The Maccabi Netanya Post

Maccabi Netanya finish in position 10
30 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.

El Yam Kancepolsky: 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.

A falling-out at Maccabi Netanya
Aziz Ouattara and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Maccabi Netanya get the job done against Hapoel Kfar Saba
A 1‑0 win over Hapoel Kfar Saba, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
Loan watch22 Feb 2027

13 clean sheets from 20 appearances at Bnei Yehuda. That is the whole of a goalkeeper’s job done properly, and it is being done a long way from the club that owns him.

A row about effort at Maccabi Netanya
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Saba Khvadagiani was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Player ratings22 Feb 2027
Ninety minutes of Maxim Plakushchenko at his very best
Marked 8.03. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Maccabi Netanya.

Liran Sardal gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Eli Abada signs on for more
