Match

Hapoel Beer Sheva up to position 2

57 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Squad

Yonatan Abada signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Yonatan Abada commits to Hapoel Beer Sheva for another 3 years.

The dugout

Dan Biton has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Hapoel Beer Sheva will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market

Dan Biton linked with a move away

The name of Dan Biton keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Hapoel Beer Sheva say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Yonatan Abada

“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

Amir Ganah knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Hapoel Beer Sheva, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Squad

Miguel Vítor is the talk of the training ground

Sharpest man there all week, by every account. It is the quietest line on this page and it usually runs the week before somebody’s run in the side begins.

Boardroom

The Hapoel Beer Sheva board choose calm

Full confidence, expressed in the dull, deliberate language boards reserve for when they mean it. The window that follows will show whether the words came with money attached.

The dugout

The manager plants his flag on Marco Wolff

“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Marco Wolff’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.

In brief

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.

Market

One of our own: Guy Peretz joins the Hapoel Beer Sheva first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Guy Peretz is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

One of our own: Avi Cohen joins the Hapoel Beer Sheva first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Avi Cohen is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Hapoel Beer Sheva promote Tomer Refaelov from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Tomer Refaelov has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

One of our own: Amit Revivo joins the Hapoel Beer Sheva first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Amit Revivo is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The dugout

Yoan Stoyanov gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Yoan Stoyanov is on it.

Loan watch

Niv Eliasi’s loan is measured in nothing happening

6 clean sheets from 13 appearances at Levadiakos. 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.

Loan watch

The goals keep arriving from Ofek Peretz’s exile

3 goals in 18 games at Saba — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Hapoel Beer Sheva updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

The dugout

A door opens for Ofir Marciano

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.
