Patrick Van Leven's journey of success continues.
Since the Dutchman was appointed coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv, the Yellows already have a 93.3% success rate, achieving 28 out of 30 possible points, but the team knows that the ability they displayed against KPS will not be enough against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Apart from Yonatan Cohen, who is expected to miss the game on Thursday after being injured in the warm-up yesterday and suffering from a hamstring strain, when it could be a tear that will cause him to be absent for several weeks, it seems that midfielder Eyal Golsa will also miss the important game in the Europa League. The injury from which he is suffering from an ankle.
But despite the injuries and clear level gaps in favor of the Ukrainian team, the champion ranks convey confidence ahead of the game and said: "We are Maccabi Tel Aviv, we do not give up and do not give up, neither against Shakhtar nor against any other team.
We will try to surprise them. "
Maccabi complimented the pair of attacking players Tal Ben Haim (cooking) and Alexander Peshich (goal), who continue in their good time, but also Dan Bitton, who provided successful dedication and shows good ability in both games, received compliments as well as stopper Luis Hernandez, who thrives under Van Leven.
Meanwhile, attacking player Ayalon Almog is very disappointed that he was not included in the squad for two games in a row.
"Ayalon did good training this week and he does not understand why he is not allowed to at least be on the squad?"
