Match28 Feb 2029

Guy Glazer sends Maccabi Netanya through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Guy Glazer obliged against Hapoel Beer Sheva. 1‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Maccabi Netanya.

Squad5 Mar 2029

A fracture rules Eitan Abada out for 20 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Maccabi Netanya will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Omer Nir'on decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Player ratings5 Mar 2029

No sign of nerves from Guy Glazer at 18 — 7.82

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Guy Glazer did not need any: 7.82, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Market5 Mar 2029

Idan Kapellner asks to leave Maccabi Netanya

“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.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Matheus Davó stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Matheus Davó and Maccabi Netanya agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Dolev Haziza 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.

The dugout5 Mar 2029

Dolev Haziza has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Maccabi Netanya 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.

The dugout5 Mar 2029

The manager makes an example of Raphael Amponsah

“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.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Eitan Abada breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market26 Feb 2029

Tomer Litvinov has one foot out of the door

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

Squad26 Feb 2029

Nadav Niddam 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.

Squad26 Feb 2029

Words exchanged at Maccabi Netanya

Li On Mizrahi and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

No hiding place for Bakary Konaté

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

The dugout26 Feb 2029

When it matters, Matheus Davó 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.

Market26 Feb 2029

Nadav Niddam linked with a move away

The name of Nadav Niddam keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Maccabi Netanya say nothing, which says plenty.

Market26 Feb 2029

No place for Ido David in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ido David has his answer from Maccabi Netanya; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

The dugout26 Feb 2029

The manager makes Maor Levi a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Maccabi Netanya. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad19 Feb 2029

The knee: Wylan Cyprien out for 18 days

18 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Maccabi Netanya lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Nobody could get near Mor Buskila

Successful dribbles: 34. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Eitan Abada breaks a bone — 34 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 34 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match19 Feb 2029

The season ends: position 8 for Maccabi Netanya

The last league game has been played and the table has stopped moving: 33 points. The summer begins on Monday, and so does the argument about what it all meant.

Squad19 Feb 2029

Matheus Davó is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.35 with 19 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Squad19 Feb 2029

A falling-out at Maccabi Netanya

Nadav Niddam and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match17 Feb 2029

Maccabi Netanya find a way past Hapoel Kfar Saba

Hapoel Kfar Saba made Maccabi Netanya work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

The dugout19 Feb 2029

Basam Za'arura 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.

Player ratings19 Feb 2029

Matheus Davó stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.98 on the card, and the Maccabi Netanya support went home talking about one name.

Squad12 Feb 2029

The knee: Wylan Cyprien out for 26 days

26 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Maccabi Netanya lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match10 Feb 2029

Maccabi Netanya tear Hapoel Raanana apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 5‑1 against Hapoel Raanana, and it could have been more.

Squad12 Feb 2029

41 days out for Eitan Abada after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Maccabi Netanya will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

A brace, and Matheus Davó takes the afternoon — 9.09

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Matheus Davó provided it, and the 9.09 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

Both of them Maor Levi's — 8.21

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.21, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Player ratings12 Feb 2029

Maxim Plakushchenko, 33, rolls back the years — 8.15

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.15 at 33, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

Maccabi Tel Aviv tell Maccabi Netanya: Elad Madmon 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.

Squad12 Feb 2029

Matheus Davó is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.34 with 18 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Transfer targets12 Feb 2029

Joaquín Freitas turns down Maccabi Netanya

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Flamengo keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
