Walla Sport Launches New Football Show 'Not For Publication'
Walla Sport has launched a new weekly program titled 'Not For Publication,' featuring the website's sports reporters discussing current events in Israeli football. The inaugural episode, released on Wednesday, included former player and coach Slobodan Drapić as a guest.
Topics covered in the first episode ranged from potential conflicts between players Yarden Shua and Almog Cohen, and what is perceived as lacking in the Hapoel Jerusalem team's squad. The program also delved into Maccabi Tel Aviv's transfer window, including a defender who nearly joined the club instead of Tyris Asante, and questions surrounding Maccabi Haifa's squad building and the excitement around player Brazão.
Further discussions addressed the controversy surrounding player Ohad Davida during a derby match and general issues faced by referees in Israeli football. Drapić shared personal anecdotes, including his resignation from Beitar Jerusalem following an incident with Yarden Shua, his experience seeking an analyst role in Sakhnin and ending up with a wedding photographer, the story behind Renato's arrival at Maccabi Haifa, managing stars like Eran Levy and Omer Atzili, and his brit milah at age 25.
