There is no shortage of moments at Hapoel Tel Aviv. Marco Jankovic was suspended today (Friday) from activity – currently until after the game against Maccabi Haifa on Monday – after he went on a rampage in training. The Montenegrin midfielder looked nervous during training, tossed balls angrily and towards the end was sent home by coach Kobe Medicine.
In recent games, Jankovic has not started in the squad, and now the team will have to decide how it treats him.
After Maccabi Tel Aviv decided not to hold the friendly match against Borussia Dortmund scheduled for May 17, yesterday (Thursday) it became clear that the German representatives first turned to the city rival, Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Already a few weeks ago, through contacts, the Germans approached the Reds chiefs in an attempt to reserve a friendly match, but due to the fact that three days later the derby would be held and due to further procedures, the Reds refused.
In recent days, after Maccabi Tel Aviv dropped the possibility of holding a game, another appeal was made to the Reds, who again responded in the negative. The goal of the club is to try to get the fourth place and make efforts to play in Europe.
About 200 fans arrived at Sharon Nisnov’s house in Savyon yesterday and made it clear that they will now increase the protest in front of the owner. In addition, this morning about 20 fans came to the Khodorov complex to protest against the management and the players for the humiliation in the derby. A security force arrived at the scene, and at night Hapoel Tel Aviv announced that one suspect had been arrested for disorderly conduct and vandalism at the Reds’ training complex, thanks to information collected by the Israeli police from the security cameras there. “The club will work hard against rioters who will endanger the safety of the team’s players and club members. We thank the police of the Jaffa station in the Yiftach area for their quick and determined action – and are confident that they will get their hands on other rioters,” Hapoel Tel Aviv said.
Meanwhile, Dutch midfielder Ricardo Kishna confirms the publication in Walla! A sport whereby he is a candidate for the team. The 27-year-old winger, who is playing this season in Dan Haach from the second division in the Netherlands, told the local media last night following the reports: “It is definitely possible that I will play for Hapoel Tel Aviv. I have already heard about their interest in me. Until the end of the season. You will hear about my future at the right time. ”
At the same time, the Netherlands claim that Hapoel Tel Aviv are very undecided whether to sign Kishna in light of his rich injury history.
In the past, Kishna played for Ajax in the media, grew up, was sold to Lazio in 2015 and was also loaned out to French side before returning to the Netherlands following a rupture in the 2017/18 season, but this season he certainly shows he is recovering and missed just two games due to injuries. Kishna in his youth also played for the Dutch national team, but in the senior uniform he did not get to appear.
