She arrived exhausted after the game against Shakhtar, faced a wide rotation and got one of the toughest draws she could get in the eighth round of the State Cup – but when he goes, then he goes. Although Maccabi Tel Aviv did not shine last night (Sunday) against BS, but completed its mission and qualified for the next stage – and as a result, Patrick Van Leven continues to accumulate points for next season.
The Maccabi Tel Aviv coach made eight changes from the squad he started against Shakhtar in the Europa League, with Matan Balteksa, who has not played since the beginning of the year, also being a part of them. “Right now everything is going to Patrick, but everything has been going well for him for a few months now. It should come as no surprise that he thinks Shakhtar can be beaten outside, he professionally changed the club from end to end,” said Maccabi.
Apart from Baltexa, the Yellows also mentioned Maor Kandil, who has been recovering from injury and since the arrival of Andre Geralds, has not often had minutes to play. In fact, it is not at all certain that Kandil will remain with Maccabi Tel Aviv, despite the excellent game. By doing so, the player will become free.
And what about Dor Peretz? The knot, which will become free in the summer, keeps the cards close to the chest. In light of his desire to go abroad, it seems that the direction is quite clear at this stage – despite the desire of Maccabi Tel Aviv to try and keep him. Meanwhile, the team players celebrated Itay Schechter’s birthday on the way back from the game.
“From one to ten, I enjoyed ten-thousand,” Matan Balteksa said at the conclusion. “It’s fun to be on the grass, fun to play, fun to play well – and I hope it continues like this. BS is a good team, it was a very difficult game, I am proud of my friends. There was a game of fighting, everyone gave their all. As someone who has won the trophy, ability is less important – it is important to win and decide as quickly as possible. This time we did it hard and sweet. ”
