Eric Schtillman and Ofer Yannay: Details of the Upcoming Meeting Revealed
The owner of Hapoel Tel Aviv and Eric Schtillman recorded a playful promo ahead of their joint event. The conversation concluded with a surprising question regarding Yam Madar's move to their city rival.
Beit HaPodium has released a promo for an intriguing event that will bring Ofer Yannay and Eric Schtillman, two of the most prominent names in the Tel Aviv basketball scene, onto one stage. The event will be open to the general public, and attendees will have the opportunity to direct questions to both figures.
In the published promo, a phone conversation between Schtillman and Yannay takes on a playful tone from the start. During the chat, Yannay teases Schtillman, saying:
"I don't have the Recanati recordings,"
referring to the ongoing conflict between Schtillman and the Recanati family regarding the ownership of the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball club.
Schtillman invites Yannay to the event, and despite Yannay mentioning he is busy with capital market reports after returning from abroad, the two manage to schedule their meeting for September 1st at the Gray club in Tel Aviv.
However, the conversation does not end there. Towards the end, Yannay asks Schtillman about Yam Madar, who moved from Hapoel Tel Aviv to their city rival, and inquires about his adaptation to the new team. Schtillman chooses not to engage in the discussion, replying briefly: "Bye." Yannay concludes the call with a jab, telling him: "Break a leg."
The event is expected to generate significant interest given the intense rivalry between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv for control of the city. Player transfers, such as those of Yam Madar and Tamir Blatt, along with internal club tensions, ensure that this meeting will be one of the most talked-about events in the near future.
