The exits that Avi Luzon has made in recent years have yielded Maccabi Petah Tikva an unimaginable sum of about 10 million euros. A, there is no question at all here, and the answer is unequivocal - Arad Bar.
Last season, the 21-year-old midfielder became a regular player for coach Guy Luzon, who at the end of the season even let him wear the captain's armband in the game against Bnei Sakhnin.
2,480 minutes of play placed Bar as the third field player on the team in this category, and Avi Luzon has already stated that in his opinion Bar should only move to the Bundesliga.
But the German exit dream can currently be put aside, because at the moment the connection is only concentrated on the upcoming Malabus season.
"Last year was my first season in the Premier League," Barr said in a special interview with Israel Today.
"Before that I was in the youth and nationally, and for every such period of my career I needed time to adjust. This year I feel more mature, with more confidence. I also have more desire to prove. I want to lead the team and not settle for being in the squad. It will be difficult to replicate the achievement. From last season (top playoff and touch from Europe, SA).
We are building a good team.
At the moment it is not completely closed, it lacks a bit of chemistry, but I believe we will be an equally strong team. "

"Confident in my abilities" // Udi quote,
You left with players who scored a lot of goals, like Abda and Baribo. Are you not afraid of falling?
"It's true, and others will have to score in their place, maybe me too. Our goal is to give a fight to the big teams, and of course get to the top playoffs. We want to be a convincing team, leave a mark in the league, not be looked at as a seasoned team and that's it."
Were you surprised by Abda's move to Celtic?
"On the one hand, I was in the market, but on the other hand, it was clear to me that it would come sometime. Liel and I, together with the youth, deserve the most in the world to succeed. He is a star."
Does it motivate you to see that Maccabi Petah Tikva brings a lot of players to Europe?
"My situation is different from that of the players who left, because they are attacking players who score goals. It is much easier to market them than a midfielder with two or three goals at best. I believe I too will make the leap to Europe someday. Reaching crazy places. "
"Petah Tikva threw me into the water"
Solomon's moves to Shakhtar and Abda's move to Celtic are part of the club's clear strategy - improving and selling young players.
"This method gives the club a right to exist, and there is no reason why it will not succeed in the future," says Bar, who grew up in Maccabi Tel Aviv, but at the age of 15 decided to leave and move to a place that would give him the stage.

Important campaign in the young team // Udi Citation,
"There was a season where I was injured for about six months. Then there was a reunion between the teams of Maccabi South and Maccabi North. I came back from the injury and was not allowed to play, and there was also some Maccabi project I had to go to boarding school. Socially I did not have the best. Looking for the next destination, "the contact recalled," I'm really not sorry I left, it was the best decision of my career. I see what happens to the youth players of Maccabi Tel Aviv: they get lost, go out to questions, do not really believe in them.
"In Petah Tikva, I was thrown into the water at the age of 19, which is not a trivial matter. At first I had some difficulty adjusting, but I am happy with this decision."
At the age of 15 she is almost forced to retire.
"At that age I did a 10-inch jump a year. The problem I suffered was called Ozlock Shelter - the body grows too fast, the muscles do not synchronize, and the tendons are not long enough. The result is insane knee pain. The legs were thin and weak, I could not run, had difficulty walking, and period This one I thought I should retire.I did not see the end.The friends are happy and happy, but you on the side died of pain.
"Football was my drug since childhood. I did not want to see myself engaging in anything else, and that is what gave me the hope and strength to keep going. It happened to me at a troubled age, an age where everyone does things. I fought every day, I rode the train from north Tel Aviv to some gym Sucks in Kiryat Shalom to get stronger.
In hindsight I realized I had insane mental resilience.
All of this has helped me build my personality and character - and that's a very important part of my career. "

The New Hope in Blue // Udi Quote,
You talked about Maccabi Tel Aviv. Do you think you have a place with them or one of the big ones?
"A difficult question. I'm confident in my abilities and that I could fit into one of the big ones. I do not know if I was always in the squad, but yes I would become significant. Playing in such teams is different than in a small team, because there you are more attacking and less defensive. This year Maccabi Petah Tikva and I will present good and stable ability - next season I will be ready for a leap in Israel or abroad.
What kind of coach is Guy Luzon?
"If necessary he will scream at you and run you in training, but he also speaks, directs and gives advice. It's beautiful to me. It's important to him that the team always looks and acts like a team, that everyone knows their role. I really appreciate him for giving me the credit from the youth "Guy changed my role and moved me to the center of the field. At first I was disappointed, but today I understand that it only made me good for my career."

What about the senior team?
"We now have a very important campaign for the youngster, but it's clearly a dream. Today there are excellent players in my position, like Dor Peretz and Beavers Natcho, so I will have a hard time getting there. I estimate that at the right time the summons will come too. I will work hard to make it happen."
