While Maccabi Tel Aviv was running at the top of the Premier League, Dan Beaton is not playing a role this season and it turns out that there is a reason for that – “Dan is not dressing because he asked to leave in January,” said a club source. The midfielder has a contract for two more years and it is not impossible that in the winter, if the situation continues, both sides will look for another solution.”
The Yellows refused Dan Beaton’s request to leave, even though according to his agent, Dodo DeHaan, he was offered quite a bit of money. Vladimir Ivić made the decision not to allow him to be included in the squad in light of the fact that for him a player who wanted to leave, would have to prove himself more than others in order to regain the trust of the system.
Bitton made only two appearances in the league this season and both came off the bench: against Bnei Rayna in a 0:5 victory he played 20 minutes and against MS Ashdod he was a partner for only one minute. Since then he has not been included in the squad, once due to illness and the other times on the grounds of a ‘professional decision’. For comparison, in the previous two seasons, Beaton played 28 games in the first season in which he was loaned to the Yellows from Ludogorets in which he scored four goals and assisted nine and 21 last season in which he scored two goals and assisted seven.
A sharp transition to the eighth round draw in the State Cup. Even before the draw, Maccabi Tel Aviv were convinced that they would receive Umm El Fahem. This is a team that Ivić wanted to meet in order to close a circle, after, as I recall, they stunned him and the Yellows in 2019/20 with 2:3.
Maccabi Tel Aviv expects a financial fine and not the closing of stands 10-11 due to the throwing of flares in the derby. The club continued to claim yesterday (Wednesday) in court that civil lawsuits would be filed against fans who were caught disorderly.
