Shon Weissman Struggles to Find Scoring Form at Beitar Jerusalem

Shon Weissman arrived at Beitar Jerusalem last summer amid immense expectations, returning to Israeli football after seven years in Europe with hopes of leading the yellow-and-black to a championship title. However, the experienced striker has struggled to replicate the prolific form that saw him score over 80 goals abroad and secure promotions with Spanish clubs like Real Valladolid and Granada. With just one league goal in ten appearances so far, the 30-year-old forward is facing a challenging adjustment period in the capital.

Tactical Demands and Growing Frustration

Part of Weissman's current struggles can be attributed to Almog Cohen's intense tactical system, which demands relentless defensive pressing from all outfield players. While Weissman works tirelessly off the ball, this heavy defensive workload appears to hinder his attacking involvement and presence inside the opponent's penalty area. Despite his evident frustration on the pitch—often seen reacting to missed opportunities with visible disappointment—both the coaching staff and the supporters maintain faith in his ability to turn things around alongside creative playmakers like Yarden Shua and Omer Atzili.
