Gear changer: On the comeback of Yonatan Cohen at Maccabi Tel Aviv
The answer to his and Blackman's exchange festival, the silence of critics and the dwindling European hourglass: Jonathan Cohen enjoys the chemistry with Peshich and Donis' trust, but the real challenge still lies ahead.
Against Karabakh (Thursday, 19:55, Sport2) he will be able to take a big step towards him

The 0: 3 summary of Maccabi Tel Aviv over Hapoel Kfar Saba (Sport 1)
A big smile was smeared on Yonatan Cohen's face when he went down for a substitution in the 81st minute against Hapoel Kfar Saba yesterday (Sunday).
It was not the goal he scored with a touchdown and the pair of cooks for Alexander Peshich and Dan Bitton that made him have fun out of the game.
The smile that knocked was towards Nick Blackman who was about to enter his place.
A week earlier, in the same exchange against Hapoel Hadera, it was not entirely clear whether he was shaking hands with Blackman, and an entire festival began on social media by Maccabi Tel Aviv fans.
One of the sports sites was quick to announce that no handshake was recorded, but later it was clear that there was one and it was simply not captured by the cameras.
Cohen went down smiling at Blackman so far from the difficult incident that occurred between them during the game against Maccabi Petah Tikva in the first round.
Cohen did not like then that Blackman takes the penalty, after he was the regular penalist last season and when Blackman missed and Maccabi Tel Aviv also lost, the grass events also slipped into an unusual confrontation between them in the locker room area.

Return the deterrent effect: Maccabi Tel Aviv is once again overrun and efficient

"He will still cook for him a lot."

Maccabi Tel Aviv is still far from where it wants to be in the Premier League, but this week's convincing victory over Hapoel Kfar Saba is a sign that it is in the right direction.
Cohen was in this game Jonathan Cohen that Maccabi Tel Aviv needs and that its fans want to see.
His stats have already stabilized at three goals and three assists, and that’s a division he likes.
Although his critics talk about a player who is looking for his personal goal first, Cohen had double-digit numbers last season both in conquests and in cooking, which shows that despite what is said about him quite a bit, he actually knows how to prepare a lot of situations for friends.
His connection with Peshich is already very prominent and people around him say that there is a special chemistry and affection there.
"June will still cook a lot for Alex," Maccabi Tel Aviv promises.
When he scored this week with a shot from a Dan Bitton corner kick, he chose to celebrate with a silence movement.
The finger was on the mouth and the direction was pretty clear.
"Although he is one who knows how to concentrate and not pay attention to everything that has been said, it is clear that he took to heart quite a few of the criticisms against him," says a player at Maccabi Tel Aviv.
"Today you do not wait for this morning's newspaper to see what will be written about you. In recent years and especially in the last year, everyone has the opportunity to write and express an opinion on Twitter or Instagram. In a talkback or post and things fly in all directions especially one like Jonathan Cohen who is on social networks and follows what is written About him. "

Jonathan Cohen hoped and did not hide that this season should be his first season in Europe.
Just as two years ago when Vladan Ivic dried him all summer, he opposed another loan and made it clear that he is no less good because of an attacking Maccabi Tel Aviv player, which he has proven in the last two years, so he was convinced that he should have paved the way for a better league this summer.
He had to deal with this disappointment.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is far from a bad place, the money is excellent and the team is playing in the home stage of the Europa League, but by the end of this season he will already be 25 and the European clock is already starting to push.
"Jonathan Cohen must maintain stability," Eyal Berkovich said of him yesterday on his radio show.
"He has to appear for every game and he has the abilities for that, only he has to be consistent."
He has a great kick, this composure is obvious.
The dribble is also good and even the jab.
Some speed is lacking, but it is doubtful if it will be possible to fix more.
But if he started his way with Georgios Donis without complete trust on the part of the Greek, today it already seems that the Maccabi Tel Aviv coach goes with him and Alexander Peshich and only then chooses the third player for the front that fits that game.
Against Karbah the next day (Thursday, 19:55, Sport2), in a game to be held at Bashkashir Stadium in Istanbul, Cohen will have the opportunity to take Maccabi Tel Aviv to the next stage of the Europa League.
He was once said to be the heir of Eran Zehavi and was marked as the next thing after number 7 retires.
These comparisons did him some harm and may have halted the rapid development, but Cohen did not shy away from these challenges.
Even if he has not yet taken off for the places he wants to land, he is sure convinced that it is only a small delay and he will arrive.
