Ten consecutive victories in the Premier League, 40 points out of 42 possible and opening a temporary gap of four points at the top: everything goes to Maccabi Tel Aviv under Patrick Van Leven. After another victory – 0: 2 over Kiryat Shmona – the assessment is strengthened that the Dutch coach will stand on the lines next season as well. “He is very reminiscent of Vladimir Ivitch, only his success rates are better at the moment,” the champion players claimed.
Van Leven is appreciated not only among the players, and the satisfaction from him also comes from Mitch Goldhaar and the management. “He controls the staff and manages it perfectly: everyone is alert and understands that at any given moment he can play. He knows all the players and it is only natural that he will continue,” the club said.
Apart from Van Levon, the recent success of Maccabi Tel Aviv is also Dor Peretz, who is currently marked as a player of the season and also scored his fifth goal in the league. In the goals of the group.
In addition, Maccabi Tel Aviv’s negotiations to renew the contracts of Enrique Sborit and Daniel Tennenbaum continue, with Eitan Tibi and Sharan Yeni expected to receive an offer for another season. Regarding the stay of Itai Schechter and Rikan, the decision will be made later.
And what about the wounded? Dan Glazer is not expected to return this week and will try to return to the squad for the playoffs and at the moment, fortunately for Maccabi Tel Aviv, he does not need surgical intervention. And may be included in the squad for the cup game against Hapoel Haifa or at the latest in the derby.
Another player who is expected to return to the squad this week is Alexander Peshich, who has trained separately to date. Apart from him, Tal Ben Haim, who missed the game against Kiryat Shmona due to the accumulation of yellows, will return to the squad.
