Match

At last: Bnei Yehuda win one

14 matches without a win, and then this, against Hapoel Acre. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

Player ratings

Sagi Dror was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 34. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market

Shalev Gindi puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Bnei Yehuda, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Tempers go at Bnei Yehuda

Arad Bar 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.

The terraces

One of their own: Aleks Stojaković

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match

Stav Nachmani the difference as Bnei Yehuda beat Hapoel Acre

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Stav Nachmani. 2‑0 against Hapoel Acre, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

The dugout

Tomer Litvinov 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 ratings

Aleks Stojaković was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.10. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad

A row about effort at Bnei Yehuda

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ilay Trost was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match

The wait goes on for Bnei Yehuda

8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Player ratings

Sagi Dror runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

A late step up for Zohar Zasano

At 24 the improving is meant to be over. It is not: 3 points better than the mark taken at the start of the year, which is the sort of thing that happens to players who take the boring parts of the job seriously.

Squad

Golan Beni 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bnei Yehuda

Arad Bar 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.

Match

Sagi Dror rescues a point for Bnei Yehuda

It needed Sagi Dror to find the net to bring anything home at all: 2‑2 against Maccabi Petach Tikva, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Elad Shahaf

“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

The view from the dugout

“We did not lose. Some weeks that is all you get, and I would rather have the point than not.” Gil Peretz chose the glass-half-full version of 2‑2; the supporters left with the other one.

Looking ahead

Tomer Litvinov faces his old club

Maccabi Netanya next, and one man in the Bnei Yehuda dressing room knows their training ground better than his own. The reception will tell him what they thought of him.

Match

4 matches without a win for Bnei Yehuda

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Bnei Yehuda are no longer polite ones.

Squad

Words exchanged at Bnei Yehuda

Aleks Stojaković 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.

Match

Stav Nachmani’s goal not enough for Bnei Yehuda

Stav Nachmani scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑3 to Bnei Sakhnin, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad

A row about effort at Bnei Yehuda

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Golan Beni was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Tomer Litvinov

“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.

Match

Stav Nachmani answers Bnei Sakhnin immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Stav Nachmani had Bnei Yehuda level again within 3 minutes, and Bnei Sakhnin never got to play with a lead at all.

The dugout

Gil Peretz: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑3, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

The dugout

The form table has caught Tomer Litvinov

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Squad

Stav Nachmani finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Bnei Yehuda have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Sagi Dror

Successful dribbles: 26. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

A falling-out at Bnei Yehuda

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

Squad

Golan Beni 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.

Transfer targets

Bnei Yehuda rebuffed over Ognjen Lukić

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Javor-Matis have kept their man, and Bnei Yehuda go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

One of our own: Adi Refaelov joins the Bnei Yehuda first team

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

Squad

Aleks Stojaković wants out of the dugout

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

The dugout

Somebody else is better right now than Tomer Litvinov

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Match

Bnei Yehuda and Hapoel Raanana take a point apiece

It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

The dugout

Elad Shahaf 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.
