Tonight (Thursday), Maccabi Tel Aviv will host Shakhtar Donetsk in the knockout stage of the Europa League and one of the champions’ players will be closely monitored. Dor Peretz, who will start in the lineup, is arousing a lot of interest across the continent. At the end of the year he will become a free agent, with Anderlecht very interested in him and may even send a representative to test him. Dynamo and Lokomotiv Moscow are also interested in the connection, which caught the eyes of scouts in France as well.
Professionally, the champion is preparing for the game against Shakhtar and strongly believes in herself. Beyond the confidence that was demonstrated yesterday at the press conference Patrick Van Leven and Dan Glazer, the team is mainly encouraged by the significant improvement in the league. The Dutchman stabilized the defense that conceded only three goals in ten games under him and made Maccabi more verified, or as Dan Glazer said: “We are back to being a happy team.” Patrick was asked about his future and said: “In the meantime, I will coach Maccabi Tel Aviv until the end of the season. I have a lot of fun and then we will make decisions. “
Eyal Golsa will return to the squad for the battle against the Ukrainians. The knot recovered from the ankle injury, but is unlikely to open. Van Leven will go on a condensed link probably with Sharan Yeni, Glazer and Peretz. Tal Ben Haim, Matan Hozaz and Alexander Peshich are due to open from the front.
Estimated composition: Daniel Tennenbaum, Andre Geralds, Luis Hernandez, Eitan Tibi, Enrique Sborit, Sharan Yeni, Dan Glazer, Dor Peretz, Tal Ben Haim, Matan Hozaz and Alexander Peshich.
