Squad

João Klauss takes the match ball home

4 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Match

No mercy from Hapoel Tel Aviv

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona will want this one forgotten quickly: 4‑1, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Hapoel Tel Aviv were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Match

Nobody wants to play Hapoel Tel Aviv right now

7 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hapoel Tel Aviv

João Klauss 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.

Player ratings

Stav Toriel was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad

Real improvement from Omri Levi at Hapoel Tel Aviv

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Omri Levi is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Player ratings

João Klauss in the eights

A performance of 10.00 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Tel Aviv

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

Boardroom

Wages swallow 99% of the Hapoel Tel Aviv income

Every club pays most of what it earns to its players. Paying nearly all of it is a different arrangement, and it has ended the same way every time it has been tried.

Market

$10.5M — a new record at Hapoel Tel Aviv

No footballer has ever cost this club more, and the number will be read out every time he misplaces a pass for the next two years.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv baulk at the price for Mohamed Camara

Maccabi Tel Aviv wanted more than $4.9M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

The terraces

Supporters turn on the $1.4M sale of Anas Mahamid

He is going to Hapoel Haifa, the club has $1.4M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv rebuffed over Cédric Don

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Maccabi Haifa have kept their man, and Hapoel Tel Aviv go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Anas Mahamid moves on

Hapoel Haifa pay $1.4M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

Omri Levi signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Omri Levi commits to Hapoel Tel Aviv for another 3 years.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hapoel Tel Aviv

Andrian Kraev 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 terraces

$10.5M for João Klauss, and Hapoel Tel Aviv supporters approve

Boards get told what they have done wrong for years and hear nothing on the days they get it right. This is one of those days: João Klauss from LA Galaxy for $10.5M, and a ticket office having a very good morning.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Tel Aviv

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