The Hapoel Kfar Saba Post

16 Apr 2035
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

The knee: Ben Adadi out for 34 days

34 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Hapoel Kfar Saba lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

The terraces

The mood at Hapoel Kfar Saba has turned into something else

Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.

Squad

Hapoel Kfar Saba count the cost of losing Gil Cohen

52 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Market

Still no ink between Hapoel Kfar Saba and Omer Shirazi

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Hapoel Kfar Saba, another week without a signature from Omer Shirazi.

The dugout

Omer Shirazi 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 Omer Shirazi trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Guy Benayoun wants out of the dugout

“I did not sign to watch. Nobody does.” The oldest complaint in the game, and Hapoel Kfar Saba will have to answer it with minutes or with a move.

Market

Chico runs his contract down

5 months remain and no agreement is close. Every week without a signature costs Hapoel Kfar Saba money.

The dugout

The manager makes Guy Benayoun a promise

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

Boardroom

The Hapoel Kfar Saba academy earns its keep

89 graduates, from a department now rated 9 out of 20. Nothing about the academy appears in a result, and nothing about the club’s future exists without it.

In brief
