Former Israeli football star Eyal Berkovich has publicly expressed his frustration with Guy Peleg, a senior legal correspondent for Channel 12 News, over the latter's intense focus on Maccabi Haifa.
Berkovich, speaking on the "The Magician and His Sons" podcast, shared that Peleg's constant discussions about the football club were "driving him crazy." He revealed he sent Peleg a message stating, "Guy, there are elections in two weeks, the fate of the country, get out of my life with this Maccabi Haifa." Berkovich then played a voice message he sent to Peleg, urging him to "find new hobbies" like reading, gardening, or doing laundry, and to "stop bothering me with this football."
The former player contrasted his own life priorities with Peleg's, describing his own interests as his children, work, partner, and granddaughter Emma, along with enjoying good food and wine. Berkovich depicted Peleg's home life as surprisingly domestic, involving extensive care for a parrot, reading, managing laundry for his four children, and gardening.
Berkovich admitted that his own restless nature means he needs to be constantly active, finding solitude difficult and stating he "can go crazy" if not working. He humorously noted that he even started talking to trees after being alone for an hour and a half.
