Market11 Sep 2028

Hapoel Beer Sheva say no — this time

The offer from Irtysh for Itay Hemi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Match9 Sep 2028

4 matches without a win for Hapoel Beer Sheva

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Hapoel Beer Sheva are no longer polite ones.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Amir Ganah signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Amir Ganah commits to Hapoel Beer Sheva for another 4 years.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Tempers go at Hapoel Beer Sheva

Eli Dasa 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.

Match9 Sep 2028

Nobody wins at Hapoel Beer Sheva

10 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Squad11 Sep 2028

Real improvement from Nir Glazer at Hapoel Beer Sheva

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

Squad11 Sep 2028

Gideon Mensah falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Player ratings11 Sep 2028

David Atanga was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.24. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings11 Sep 2028

Nobody could get near Hamode Kanaan

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match2 Sep 2028

A 2-goal lead gone for Hapoel Beer Sheva

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Hapoel Kfar Saba kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Hapoel Beer Sheva will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Player ratings4 Sep 2028

Dan Biton, 33, rolls back the years — 8.36

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.36 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad4 Sep 2028

A move Yarden Cohen would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Yarden Cohen is living that version at Hapoel Beer Sheva, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Yoan Stoyanov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yoan Stoyanov commits to Hapoel Beer Sheva for another 4 years.

Squad4 Sep 2028

Dan Biton 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 Beer Sheva this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad4 Sep 2028

A late step up for Hamode Kanaan

At 28 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Match2 Sep 2028

Eliel Peretz rescues a point for Hapoel Beer Sheva

It needed Eliel Peretz to find the net to bring anything home at all: 3‑3 against Hapoel Kfar Saba, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

Player ratings4 Sep 2028

David Atanga runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market4 Sep 2028

No place for Mitchell Duke in the plan

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

Squad21 Aug 2028

Francisco Borda damages knee ligaments — 80 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 80 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Guy Dezent is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 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.

Market21 Aug 2028

Hapoel Kfar Saba come back empty-handed

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

Squad21 Aug 2028

Ryota Noma 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.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Ryota Noma has improved at 37, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Loan watch21 Aug 2028

Eden Levy counts the days

“I watch every Maccabi Petach Tikva game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Maccabi Tel Aviv runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Match30 Oct 2027

The wait goes on for Maccabi Petach Tikva

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Tempers go at Maccabi Petach Tikva

Ryota Noma 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.

Match30 Oct 2027

Still nobody has beaten Maccabi Petach Tikva

The unbeaten run reaches 6. Some of them were wins and some were escapes, but a side that refuses to lose is a side other dressing rooms talk about.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Words at Maccabi Petach Tikva training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Mohammed Hindi 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.

Squad1 Nov 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.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Maccabi Petach Tikva lose Nir Glazer

27 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Match30 Oct 2027

Maccabi Petach Tikva share the spoils with Beitar Jerusalem

A 2‑2 draw with Beitar Jerusalem leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The terraces1 Nov 2027

The spotlight tightens on José Cortés

Every touch is being weighed now, in print and everywhere else. Some players grow into that and some are quietly ruined by it, and nobody knows which in advance.

Market1 Nov 2027

The Aviv Salem story refuses to die

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

Squad23 Aug 2027

Ikson breaks a bone — 73 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 73 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market23 Aug 2027

Maccabi Petach Tikva turn down Bnei Yehuda for Dor Hebron

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Samandar Muratboyev is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 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.

Market23 Aug 2027

Francisco Borda comes home

The shirt still fits. Francisco Borda is back at Maccabi Petach Tikva, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad23 Aug 2027

Tempers go at Maccabi Petach Tikva
