Bibras Natho is an Israeli midfielder who plays for CSKA Moscow. This year he turned 28 years old, so we can safely say that he has reached the peak of his career - especially given the fact that today he is the strongest representative of his country. Bibras Natho plays in the position of the central midfielder, but he is also a universal of the center of the field - he can act both as an attacker and as a defensive midfielder.
Carier start
Bibras Natho was born on February 18, 1988 in Israel, where he began to play football. In 2000, when he was 12 years old, Natho ended up at the academy of one of the country's largest clubs - Hapoel (Tel Aviv). There he spent the whole six years until he was eighteen - then a professional contract was signed with an adult football player. In the first season, the midfielder entered the field 21 times and was remembered by all for his wonderful game. As a result, the young talent became a player in the foundation of the Israeli club, having played in 147 games in four years and scored eight goals. In 2007, he won his first trophy - the Israel Cup. But in March 2010, Hapoel received an offer from Kazan Rubin, who wanted to buy a player for 650 thousand euros - thus Bibras Natho opened the way for himself in a more prestigious tournament than the Israeli championship.
Going to Rubin
In March 2010, Bibras Natho, a football player who had not yet played anywhere outside his native country, moved to Russia - and immediately began playing at the base of Rubin. For four years at the club, Natho managed to become one of the key players in the team. He spent as many matches for Rubin as he did for Hapoel - 147. But this time he scored a lot more goals - in these four years he scored 31 goals. Moreover, on his account there are a lot of other effective and useful actions - that is why in the winter of 2014 he was invited by the Greek PAOK, to which he left for free, since his contract with the Kazan club expired. Bibras Natho, whose nationality and origin literally indicated that he would play more comfortably in the south, moved to Greece. But lingered there for a short while.
Short term in PAOK
However, contrary to all predictions, Natho could not take root in the Greek club - he played in 19 matches, scoring three goals. He could not replenish the trophy piggy bank - even with Rubin in 2012, Bibras won the Russian Cup, but in Greece he was unlucky. As a result, his short-term contract was not renewed, and Natho was forced to look for a new club. Fortunately, in Russia he was remembered by absolutely everyone, so the Israeli called to himself one of the country's strongest clubs - Moscow CSKA.
The game for CSKA
In 2014, Bibras Natho signed a four-year contract with the club, for which he immediately began to act as a base player. In the first season, the midfielder entered the field 34 times, scoring 14 goals. This was an impressive result, but the next season the Israeli was pushed much deeper, so he scored only two goals in 31 matches, since now he had to deal with defensive matters. But this only benefited both the player and the team - “CSKA” won the Russian championship in 2016.
This season, the midfielder has already played ten matches in which he did not score a single goal - but all this because he played in the position of a defensive midfielder. But in March 2016, an Israeli said in an interview that he could change the club in the summer. And in the press immediately appeared articles that Bibras Natho leaves CSKA. Naturally, these rumors did not materialize, and the midfielder remained in the Russian club.
Team appearances
Bibras Natho has already played 42 matches for the Israeli team, scoring one goal in them in September 2012 against the Azerbaijani team. But he made his debut for the national team in March 2010 in a duel against the Romanian national team. The Israelis are not a strong team, so in major tournaments they did not distinguish themselves anywhere. Even Natho’s talent did not help them qualify at least once. 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. Natho received a call to the qualifiers in the fall of 2016, but in the first match he remained on the bench. And in the October matches against the national teams of Macedonia and Liechsteinstein he was not even called up.
