The yellow locomotive does not stop.
Cup or league, missing staff or full staff, Maccabi Tel Aviv continues to win game after game, no matter what the situation, and yesterday it qualified for the quarterfinals of the cup, which it fantasizes about swinging for the first time since 2015.
"We were able to lead 5-1 in the first half," said coach Patrick van Leven, who did not hide his disappointment that the team did not do so and got a little entangled in the closing minutes.
The Dutchman also explained that he took out Riken, Hozaz and Davidzada in order to give them a rest ahead of the derby.
Captain Sharan Yeni excelled but the hero of the game was again Daniel Tennenbaum with two "crazy saves", as his friends complimented him, who are convinced that from the moment he gets the permit to play for the Israeli team, in August, after completing five years in the country, he will become the team's first goalkeeper.
"There is no goalkeeper who approaches Tenenbaum's level," said Maccabi.
Tennenbaum himself said: "The rescue in the first half was really hard and if we were to absorb it was 2: 2 and it was a completely different story. The first rescue was harder than the one at the end of the game but the second rescue was more important. I like to finish the game as fast as possible. 3 or 4 and go home happy, but it turned out that I helped the group. "
The goalkeeper concluded: "We could have finished the game long before, but the main thing we passed a stage. Our goal this year in the cup is to reach the final. We have a derby now, hope some more fans can get to the derby, going to be a tough game."
And what is happening in the wounded sector?
Maccabi will hope that at least one of the injured Dan Glazer, Andre Geralds and Enrique Seborit, will be fit for the derby, but the chances are not high.
