Opinion | Not just Erwin Koeman: Eli Ohana also needs to leave Betar

by time news

Erwin Koeman has finished, as expected, his job and it’s good that way, but the responsibility for the resounding failure falls not only on his shoulders, but also on his friend Eli Ohana, who for five years we saw nothing of him and nothing and heard from him mostly thunderous silence

Betar looked shocking in Sakhnin, did not play football and could not do simple actions. It was not the first game the team played like that, and it is hard to believe that there was anyone who was really surprised when coach Erwin Koeman asked to end his role.

Under the Dutch coach Betar showed poor ability, as well as its victories (except for the derby) it achieved by a narrow margin or in a receding and cowardly game. Before the games against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva, which would probably lower the success rate even further.

Koeman forced the 5-3-2 system on the team, even when it was clear to everyone that it was not suitable for Betar, and for several reasons: First, Betar does not have three stable and coordinated brakes with each other, certainly when the game against Bnei Sakhnin has no brake that played There was a “natural brake”.

The lineup is one big failure and Koeman’s fixation did not allow him to change that. Koeman, in fact, did not contribute anything to Betar, and various excuses and assumptions such as a missing and injured staff are also unacceptable.

Those who “helped” him go, unintentionally, are the three senior foreigners Jesse, Boachi and Vankovic, probably the highest earners at the club, who failed to rise above the mediocrity that surrounds Betar and their ability is an important tier of failure. The highlight was when the Montenegrin Show how irresponsible he is with an unnecessary red, who actually broadcast that he does not want to be here at all.

Koeman, in fact, did not contribute anything to Betar from the moment he landed and was tired of giving him discounts on a missing and injured staff. The Dutchman’s defensive defeat and fixation did not advance Betar in any way and it was good that he left.

Koeman, it should be noted, is a comfortable and pleasant person, but it seems that any connection between him and the coaching of a football team is absolutely coincidental.

Koeman is not the sole culprit. Eli Ohana fell in love with the silent role. The club he heads at the moment is falling apart and he continues to be silent. There is no connection between the player Ohana, who was a great leader who took responsibility and spoke his fluent language, and the professional who hid to the tools in his five years at the club.

Ohana will always remain the greatest Betar sergeant of all, but at the end of the season he should be said goodbye. His conduct is one big disappointment.

So what do we have this year in Betar? The owner is complicated to the top in investigations, the management is not exactly functioning and the club is on the way to collapse.

in another matter. Football fans who travel to Sakhnin find it very difficult to get there and fear for their safety. This time it was the hate songs “In blood with fire we redeemed al-Aqsa”, Palestinian flags, Islamic movement flags, throwing full water bottles of local fans at Betar players (one of whom hit Yankovich in the head) and more. How did Eran Zehavi say at the time? “I do not know if we played in Ramallah or in Israel.” It’s time to close the Doha Stadium. The atmosphere there is hostile and dangerous – it’s time to stop being afraid.
