Avi Namani, one of the most prominent agents in Israeli football, was interviewed today (Tuesday), on the program ‘Five Radio’. Nemani talked about some of the top players he represents, talked about the situation of Matan Hozuz and Aden Kartsev, the plans of Daniel Peretz, and referred to the fight for the championship and also to the case of Eran Zahavi and the room in the team.
First, Nemani spoke about the outrage of some Maccabi Tel Aviv fans for Matan Hozza: “This is something that was created by 2-3 people who started with it, but it stopped. The media is trying to inflame. This is not a story. He is a big boy and he overcomes it, no We need to make an issue out of it.”
On Aden Kartsev, who left for Dynamo Moscow in the summer but returned to Netanya after the deal did not materialize: “He has a contract with Maccabi Netanya and he needs to concentrate on that.”
Maccabi Tel Aviv, the leader of the table, has conceded only two goals so far this season, much of it thanks to their goalkeeper Daniel Peretz. “Daniel is under contract, there is no need to talk about what will happen,” Nemani said. “Maccabi Tel Aviv is fighting for the championship. This messing up causes problems with the audience, there is a group and it has goals. Today everyone knows everything, what needs to happen will happen. Players need to understand that they need to concentrate on where they are, anyone who thinks far away loses everything.”
“Maccabi Tel Aviv’s problem is that it didn’t run away to Haifa”
Nemani, who previously took a significant part in some of the major championship battles between Maccabi Tel Aviv and the green club from the Carmel, gave his interpretation: “The problem is that Maccabi Tel Aviv is only one point behind Maccabi Haifa. I expected them to lose points, but Maccabi Tel Aviv She didn’t use it to run away. Because there is a World Cup, it eats the cards.”
“There will be a four-week break, they will have a rest after all the loads. Haifa has a big plus, they go into the break and they will come mentally strong. Maccabi Tel Aviv can find itself in a problem because Maccabi Haifa looks better professionally. At the moment Haifa looks better. I know that both teams are planning changes in January.”
There is no reason why Zahabi should not return to the national team”
Namani also referred to the case of Eran Zahavi and the chosen hotel room. “In the end, everyone is human and makes mistakes. It’s a situation in which everyone lost, and a right solution needs to be found. Everyone is trying to light up the atmosphere. The story is not between Yossi and Eran. The instruction came out precisely when Alon Hazan, the coach of the national team, that everyone be in pairs in the rooms.”
“A solution had to be found. As soon as a solution was not found, life goes on. There is no reason why Eran should not return to the national team. Eran is a smart guy and knew how to find a solution at the right moment and at the right time. We take the business to extreme places beyond what it really is.”
