Eran Zehavi Continues to answer the pitch. Quite a few have underestimated over the years his many goals in the Chinese league, so the Israeli national team striker took his skills to the Netherlands and PSV. Eindhoven – and even there he seems unstoppable most of the time. Last night (Thursday) he scored a great double against Olympiacos in the last 32 rematch of the Europa League, which unfortunately was not enough to get the ticket to the quarterfinals.
While at the Gold level group level Nahal was a big disappointment, at the individual level he continued to prove his worth and “turn heads” – and not just those in Israel and the Netherlands. Remember, during the summer break, before signing with PSV. Eindhoven, was a golden candidate to join Fenerbahce and even caused a huge buzz in Turkey after challenging Fener fans to give him half a million “likes” on the social network. Now it turns out that in Turkey he was not forgotten.
Following the pairing to the Olympiacos network, one of the media in Turkey approached Zehavi’s agent, Ronen Katsav, asking for his response to goals that keep coming, and of course the same candidacy that the luxury club from Istanbul had. “In terms of gold, the color, the team, the opponent – it doesn’t matter. He can score 20 goals in each league. He can continue to score on Mars as well. He was born for it and will continue to score those goals,” Katsav told his client.
So why did Zehavi not follow in the footsteps of Haim Revivo and sign with Fenerbahce? The right answer to the rhythm. “Yes, there was interest from Fener, there were talks,” the agent said, adding: “Negotiations have progressed well, but at the last minute they informed us that they are giving up on the contract offer. We must respect them. I do not know exactly what happened behind the scenes. I wish them success”.
Katsav was also asked if Zahavi already has retirement thoughts at the age of 33, and clarified: “In today’s football, well-maintained players can also play at the age of 38-39. You can see Ibrahimovic, Ronaldo, Messi. Zahavi lived a professional life, he had little “He is very worried about his body. That’s why we only think about football. There are no thoughts of retiring in the short term. We will continue to see Zahavi score goals a little more …”
