Trent Sainsbury played for only one year at Maccabi Haifa, before being released last summer, but according to an interview he conducted with the Australian Association, he will not forget the short period so quickly. The international stopper who left for Belgian side Kortrijk praised his compatriot Nikita Rokavica and the Greens fans who stayed with him deep in his heart.
“King Nicki, he is the King of Israel for a good cause,” he began Sciencebury. “He finds the frame in any situation he gets into. He has a deadly extension. Very fast for his age. I had the pleasure of playing with him, of course we had the Australian connection, he helped me adapt quickly and taught me about Israel. It’s not like any country you come to. “To her, there are certain rules and situations that you have to deal with. Everywhere we went together people would say to him ‘Oh Rokavica, Rokavica’. It was a great experience and I’m glad I was by his side on the pitch.”
The brakeman spoke about the atmosphere created by the crowd at Sami Ofer: “On a game day you can feel the energy and electricity in the air, we played the best football for generations – that’s what the fans would tell us and people inside the club. When we won 1: 5, I think, one of the best rivals “Our greatness, every person in the stadium jumped, it felt like an earthquake. It was crazy. They are the best I played for them by a big margin. They live and breathe the club, I can not think of other fans approaching them.”
“King Niki. He is the king of Israel basically” 👑
