Guy evening ( Hebrew גיא אבנד; * November 8, 1990 in Netanya ) is an Israeli football player on the position of midfielder .

Club career

Career start

Guy Abend was born on November 8, 1990 as the third child of Arie and Tali Abend in the Israeli coastal city of Netanya. Before his first birthday, the family moved to the United States and settled in Washington, DC . He lived there for the next six years and gained his first experience in football at the Washington, DC Jewish Community Center , which he then expanded upon after returning to Israel. In his hometown, he played in the next generation of an amateur club and joined the youth department of Maccabi Netanja as a 14-year-old . In 2008 he made the leap into its professional squad, but was not used in this for years and served as a reservist. The then 19-year-old only made his professional league debut in the 2009/10 season when he was substituted on by coach Reuven Atar for Snir Gueta in the 3: 3 away game against Hapoel Tel Aviv . This season he finished with the team in ninth place in the table and was briefly in the professional squad in the following season. He spent the rest of the season on loan from the Israeli second division club Hapoel Kfar Saba , where he was also hardly considered. Until the end of the season, when Hapoel Kfar Saba finished the season in first place and failed in the promotion play-off, the evening brought only one championship appearance. One reason for his few missions was that he served his three-year military service with the Israel Defense Forces .

Team captain at Hapoel Ironi Rischon LeZion

To his real breakthrough came evening after joining Hapoel Ironi Rishon LeZion in the summer of 2011. The team had by a second place in the final of the Liga Leumit 2010/11 direct promotion to the Ligat ha'Al managed and played 2011/12 in the highest Israeli football league. In his 19 championship appearances, which he completed this season, he was in 16 from the start on the field. Of the 19 games, 13 were in regular time and six in the relegation round, in which the team, due to a penultimate place in the final table, had to participate. After the team lost all seven games there, they rose again to the Leumit league. After relegation to the second division, Abend, at the age of 21 at the time, was appointed team captain of Hapoel Ironi Rischon LeZion. In the 37 championship games (30 games in regular time and seven games in the top play-offs) that his team Liga Leumit played in 2012/13 , evening was in 33 games on the field and ended the season in sixth place in the table. During this season, the young captain also scored his first competitive goal in professional football. Furthermore, he won the league cup of the Liga Leumit with his team this season.

As captain, he also led his team through the Liga Leumit 2013/14 and was used in 32 of the 37 championship games (30 games in regular time and seven games in the lower play-offs). He managed to score once again and was able to fight his way from twelfth place to eleventh place at the end of the lower play-offs with the team in the largely very closely staggered final table and thus secure relegation. This almost led to a move back to the Israeli upper house in the evening, where he was in negotiations with the MS Ashdod . After a move failed, his agent introduced him to Irishman James O'Connor , the new coach of the then third-rate US soccer franchise Louisville City FC, which played in the United Soccer League . O'Connor had seen videos of the evening on YouTube and expressed an interest in the 1.83 m tall midfielder.

Return to the United States

After a successful trial training, Abend was signed by the Americans and was one of the first three obligations of the newly founded franchise. His competitive debut was in the evening's first game of the season, a 2-0 home win over Saint Louis FC , on March 28, 2015, when O'Connor let him play through the full 90 minutes. After he was used as a substitute in the subsequent round against the Richmond Kickers , he sat unused on the bench for the next three games before he was not part of the squad for months. It was not until July that he sat on the bench again in an encounter without a mission and then only played minutes again on August 12, 2015 in a 5-1 away win over the Harrisburg City Islanders . By the end of the 2015 game year , he then made five more games to irregular appearances and finished the season with the team in second place in the Eastern Conference behind the Rochester Rhinos . As a result, he reached the conference semifinals with the team , in which Louisville City defeated the Charleston Battery franchise 2-0 in overtime. In the subsequent conference finals, the team lost to the Rochester Rhinos 0-1 in extra time. In total, Abend was used in eight league games and two play-off games this year and reached the fourth round of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2015 with the team , where the team only won the MLS franchise Chicago Fire with 0 : 1 was subject.

In the 2016 game year , O'Connor used it several times, often playing through the full 90 minutes. As in the previous year, Louisville City FC made it to second place in the Eastern Conference at the end of the season . This time, the team started in the first round of the final play-offs and, after winning over the Richmond Kickers and Charleston Battery, made it to the Conference Finals , where the franchise won the first place in the Eastern Conference , the New York Red Bulls II , on penalties was subject. Abend had made 23 championship appearances and five goals in regular time this year, as well as three appearances in the play-offs. In the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup 2016 , he and the team were eliminated in Round 3 against Indy Eleven after they had only just barely won on penalties in the previous game against Detroit City FC .

After evening started somewhat cautiously in the 2017 game year , he became a regular in the defensive or central midfield from the five rounds at the latest and was often used in other midfield positions by coach James O'Connor. By the end of the season, evening was used in 27 of the 32 possible games of the regular season and contributed one goal. In the end, Louisville City ranked first in the Eastern Conference and was able to prove itself in the subsequent play-offs. After victories over Bethlehem Steel FC , Rochester Rhinos and New York Red Bulls II, the franchise made it into the USL's championship-winning final. The team won 1-0 on November 13, 2017 against Swope Park Rangers with a late goal from Cameron Lancaster ; Guy Abend was on the bench in all four play-off games without a stake. Due to an insult, which he uttered at the same time as the final whistle of the final, he received the red card from referee José Carlos Rivero in the 98th minute .

Change to Reno

After his contract with Louisville City expired at the end of the 2017 season, Abend moved to Reno 1868 FC on a free transfer within the league during the winter break and signed a one-year contract. The coach of the franchise, the former professional player Ian Russell , put him in the central midfield as a regular from the second round of the championship after serving the red card he had received because of the red card from the 2017 final in the first round match. To date (as of May 2, 2018), the Israeli has played in four championship games for the franchise from the gambling city of Reno in the US state of Nevada and has so far remained goalless.

National team career

On September 14, 2008, evening made his debut in the Israeli U-19 national team , when he was used in a 0-1 defeat against his colleagues from Hungary at a tournament in Serbia . A day later he completed a second international match against the U-19s from Montenegro . About a month later, in October 2008, on the occasion of qualifying for the U-19 European Championship 2009 , he played three more U-19 international appearances in Portugal . With his home country he won the game against the footballers of the same age from Bulgaria and lost both games against Finland and Portugal . As third in Group 12, the team did not make it into the subsequent elite round of qualification and was eliminated early. Nothing is known about further international matches in the evening.

Private

His father Arie worked for El Al for over 30 years and now works for Amiel Tours , where he is responsible for planning tours in Israel. His mother Tali is a clinical psychologist and his older brother Rany is also active in this field. His older sister Dafna works as an English teacher in a primary school.
