Opening a season in the port city. As part of the reporter’s trip for “Machamimim” ahead of the start of the season, Sharon Perry came to have a busy conversation with the staff and players of MS Ashdod. The one who, unsurprisingly, was in the spotlight was the team’s coach, Ran Ben Shimon.
“This year we will start with new energy, new players, we have a good team and amazing young people that the league should see,” said the coach. When asked about his former apprentice who plays for Maccabi Haifa, Ben Shimon provided a clear line of defense: “Dean David? The deliveries came late. Until the end of my days I will protect him as if he were my child. ‘Dean, don’t listen to anyone. They deliver to you late, it’s not you'” .
Another player who links to the greens is Nenad Svetkovic: “Maccabi Haifa? That’s what people are saying, but these are rumors. I’ll wait for my time, move to Maccabi Haifa or another club, I don’t know, right now I’m here.”
