the game either," tweeted journalist Shaul Ader.
