Match

Bnei Yehuda are in real trouble now

Position 12, 13 points, and a fixture list with fewer games left in it than excuses. The arithmetic is not cruel yet, but it has stopped being kind.

Squad

Tempers go at Bnei Yehuda

Roee Fucs 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 Bnei Yehuda training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Raz Nahmias 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

The manager makes an example of Raz Nahmias

“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.

Market

No place for Ohad Levita in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ohad Levita has his answer from Bnei Yehuda; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout

Tomer Litvinov is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Bnei Yehuda walk away from Giuliano Gurrieri

$29.0K was the most the club would pay and Maccabi Petach Tikva were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets

Bnei Yehuda rebuffed over Or Israelov

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

Squad

Mustapha Gbolahan 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bnei Yehuda

Elad Shahaf 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.

Transfer targets

Bnei Yehuda ask about Kaique Kenji

A loan enquiry to Cruzeiro: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Gustavo Santana is in the works

Bnei Yehuda have made the call to Sport Recife. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Nir Melikson signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nir Melikson commits to Bnei Yehuda for another 3 years.

Boardroom

Bnei Yehuda turn down the training-ground plan

It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Tomer Litvinov

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Hapoel Acre in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Boardroom

Bnei Yehuda go back to the board over Giuliano Gurrieri

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $30.0K — a club that wants Giuliano Gurrieri enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Stav Nachmani 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 Bnei Yehuda this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Bnei Yehuda make their move for Giuliano Gurrieri

$29.0K on the table at Maccabi Petach Tikva. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Bnei Yehuda rebuffed over Yonas Malede

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

Squad

A row about effort at Bnei Yehuda

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

Transfer targets

Bnei Yehuda try to borrow Shachar Rosen

Maccabi Tel Aviv have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.
