Hapoel Tel Aviv Reminiscent of her black days. I do not remember this team, which was once much more glorious, being eliminated this way in a football game, especially in a derby. Let’s start from the end – if you look at the statistics, you see quite a few dry negative data, such as the goal difference and the amount of threats (3:17) that were in last night’s derby (Monday). But the most significant thing in a derby game is the combat data, which is usually what characterizes the all-too-vibrant tackle.
The games between Hapoel and Maccabi in the past have always been characterized by brutality, physicality, fighting – everything. But this derby this time was one of the one-sided in history, and that’s probably not an exaggeration. Even in its relegation season Hapoel Tel Aviv did not look like that. A derby is first and foremost a soul, but the table lock provided a slump. There has never been such a loss in such gaps, both in ability and in the end result. humiliation.
In the derby the teams do everything, sometimes too aggressively, in order to be the top team in town. This time there was nothing. The group came to sign a ticket. There were hardly any offenses, maybe one or two yellows. In every regular game you see a bottom team fighting because it realizes it needs to do some 20-30 offenses in order to fight for its place in the league. Yesterday Hapoel barely recorded 10. This is not a team fighting for its life. Derby is the game of every club, but the Reds were really out of business.
This is also reflected in the method of Nir Klinger. We hardly saw his team threatening or passing the middle, but mostly fortifying and going backwards. On the other hand, until the 60th minute, Maccabi threatened a few times and barely found the frame. She then reached her average with the threats in the second half. And the verb? is nothing. Her record throughout history is much better than that. When a player wears the team shirt, he should know that it should be torn at the end. Yesterday we saw no such sign in Bloomfield from the form of play of the Reds.
Now Hapoel Tel Aviv is at a crossroads never seen before. You can be at the bottom with your team, but playing in such a way is forbidden. For me, what I saw yesterday reminded me of a game of Group of adults against group of children. In the second half, Maccabi simply humiliated them, Hapoel barely tickled. Beyond that, the Khodorov gang have lost all the last five derbies, which is a pretty horrible thing. Anyone who knows these battles from all sides knows that such things cannot exist. Before football, it was first and foremost a war.
So what’s next for this club? Objectively, the verb lacks crush on offense. You can not go with one and a half striker and try to tickle your rival, certainly not Maccabi Tel Aviv or Maccabi Haifa or someone else from the top. , And Omri Altman alone can not do everything, and he is already faltering. This is the main reason the team has won only four times this season. Strengthening in January is super important, but it should also be done wisely.
from the other side, At Maccabi Tel Aviv See that there is some improvement. In the last two games you see more order, as the coach has made the method 4-3-3 and uses his tools correctly. Van Leven’s surprise was the placement of Ben Haim, who finally showed sparks from his good times. He went through two not-so-simple years of injury, declining ability and not playing for long. He returned to Israel and is seen to have taken himself in hand. Tactically, he used his cuts, something that wingers on a team like him and like Jonathan Cohen can do to threaten. With his help, Hapoel’s defense was opened. And Cohen? He in the second half gave a show of his own, scored and cooked. He is today the star of the Yellows.
I have no doubt that with this squad the champion can return to be established at the top. Despite the constraints of the crowded schedule and the need for rotation, a team like Maccabi Tel Aviv is resistant to such a thing. It is possible that its staff is even better than Maccabi Haifa’s, it has fewer good substitutes. In Maccabi Tel Aviv you can put in the whole second team and you will not feel a decrease in intensity. This is what happened in the derby. It is also worth mentioning Avi Rikan, who was finally allowed to play.
We will move to Betar. Although the team from the capital lost only because of a goal in the 93rd minute, it is also very, very weak. This is not Betar of previous years, and it also really needs strengthening so as not to reach the situation of Hapoel Tel Aviv. The team has a very difficult problem with the link, there is no supply for the pioneers. There are certainly good strikers, players who can get into situations, but the form of the game is not good enough. The rivalry comes from the lines easily, and even with Ashdod it happened.
If we look at one specific player, then Ali Muhammad does not justify at all the money invested in him. His data is not good enough. See it for a long time, and even yesterday in the game he missed an opportunity of a safe goal. Although he also scored, but it is much more than that, also defensively. In general, the entire staff is not well organized, for the league it is not enough.
