Roy Levy: 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 Petach Tikva have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Market22 Mar 2027

Aviv Salem puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Maccabi Petach Tikva, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad22 Mar 2027

A row about effort at Maccabi Petach Tikva

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Dor Hebron was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Words exchanged at Maccabi Petach Tikva

Aolin Zhang and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Ido Cohen 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.

The José Cortés story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until José Cortés signs something — a contract at Maccabi Petach Tikva or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Words exchanged at Maccabi Petach Tikva

Idan Dahan and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Eyal Inbrum

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

Maccabi Petach Tikva keep their word to Belal Shahen

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Squad15 Mar 2027

An aura around Sagiv Jehezkel

Where he used to play does most of his talking for him at Maccabi Petach Tikva. The room defers to it, the kids study it, and the only thing that can puncture it is a bad month.

Market15 Mar 2027

The Aviv Salem talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Maccabi Petach Tikva know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout15 Mar 2027

Mohammed Hindi asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

José Cortés signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” José Cortés commits to Maccabi Petach Tikva for another 2 years.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Words at Maccabi Petach Tikva training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dor Hebron is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout8 Mar 2027

The manager makes an example of Samuel Owusu

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad8 Mar 2027

Tempers go at Maccabi Petach Tikva

Maor Kandil 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.

Squad8 Mar 2027

7 new faces, and Maccabi Petach Tikva are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market8 Mar 2027

The Bruno Duarte talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Maccabi Petach Tikva know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.
