Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to mature. Last night (Tuesday), the Yellows defeated Hapoel Haifa 2: 3 in Sami Ofer and qualified for the quarterfinals of the State Cup. The double dream is alive and well for the hot team of Patrick Van Leven.
Despite the wide rotation, the Dutch coach makes sure to keep Eyal Golsa and Dor Peretz in the squad, who give the team the balance. Players on the team said: “Peretz is currently a level above the league. He and Gulsa our anchors are also in wide rotation. Everyone saw how vulnerable we were when Peretz left the game. It seems that his influence at the moment is very similar to the dominance that Eran Zehavi had.”
Another player who squeezes compliments is Daniel Tennenbaum who excelled between the posts. “It is not certain that he received the credit he deserved for his achievement last year, when the team conceded only ten goals. This year, everyone already understands that he is a great goalkeeper. This is not the first time he has won games for us,” the club said.
It will be recalled that Maccabi is negotiating with the goalkeeper and estimates that he will sign a long-term contract soon. The road to the Israeli team also looks paved at the end of the season, so he will complete five years in Israel. The team continued to praise Tennenbaum: He is simply a machine, a professional at the highest levels. Speaks with each defensive player in his own language. The hat should be taken off his face. “
Beyond the desire to finish the regular season in first place, Maccabi Tel Aviv strives to reach the game of the season against Maccabi Haifa (round 28) when it is in full force. The hope of the champion is that Jonathan Cohen, Alexander Peshich, Andre Geralds, Eden Kartzev, Enrique Sborit ( “The goal is to get to the last line with the heavy tools and transmit power in the moment of truth.”
