Maccabi Haifa Fan Group Fails to Reconcile with Player Yarin Levi
The "Green Monkeys" fan organization of Maccabi Haifa has confirmed that attempts to reconcile with player Yarin Levi have failed. Levi rejoined Maccabi Haifa this past summer. During an open training session, he reportedly refused to sing songs against his former team, Beitar Jerusalem.
Following this incident, the fan group did not cheer for Levi during the team's initial games of the season. The organization explained their stance on Monday, stating it's not uncommon for players arriving from rival clubs to face a lack of initial encouragement. They clarified that they do not prevent other fans from supporting such players, but their group's approach is to withhold support initially.
The "Green Monkeys" revealed that they approached Levi before the team's training camp to smooth things over and start the season with a clean slate, specifically addressing his actions during the Beitar training. However, this reconciliation attempt was unsuccessful. The organization stated they cannot elaborate further at this time but confirmed that Levi is currently neither being cheered nor cursed by the group.
