Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Hapoel Beer Sheva 0:1/Sport1
Although Maccabi Tel Aviv recovered from the crisis and achieved two impressive victories in the last week, Eran Zahavi is still having trouble finding the back of the net.
The leader's striker, who started the season in an amazing way and scored in almost every game, scored in only one other game out of his team's last 15 games (two in the derby), and has since completed six consecutive games without a goal, when yesterday he even missed a penalty against Hapoel Beer Sheva.
The team's top scorer of all time, but in disappointing form.

As I recall, there was a dramatic and significant discussion surrounding the question of calling up Eran Zahavi to the national team, against the background of the confrontation between him and coach Alon Hazan and the team's professional manager Yossi Banyon, and after an apology, against the background of the unique situation in the country and the demand for unity - the two reconciled and Zahavi returned to the national team.
Very quickly, the decision to bring him back paid off, and Zavehi scored for the team in the important match against Romania, but it was not enough and the team lost 2:1.
Along with the draw against Switzerland and the loss to Bosnia, Israel moved to the playoffs.
The question now is whether to call in a veteran and experienced striker with a proven resume like that of Eran Zahavi (who is known to be the team's top scorer of all time), or whether Alon Hazan must choose the players in the best shape, and it is not clear whether Zahavi is included among them.
what do you think?
Vote in the poll, and decide the dilemma that surely worries Hazan and Benion as well.
