Squad

A fracture rules Daniel out for 62 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Hapoel Kiryat Shmona will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona make their move for Zalli Abdullahi

$410.0K on the table at Maccabi Haifa. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Aviv Avraham 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 Hapoel Kiryat Shmona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Henzo is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

Ovadia Darwish signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ovadia Darwish and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona agree another 2 years.

Market

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona buy the years ahead of Matan Solomon

He is 18, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Market

No place for Reem Tourgeman in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Reem Tourgeman has his answer from Hapoel Kiryat Shmona; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

No hiding place for Reem Tourgeman

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Reem Tourgeman, and the manager let it.

The dugout

When it matters, Daniel plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

Avi Weissman: 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 Kiryat Shmona have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad

Dan Glazer 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 Hapoel Kiryat Shmona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Safrudin Tahar 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 dugout

Daniel gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Daniel is on it.

Market

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona and Lior Shugar are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad

“I want to play”: Avi Weissman speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.
