From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Doron Leidner keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Maccabi Tel Aviv may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Mohamed Camara in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Maccabi Tel Aviv this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Issouf Sissokho stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Issouf Sissokho and Maccabi Tel Aviv agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad

Mohamed Camara is carrying Maccabi Tel Aviv

21 goals and a season average of 7.88. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Match

Mohamed Camara leads the rout of Hapoel Acre

4‑0, and Mohamed Camara took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Maccabi Tel Aviv tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Squad

3 goals for Mohamed Camara

The match ball belongs to Mohamed Camara, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Market

Hapoel Kfar Saba come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Maccabi Tel Aviv did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Maccabi Tel Aviv

Mohamed Camara was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings

A masterclass from Kervin Andrade

Marked 9.92 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings

Nothing got past Kristijan Belić

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 19 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Squad

Dan Biton gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

The Yoav Junio conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Hapoel Raanana will make the call about Yoav Junio this week. Maccabi Tel Aviv have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Kervin Andrade is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.97 with 8 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad

Yoav Junio: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Maccabi Tel Aviv have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market

Hapoel Raanana come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Maccabi Tel Aviv did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Dor Peretz in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Maccabi Tel Aviv this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Hapoel Beer Sheva take the points off Maccabi Tel Aviv

Beaten 0‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings

Sayed Abu Farchi runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Maccabi Petach Tikva are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Maccabi Tel Aviv will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Boardroom

Doors closed at Maccabi Tel Aviv

The music was off and the showers ran late. What was said in that dressing room stays there, but Saturday will publish the minutes.

Squad

Costly mistake from Niv Eliasi

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Niv Eliasi knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.
