Abarbanel: Hapoel TA replaced noise with order, and the results speak

Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel Be'er Sheva 1-0 at Turner Stadium and climbed to the top of the Premier League. The article reviews the shift from chaos to stability under the new ownership of Edmond Safra, the appointments of Guy Primor and Eliniv Barda, and the dream of a first championship since 2010.

Hapoel Tel Aviv defeated Hapoel Be'er Sheva 1-0 last night (Sunday) at Turner Stadium, moving to first place in the Premier League after ten rounds. The victory, described by many as the match of the season, marks a significant turnaround for a club that was relegated to the second division just two years ago. The article reviews the changes that led to the success: the acquisition of the club by Edmond Safra in the summer of 2024, the appointment of Guy Primor as CEO and Eliniv Barda as coach, an upgrade to the scouting system, and investment in new signings and young players from the club. The team recorded eight wins in the opening ten rounds, including six in a row, with only six goals conceded. Despite the momentum, coach Barda is cautious and emphasizes that the road is still long. The central question is whether this is the beginning of a new era or a temporary success.
