The rate of accumulation of points by Maccabi Tel Aviv since Patrick Van Leven was appointed the team’s coach is simply tremendous. 21 possibilities.
“Patrick succeeds because he makes everything simple,” say Maccabi Tel Aviv, “the team and the defense are standing properly, he has a very clear method of 4: 3: 3, and even if football is not in the sky – we win. that’s what important”.
Only one ugly incident, in which rival player Joshua spat at Avi Rikan, overshadowed the big win. “Joshua behaves like a brat,” say Maccabi, “he is tired of allowing himself to do whatever he wants. Sometimes Tal Ben-Haim gets an elbow from him for a rib, sometimes Almog Cohen bleeds because of him. Maccabi hopes that the Portuguese, with the help of TV cameras, will be subject to disciplinary action in the court of the Football Association and will even be removed from several games.
The team praised the ability of Ben Haim, who won a second game in a row and arranged a valuable victory for the Yellows: “Tal is an asset. It’s fun to see him like this,” said Maccabi.
Defender Andre Graldesh started in the squad for the first time since returning to the team and said: “I was ready to play, and the most important thing is that we beat BS and Maccabi Haifa. “BS is a good team and it’s always hard to play against them, but we got the goal that gave us the victory. Now we have to concentrate on the next game.”
