The affair in which he was involved in the summer, the sad end at Maccabi Tel Aviv, the unsuccessful migration to Cyprus, the overthrow of him and his family and the grenade-laying event. Each of the things on this list caught the focus, while professional ability was left aside. But one thing is undisputed: Omar Atzili is one of the most talented players in Israeli football in the last decade, and that led him to sign with Maccabi Haifa following the insistence of Barak Bachar.
The nobles had 1544 minutes last season in the Maccabi Tel Aviv uniform, in which he found the net eight times and added nine assists. Meaning: goal / cooking every 90 minutes. He was ranked sixth in this category in the league, and his new teammate Dolev Haziza also made 20 accurate key passes, and in second place was Charon Cherry with 24.
Noble-sherry-firecrackers were outstanding last season and are now reuniting. Barak Bachar, who really wanted the connection from Epoel Nicosia, will have to find the right method to include all three in the squad. Last season, Sherry, Haziza and Noble had 30 cooks together. So far this season Sherry and Haziza have had seven cooks in total, and Noble is expected to help them with that figure.
The fact that Noble is a player who produces goals had a lot of weight in the Haifa coach’s decision to prefer him over attacking players like Muhammad Awad, Ben Shehar and foreign options offered to the Greens, since Noble is a more diverse player. Another reason is that Bachar’s teams are pushing hard. Not just on the list of the top ten in snatching a ball in the opponent’s half, there are three green representatives.
Last season the Nobles had 21 ball saves in the opponent’s half of the field, averaging 1.23 saves per game, and 49 saves in general across the field, averaging 2.9 per game. The data shows that in addition to being a leading offensive player, he also takes part in the defensive game and the high pressure. Maccabi Haifa believes that Noble will soon adapt to the club and get used to Barak Bachar’s method of play, since he was selected with “tweezers”.
