Gay or Guy Lozon? opps
Yada, Yada, Yada
13.9.2002,
Maccabi Petach Tikva is very odd team, not very successful yet they always
manage to knock all the big clubs. But they where always unstable team. Maybe
Guy Lozon can make something better this year.
Gay or Guy Lozon? opps
No one believes that this year will be deferent because this team
has a lot of power. Guy Lozon son of the owners is the coach of this team. Guy
took Maccabi Petach Tikva last year after they where in the last place thanks to
Eli Ohana. The team has one Israeli cup and 2 toto cups in their closet.
Lozon has good goalkeeper Sagi Shtraos that is back after some poor period.
Shtraos should have been one of the best goalkeepers in Israel but didn’t due to
some horrible mistakes in the goal. Kobi Shalo will be his replacement as a
goalkeeper. Shalo is former Hapoel Tel Aviv goalkeeper.
Morad Megamadov and Sharon Tzofin will be the main men in the center of defense.
Megamadov is a good sweeper that was in his way to Maccabi Tel Aviv few years
ago but he was injured badly. Ismaeil Amar will play as right back will his
friend Kobi Ganon will run up and down at the left wing. Tomer Ben Yosef is a
good replacement for all the defenders. Kfir Partieli and Eitan Pariente will
seek for more minutes on the field.
Idan Malihi will still be the most important name in the midfield. Idan Malihi
is a skillful player but he seems to have troubles leading the team. Angoy
Ansombo and Eikenza Simba the new signs at Petach Tikva will have take more on
their selves to make Petach Tikva more successful team. Gay Itzhak is another
good player that need to be more involved in the team. Soli Tzemah the
21-year-old was discovered last year after some nice football moments. He needs
to step up even more this year. Dragan Tadic with the curly hair was always some
interesting player for me. He has good skill yet he can't use it all the time.
But when he do use his ability he makes some magic with the ball. Asi Mashiah
(anointed by the Lord is the meaning) is another talented but young player. Erez
Laloz and Gal Alberman will finish the squad at the midfield.
The offence at Maccabi Petach Tikva looks rather nice. Kobi Refoa is the golden
boot winner last year in the Israeli league, so everyone can depend on him to
score goal. But his career suffered some ups and downs to many times. Kobi Refoa
is a former player of Maccabi Tel Aviv but he didn’t function there. His soul
mate is Lior Asolin the man who came from Maccabi Herzlia after to many scandals
this summer. Robil Sarsor only 19 years old came from the youth team. Believe it
or not his name means pimp in Hebrew! Petach Tikva and he hope he will not
become one if won't have good season. Alex Loeit and Omer Golan might have more
influence this year in the game, but first they need minutes.
It seems like Lozon's team look very balanced. Petach Tikva has good players in every position and also the subs are good too. But Lozon still is very inexperience at Ligat-Hal (or Ligat-Hall). He has nice keeper, good defenders, great midfielders and fantastic offence. Who needs more?
Expectations: 5-6th spot in the league, win the cup
or toto cup.
Reality: 5th place and will be out of the cup in the second or
3rd round although they might surprise some of us. Maybe the toto cup
will go to Maccabi Petach Tikva they took twice.
Player to watch: Lior Asolin: after all the bla bla and yada, yada, yada
of the coming season, the man who desperately wanted to leave Herzelia left now
all the big pressure of being someone it the first division is on him. Him and
we want to see if Bietar Jerusalem lost a fantastic striker or gain some money!
Possible starting 11: Sagi Shtraos; Ismaeil Amar, Morad Megamadov, Sharon
Tzofin, Kobi Ganon; Idan Malihi, Eikenza Simba, Angoy Ansombo, Dragan Tadic;
Lior Asolin, Kobi Refoa.
DiD u Know: Idan Tal that nowadays plays at Raio Valacano played in Maccabi Petach Tikva almost all his years in Israeli soccer before moving to Hapoel Tel Aviv and then to Europe. Idan came to the team from Hapoel Jerusalem.
