ISRAEL
Preview of Ghanaian players, 3 games until the end off the league by shaharv
Ishmael ADDO: has had a great session in Netania. I think he is the best striker in Israel right now. Netania want to finish the league in 4th place. Unfortunately this position does not lead to Europe, but a $500,000 price. Addo said in a newspaper interview that, he loves Israel and want to buy a house there, even if he leave to europe.

LOKMAN: In my opinion, he is a very talanted player, young but very strong. Netania want to give him a new contact.

PANSTIL plays for Maccabi Tel Aviv, who are currently toping the league. The team have had some very bad results in the last month, and has been caught up by the teams in the second and third positions. The top three teams now havs the same number of points, and thus a dramatic finish to the league is expected. Panstil has had a very good season. From the moment he arrived in maccabi, the team started to play better. The problem is with the coach; He's played pantsil in almost every postion on the field. Maccaci intends to extend his contract
