In the midst of the great storm that passed Aviel Zargari In the last two windows, the fact that he is a 19-year-old boy has been somewhat forgotten. , Probably wrong.
A lot can be said about Moshe Hogg, but he knows how to market and the sums thrown into the air regarding Zargar Zamiru up to 5 million euros. Between this and reality the gap was large. Maccabi Tel Aviv was willing to pay 600,000 euros in the summer, but the owner refused and he eventually stayed at Betar Jerusalem.
The season opener did not bode well. Zargari was injured in the back, disabled for several months, and missed much of the preparation. When he returned, the ability was accordingly. Zargari did not enter the season well, and played a large part in the decline of the team. In the last game against Sakhnin it reached its peak when he was replaced in the 36th minute. Yossi Aboksis also understood that the pressure should be removed from him.
There are those in the club who are responsible for the owner’s policy, who attached a high price tag to him, made sure that his name would be in the headlines and a gambler who would lead the team at the age of 19 only. Zargari saw everything and went out of balance. He has not scored any goals or assists this season, he is only tenth on the team in successful ground fights (56), 11 in successful tackles (19) and tenth in ball saves (38). Precisely in offenses he is in third place (21).
Last season, for example, he was first in tackles (91), second in successful tackles (55) and first in ball saves in the opponent’s (22) half of the team. Offensively, there was also a setback. He led Betar with threats off the field (18) last year, while this season he is only in seventh place (6).
“Aviel is a child who needs to be wrapped up,” they say at the club. Level “.
A player on the team added: “What do you want from him? They forgot he was 19? The whole team is in a difficult situation, no one stood out, so he will take everyone on his back? Why, because they stuck a crazy price tag on him because that’s how the owner decided?” Another player details: “He is a professional at the highest levels. He works the hardest in training, is very focused and does not lower his head for a minute. It is amazing to see him despite the situation, and even though he is not a car player he is for a second, does not stop. It’s good that he works hard. “
Aboksis also tried to reassure: “There are times when it’s not going well, it happened to me too. It happens to players aged 25 or 26, so it can not happen to a 19 – year – old boy. He will return to the abilities he has and everyone wants to see. “
One thing everyone is sure of – Zargari will be back and big. But in his time. Due to stronger also mentally. “His talent is great, and he is only 19. The problem was that they loaded him with the wrong hopes and did him harm. Now he is recovering at the right pace. The back injury probably hasn’t added. But the quiet lately is doing him good,” added a source close to Zargari.
