The Maccabi Petach Tikva Chronicle

From our football correspondent Steady

Match

Nowhere to hide for Maccabi Petach Tikva

0‑3 against Bnei Yehuda, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad

Daniel-Kofi Kyereh stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Maccabi Petach Tikva agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Daniel-Kofi Kyereh 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 Petach Tikva this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Nowaf Bazia

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Words at Maccabi Petach Tikva training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Nowaf Bazia 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.

Squad

Maccabi Petach Tikva count the cost of losing Ben Vahaba

53 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Boardroom

Inquest at Maccabi Petach Tikva

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

Market

The José Cortés 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.

Player ratings

The chances came and went for Avi Hemed

10 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

The Hapoel Tel Aviv Sentinel

3 Apr 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Match

Hapoel Tel Aviv up to position 3

50 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Denny Gropper: 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.” Hapoel Tel Aviv have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Tempers go at Hapoel Tel Aviv

Youssef Maziz 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.

Squad

Words at Hapoel Tel Aviv training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Andrian Kraev 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.

Squad

Home is on Jérémy Oyono's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Hapoel Tel Aviv are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Market

A season away well spent by Daniel Dappa

20 games, 9 goals, and a squad option that has arrived without a fee attached. The interesting question at Hapoel Tel Aviv now is not whether he plays but who he displaces.

In brief
