Market

Aziz Ouattara puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Maccabi Netanya, and it is not being withdrawn.

The dugout

Grigory Morozov: 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.” Maccabi Netanya have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Match

Maccabi Netanya make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Maccabi Netanya have 4 straight wins of it.

Player ratings

Wylan Cyprien goes up and wins it — 7.93

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.93 for the rest of it.

Boardroom

A new deal for Dan Peretz

Transfer targets

Too dear: Maccabi Netanya walk away from Ahmed Salman

$310.0K was the most the club would pay and Bnei Sakhnin 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.

Boardroom

5 academy players handed senior numbers at Maccabi Netanya

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Transfer targets

River Plate tell Maccabi Netanya: Santiago Lencina 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.

Match

Maccabi Netanya find a way past Maccabi Petach Tikva

Maccabi Petach Tikva made Maccabi Netanya work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑1 at the end and the table does not ask how.

In brief
