With seven consecutive victories in the league, Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to threaten the championship title after yesterday (Monday) achieved a convincing 1: 3 over MS Ashdod, and it actually accumulates a crazy balance of 34 points out of the last 36 possible. The one who received the most praise was Daniel Tennenbaum, who in a big second half left the points in the home of the Yellows, who continue to chase after Maccabi Haifa.
“Tennenbaum was great, there is no place in the body that the ball did not hit. He saved us,” team players said of the goalkeeper. Tennenbaum’s story is inspiring: he arrived as a third goalkeeper from Brazil, after being registered as a newcomer. He later enlisted in the army, and over time improved his status at the club and became a second goalkeeper for Vladimir Ivitch. Last year, when Greek goalkeeper Andreas Janiotis was injured and showed weak ability, Tennenbaum stood in the goal in a big season that ended with only ten mandatory goals in the league.
This year his outstanding ability continues. “There is no doubt that he is a great goalkeeper with a presence,” they said of him at the club. “He’s getting better all the time, the backbone of the defense.” It should be noted that Tennenbaum is finishing his fifth season in Israel, and he could be cash for the team.
In general, Maccabi Tel Aviv is very pleased with the goalkeeper and also with what happened yesterday in the game: “The ability was not good in the second half, but again we showed character. “Despite this crazy schedule, we do not stop winning. We do not break, the goal is clear to everyone, we move forward.”
Even the current coach, Patrick van Leven, understands that in such a crazy run there will be bad games, but what is important is getting the points. “If anyone is waiting for an apology for the ability in the second half, he will keep waiting,” team officials said. “What’s going on here is a fantastic thing. We’re back from the dead and we want a championship. It’s going to be close to the end.” Beyond Tennenbaum, Matan Hozaz, who continues to issue numbers (last night’s gate and cooking), also received praise.
Alongside all this, Ayalon Almog has not been on the roster or for the first time in recent games, which leaves him disappointed. Also, Yonatan Cohen will only return in a week and Alexander Peshich, as mentioned, will also be absent from at least the next two games after being infected with Corona. But Maccabi Tel Aviv proved that even without the two main executors of the team, it does not stop.
