Recently, Eran Zehavi is considered the hottest player of PSV Eindhoven.
The star of the Israeli national team has scored 12 goals since the beginning of 2021, more than any other player in the Dutch luxury club.
Today (Saturday) a special interview with him was published in "Telharaf", in which he told about the ability he presented at the beginning of the year, an ability that drew harsh criticism against him from the local media.
"It was one of the hardest times of my career," said Zehavi. "I came to PSV with a lot of expectations and thought I would conquer here a lot. At least at first, it did not go as I had hoped. I started to doubt myself. I tried to analyze my mistakes and started thinking too much. "I put more pressure on myself than anyone else, even more than the media."
On dealing with a new country and getting into a situation he does not know after successful years in China, he added: "I lost it. Mentally, I started blaming myself for everything. I felt guilty that I was not conquering and not playing well. I am very hard on myself. Even when I "I play well, I always feel I can contribute more. Even when I got stuck in Corona I wondered about myself, even though I could not do anything about it."
The Israeli added: "Ultimately, we all want to feel successful at any given moment. As a footballer, you want to conquer as much as possible. Yes, I probably have an obsession with it. I have been obsessed with it for years. It is what keeps me at the peak of fitness and high levels."
