Avi Nimni claims: Hapoel Be'er Sheva needs to do something it has never done before
The former star and agent told 103FM: "They need someone of Kangwa's caliber, and such a player needs to be paid 2.5 million euros". And also: Why did he choose Hapoel Kfar Shalem for his son? Listen.
Even before Hapoel Be'er Sheva's 2-0 victory over Víkingur, Avi Nimni went on air yesterday (Wednesday) on the 103FM sports show, where the former star discussed his footballer son who is taking his first steps in his senior career, and subsequently, the former star analyzed several Premier League teams.
First, Avi Nimni addressed his son, Amit, who signed his first professional contract with Hapoel Kfar Shalem from the National League: "In general, I always advocate that a player needs playing minutes. It doesn't matter at all, there is no substitute for playing minutes, because when you play you can improve and upgrade, it no longer matters if you are in a better or lower league. There are players who insist on staying in a leading team instead of going to a less good team and in the end they lose everything. He is a striker, he is 1.96m."
Nimni continued: "I can't always go to games, when I can go I go, he has taken himself quite seriously in the last two years, he finished as the league's top scorer, in all the training games he scored goals so for now he is integrating fine."
Regarding Kings Kangwa's departure from Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Nimni said:
"I think it is a very big problem for Hapoel Be'er Sheva, because Kangwa and Lucas Ventura are Be'er Sheva itself, without them it is not in the upper playoffs. They have no choice, they need to bring in a foreign player of Kangwa's caliber and that is very hard to find. If they find one, it is a player you have to pay 2.5 million euros, you need to make a leap here to attract someone serious. It's not just the ability, Kangwa became the leader of Hapoel Be'er Sheva. He connected with the crowd. I think it is a huge hole for Hapoel Be'er Sheva. I am not coming to the club with complaints, but it is a huge hole."
Nimni was asked if Panathinaikos is a leap forward for Kangwa: "It is a huge and significant economic advancement. I must tell you that Kangwa has a bit of a problem. In Israel he succeeded very much, but when he was at Red Star he did not succeed. He has a good chance to succeed in Greece, because I think that the top teams in Israel, I don't want to say are better than Greece, but not worse."
