Player ratings

Nobody could get near Rüfət Abdullazadə

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

The small margins put Hapoel Kiryat Shmona out

Out, 0‑1 to Maccabi Petach Tikva, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad

42 days out for Ariel Sheratzky after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Hapoel Kiryat Shmona will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match

No end in sight to Hapoel Kiryat Shmona's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona has to find a result from somewhere.

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

A row about effort at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

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

The dugout

Adi Shechter: “We have to be better”

“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 0‑0 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Itzik Shoolmayster

“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.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Nemanja Ljubisavljević

Nobody at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Hapoel Kiryat Shmona walk away from Hamode Kanaan

$5.7M was the most the club would pay and Hapoel Beer Sheva 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

An offer of $730.0K for Zohar Zasano

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona have gone to Maccabi Haifa with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona bid $26.0K for Michael Pistiner

The offer went to Bnei Yehuda this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Squad

A falling-out at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Aviv Avraham and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

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

Squad

Adi Levy signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Adi Levy and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona agree another 3 years.

Boardroom

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona 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

Liel Deri goes back to face Beitar Jerusalem

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Liel Deri’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Squad

A season on the outside for Hakim Karamoko

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona bid $4.7M for Hamode Kanaan

The offer went to Hapoel Beer Sheva this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Kiryat Shmona make their move for Liam Hermesh

$1.4M 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.

Transfer targets

Persik tell Hapoel Kiryat Shmona: José Enrique is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Words exchanged at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

Aviv Avraham 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.

Squad

5 new faces, and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Squad

A row about effort at Hapoel Kiryat Shmona

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