From our football correspondent Steady

The dugout

Roy Levy keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Hapoel Beer Sheva may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Squad

Miguel Vítor 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Adrián Ugarriza

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Adrián Ugarriza, and the manager let it.

Market

The Lucas Ventura story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Lucas Ventura signs something — a contract at Hapoel Beer Sheva or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Looking ahead

Igor Zlatanović goes back to face Maccabi Netanya

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

The dugout

When it matters, Yonas Malede plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Loan watch

Ofek Peretz keeps scoring at Saba

10 appearances away from home and 3 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout

Mohamad Abu Rumi knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Mohamad Abu Rumi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Looking ahead

Hapoel Beer Sheva host Maccabi Netanya

Next up at home: Maccabi Netanya, who go into it in position 7. The kind of fixture a season is quietly built on or quietly loses its shape in.

In brief
