Four months after landing at PSV Eindhoven, Eran Zehavi finally exploded with a great duo in his team’s 2-2 draw with Ajax. His agent Ronen Katsav, who accompanied the striker even in the less difficult periods, was interviewed by “Five in the Air” and told of the wonderful feelings: “There is no one close to him who is not happy with the two expatriates. I hoped he would win, but his hair returned to score very happy.” “Because he’s his own biggest critic and every game he doesn’t score he makes me movies and dramas, and that’s why he’s such a winner.”
“If you look at the whole period,” Katsav continued. “He scored five goals, cooked three and brought them home in Europe, so if you consider that he fell ill in Corona and did not do a training camp with them, it straightens out. He was not in the squad only during periods when he was ill and needed time to recover. I can say that a week before Ajax they did tests and exams after the break, and 33-year-old Eran Zehavi finished third in a team with a lot of young people, so that means he is there all the time. All over the world, when a coach brings a player he believes in him, and one or two games do not change “That. One of the reasons we came to PSV is because of the coach.”
Regarding the media reviews, the agent was not really excited: “We know that in recent years there is a huge competition between the media and they are more than once, every two hours should make a headline. I have no problem with reviews and people think differently than me, my problem is copying headlines from the Netherlands. Not a press, it’s gossip. A local newspaper wrote something and posted on all the top sites. One site even quoted a fan from Facebook. I’m also working on it with Eran, and we’re ready for it and everything’s fine. Just asking for some fairness in the approach. I know the reviews are not always interest free. To deal with what is important and not what is not. “
And what about the output of the gates? The agent surprised: “I think in the Chinese league it is harder to score than in the Netherlands, because in China he only played with Dia Seba and everyone around him was Chinese. PSV is a team that gets into a lot more situations, and he needs to find his prominence. We saw bigger players in China A player who did not score 20% of his goals. “
In terms of pace, no shift on the part of Zahavi is expected in the transfer window. “We did not come to Eindhoven to leave. Naturally, whenever it is less good, they will link him back to Maccabi. He came here to try to succeed, and he is building a path here. Maccabi did not make any application, and even if it did, the player is under contract. Zehavi “He came thanks to the coach who believes he will be a key striker, in a team that is fighting for the championship with Ajax. No one has come to get up and give up. Nothing should happen in the next month, you see a situation where PSV tells Eran to go? I do not understand these questions.” .
Regarding the other legionnaires he represents, Omar Atzili, Ben Shehar and Dor Micha, Katsav said: “I believe that within a day or two we will know where Atzili will play. When there is something to announce we will announce. Apoel a team that builds its budget each year based on going up in Europe. It happens it crashes and every year it’s the same story. It was also the stage that Omar told me, especially after the case was closed, ‘I do not want to be in a place that does not pay me and do not deal with football. It’s a bit like what Eran went through, he is already with a third coach there “But when a player scores goals, the possibility of being released is dropped from the episode, and vice versa. Micha gets credit for a team that is fighting for a championship and is not expected to leave.”
The agent was also asked about Noble’s apparent return to Israeli football alongside the juvenile affair, and has a full stomach on the issue: “I do not take responsibility from the players who too easily went to the girls who approached them on Instagram. You have to be responsible for yourself, probably Omar with his wife, and understand “The implications are that as a footballer, it’s better to stay away from these places. I have a full stomach for a lot of things that happen here, and the sentence that everyone does for them here.”
“I’m not angry with Mitch Goldhaar,” Katsav commented on Maccabi Tel Aviv’s decision to release the two. “This is his team and he can decide what he wants. I would decide otherwise. As a patty, when my soldiers were in distress I first of all supported them. It is not acceptable for me that guys who came out innocent, in the cleanest way possible, people still say they should ask “Sorry. Would you apologize to someone who lied to you?”
“There’s an element of education here,” the agent explained. “We have a desire for both boys and girls to learn from this. There is no need to send a message that IDs can be forged, go to alumni parties, lie about age, take pictures and distribute photos and at the end they will apologize to you. Is that the message they want to convey? We apologize. “
And what if groups in the country ask nobles to apologize? “We have no return conditions anywhere, there is a desire to move on. People forget that they took responsibility and said what they said. They did not apologize and do not intend to apologize to girls who deceived them. If my daughter did such a thing I would take responsibility, and not pass it on to others. “Noble and Micha are wrong and need to take responsibility and for people to learn how not to work in networks. I am also a young guy and receive obscene offers all day on Instagram, it is very easy to fall and the network is a very, very dangerous place. You have to take responsibility and convey a message.”
Katsav also referred to reports linking Manor Solomon to Arsenal: “I think the bigger transfers will happen in the summer, because January is always corrections. Secondly, the corona is affecting, and things will be clearer in the summer than now. I don’t see him passing now, but anything can happen.”
Ariel Harush returned last week for a second term in the Netherlands, when he signed for Heerenveen, and Katsav said of the move: “He was excellent at Sparta Rotterdam, and stayed with them in the league but did not stay due to matters with Jose and BS. It rolled into a situation where the door closed and he moved to Slovenia to play a few games, and it was clear that something had been found for him in January. Now he has another chance in a good league that suits him. The team is important to him and we hope to be the first goalkeeper in the team and in the team. “
Another representative of Katsav, Dia Seba, is making a name for himself in the Emirates, and it is not inconceivable that he will open a door for other Israeli footballers in the Gulf: “He is doing well. It is true that the numbers are lower, but he is in a slightly more backward position. And he does us an excellent service and in the committees that will have more Israelis there, I imagine that already this summer. “
Finally, Katsav made it clear that for him, the songs that Noble sang against Maccabi Haifa should not be a problem: “Personally, I really like the rivalries and songs between the teams. It is most natural in the world for a player to celebrate singing with the fans after a victory. “Terrorism because of the color green. Let’s enjoy the football we so miss, and I wish the fan songs would be our problem.”
