Lucas Ventura leaves Hapoel Be'er Sheva training session early
The Brazilian midfielder was not training at full intensity, prompting head coach Ran Kozuch to ask him to step aside. Meanwhile, the club is actively searching for a replacement for Kings Kangwa.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva head coach Ran Kozuch cut short Lucas Ventura's training session on Friday morning after noticing the Brazilian was not training at his usual intensity. Following a brief conversation on the pitch, the coach instructed the midfielder to stop. Sources within the club suggested that Ventura was not giving 100 percent, whether due to a minor injury, illness, or other reasons. Kozuch decided it was better for the player to sit out rather than train at a reduced pace.
It is worth noting that Ventura, like Kings Kangwa, did not return to training on time. However, unlike the Zambian, who is set to join Panathinaikos following the upcoming match against Vikingur, Ventura is expected to remain with Hapoel Be'er Sheva, as no official offers have been received for him during this break.
The club remains confident that Kangwa will give his all in the upcoming match against Vikingur to end his tenure on a high note, rather than protecting himself ahead of his move to Greece. Hapoel Be'er Sheva is already searching for a replacement for the midfielder and plans to add a center-back to the squad soon.
