Maccabi Tel Aviv is back strong in the championship fight and it will probably be a reward for those responsible for it. The club does not rule out the possibility that Patrick Van Leven will continue as coach of the Yellows next season regardless of whether they achieve a third consecutive championship or not. Under the coach who replaced Yorgos Donis, the champion stabilized and scored 22 points from the last 24 possible.
Van Leven revived players like Tal Ben Haim and Matan Hozaz, and especially brought Maccabi Tel Aviv a lot of character and as evidenced by the fact that they recorded a 0: 1 victory against Sakhnin a deep victory under him deep in overtime. “It’s not luck, it’s character, there are big winners here “We did not give up the championship, on the contrary, the appetite is only growing and we feel it can be done.”
The screams in the locker room at the gate of Ashdod could also be heard in the distance and the joy in the locker room was also greater than the victory, of course. “We are unusually determined, confidence returned to us even if the ability is not always good enough,” Maccabi Tel Aviv players also claimed.
And now, Maccabi Tel Aviv is already thinking ahead – for the fourth time – then they will face Hapoel Hadera. Eyal Golsa and Enrique Sborit are expected to return to the squad, while the team will also try to train Yonatan Cohen.
