From our football correspondent Steady

Market25 Jan 2038

Kawasaki Frontale say no — this time

The offer from Ventforet Kofu for Manor Revivo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad25 Jan 2038

Mduduzi Shabalala 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 Kawasaki Frontale this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad25 Jan 2038

Mor Buskila falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market25 Jan 2038

Ahmed Ekramy Reda attracts admirers

The name of Ahmed Ekramy Reda has come up in conversations Kawasaki Frontale were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad25 Jan 2038

Eitan Dabbur stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eitan Dabbur and Kawasaki Frontale agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad25 Jan 2038

Too much change too quickly at Kawasaki Frontale

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The terraces26 Jan 2037

Anger at Beitar Jerusalem spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Squad26 Jan 2037

Oran Shoval breaks a bone — 82 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 82 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match24 Jan 2037

Nowhere to hide for Beitar Jerusalem

0‑3 against Maccabi Petach Tikva, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Market26 Jan 2037

Only the photograph left for Or Mesika

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Or Mesika will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Beitar Jerusalem the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad26 Jan 2037

Miguel Silva says Beitar Jerusalem went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Player ratings26 Jan 2037

Nobody could get near Willy Agada

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad26 Jan 2037

Krépin Diatta 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 Beitar Jerusalem this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Freddy Vargas falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom26 Jan 2037

Beitar Jerusalem counting the cost

The accounts make uncomfortable reading. Wages first and ambition second is the order of business at Beitar Jerusalem now.

Oran Shoval breaks a bone — 89 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 89 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market19 Jan 2037

Kouamé Autonne asks to leave Beitar Jerusalem

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings19 Jan 2037

Age has not caught Krépin Diatta yet — 8.80

At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.80 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Market19 Jan 2037

Only the photograph left for Yarin Shyovitz

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Yarin Shyovitz will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Beitar Jerusalem the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad19 Jan 2037

Tempers go at Beitar Jerusalem

Krépin Diatta was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad19 Jan 2037

Words at Beitar Jerusalem training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Yarden Shua is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad19 Jan 2037

The manager makes an example of Or Mesika

“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.

Player ratings19 Jan 2037

Or Mesika keeps on missing

Shots: 14, not one of them in. A centre forward is paid for one thing, and on this evidence he has forgotten which thing it is.

Match17 Jan 2037

Honours even between Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Kfar Saba

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Anger at Beitar Jerusalem spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Match27 Dec 2036

Hapoel Beer Sheva punish Beitar Jerusalem for switching off

2 goals to the good, and then a slow surrender of everything that had been earned. Kouamé Autonne will not be the one blamed for it, but nobody at Beitar Jerusalem escapes the conversation that follows a collapse like this.

Squad29 Dec 2036

Yuta Miyahara keeps the receipts

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

Player ratings29 Dec 2036

A defender's goal wins it for Beitar Jerusalem — 7.79

1 for Kouamé Autonne, marked 7.79, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Kouamé Autonne’s goal not enough for Beitar Jerusalem

Kouamé Autonne scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Hapoel Beer Sheva, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad1 Dec 2036

Dor Benyamini keeps Beitar Jerusalem in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 15 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Eitan Dabbur has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Beitar Jerusalem they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

6 goals as Beitar Jerusalem and Bnei Sakhnin go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Beitar Jerusalem and Bnei Sakhnin, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

The scrutiny sharpens at Beitar Jerusalem

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Beitar Jerusalem is running low.

Beitar Jerusalem put Interim Coach on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

6 matches without a win for Beitar Jerusalem

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Beitar Jerusalem are no longer polite ones.

Age has not caught Tomer Yosefi yet — 8.65

At 37 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 8.65 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match1 Nov 2036

Beitar Jerusalem are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 6 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.
