Israeli midfielder Bibras Natho

Bibras Natho is an Israeli midfielder who plays for CSKA Moscow. This year he turned 28, so it's safe to say that he reached the peak of his career - especially given that he is currently the strongest representative of his country. Bibras Natho plays at the position of the central midfielder, but at the same time he is also a universal of the center of the field - he can act both as an attacker and as a supporting midfielder.

Carier start

Bibras Natho was born on February 18, 1988 in Israel, where he started playing football. In 2000, when he was 12 years old, Natcho found himself at the academy of one of the largest clubs in the country - "Hapoel" (Tel Aviv). There he spent six years until he turned eighteen - then with an adult football player was signed a professional contract. In the first season the midfielder entered the field 21 times and was remembered with all his wonderful game. As a result, the young talent became the player of the basis of the Israeli club, for four years playing in 147 games and scoring eight goals. In 2007, he won his first trophy - the Israel Cup. But in March 2010, "Hapoel" received an offer from the Kazan "Rubin", who wanted to buy a player for 650 thousand euros - so Bibras Natho was opening his way to a more prestigious tournament than the Israeli championship.

Going to the "Ruby"

In March 2010, Bibras Natho, a footballer who had not yet performed anywhere outside his native country, moved to Russia - and immediately began to play the basis of "Rubin". For four years in the club, Natcho managed to become one of the key players of the team. He spent as many matches for "Ruby", as for "Hapoel" - 147. But this time he scored a much larger number of goals - in these four years he scored 31 goals. Moreover, many other effective and useful actions have been taken on his account - that is why in the winter of 2014 he was invited by the Greek PAOK, to which he left for free, as his contract with the Kazan club expired. Bibras Natho, whose nationality and provenance literally indicated that he would be more comfortable in the south, moved to Greece. But stayed there for a bit.

Short term in PAOK

However, contrary to all the predictions, Natho could not get accustomed to the Greek club - he played in 19 games, scoring three goals. To replenish the treasure trophy he could not - even with "Ruby" in 2012, Bibras won the Cup of Russia, but in Greece he was unlucky. As a result, his short-term contract was not extended, and Natho was forced to look for a new club. Fortunately, in Russia he was remembered by absolutely everyone, that's why one of the strongest clubs in the country called CSKA Moscow.

The game for CSKA Moscow

In 2014, Bibras Natho signed a four-year contract with the club, for which he immediately began to act as the player of the basis. In the first season, the midfielder entered the field 34 times, scoring 14 goals. It was an impressive result, but the next season, the Israeli was moved much deeper, so he scored only two goals in 31 games, as now he had to deal with defensive matters. But it only benefited both the player and the team - the "army team" won the Russian championship in 2016.

In the current season, the midfielder has already played ten matches, in which he has not scored a single goal - but all this is because he played in the position of the defensive midfielder. But in March 2016, the Israeli stated in an interview that he could change the club in the summer. And in the press immediately appeared articles about the fact that Bibras Natho leaves CSKA. Naturally, these rumors were not justified, and the midfielder remained in the Russian club.

National team appearances

For the national team of Israel, Bibras Natho has already conducted 42 matches, having scored one goal in September 2012 in the goal of the national team of Azerbaijan. But he debuted for the team in March 2010 in a duel against the national team of Romania. The Israelis do not represent a strong team, so at major tournaments they did not differ anywhere. Even Nato's talent did not help them at least once to qualify. The last match of the midfielder for the national team took place in May 2016 - it was a friendly match with the national team of Serbia. Call for the qualifying matches in the fall of 2016 Natho received, but in the first match remained on the bench. And for the October matches against the teams of Macedonia and Liechtenstein, he was not even called.
