Guy Melamed scored 70 percent of Hapoel Haifa’s league goals this season – 14 out of 20. Itay Shechter, a type of striker and a type of commentator, claimed in “Shaar Hashabat” that in order to be the best player in the league today, Melamed has to do it in one of the “big” teams.
In other words, what will make Melamed great is not the fact that he single-handedly takes a nice and well-trained team from 9-10th place to 5-6th place, but that he will play in a team that is well liked by the referees, that has the ability to establish a link that puts in quality balls and that teams are stymied in front of . Sorry, but it doesn’t work like that: great Guy Melamed, absolutely the best player in the league right now.
