Over the past few years, Maccabi Tel Aviv has been bringing foreign players to its youth team with great potential, but none of them have really managed to fit into the senior team. Eduardo Guerrero, 21, has followed the same path, experienced difficulties and played little this season, Became the hottest man of the Yellows with three super-critical goals.
Gerro already has 5 league goals this season in the leading uniform in just 10 appearances, with 7 of them coming off the bench.
For comparison, all last season, when he played for Betar Tel Aviv Bat Yam, he had 6 goals.
Maccabi is convinced that if Guerrero continues at this pace of development, they will gain a player for many years "who can become a star," similar to the route that Jonathan Cohen and Dan Glazer went through.
Patrick van Leven, the Yellows' coach, was the man who brought Guerrero to Maccabi, when he was the professional director of the youth department and he says: "We invited some players to a training camp in Bulgaria of the youth team, we saw him, and we did everything we could to get him to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
We saw Eduardo's potential at the time, we still recognize and see the potential but also know that he has a lot of work to do and he shows that he is ready to work hard. "
In the last two years Guerrero did not see his family because of the whole situation with the corona virus and one of the players who supported him throughout the period is goalkeeper Daniel Tennenbaum who said last night: "I also came to Maccabi at a young age and it is not easy to be without family and without anyone but the team is very supportive and helpful. "That we can get along and be quiet. Eduardo has been here for two years and has not seen his family. I have not seen my family for a long time either, I do not remember when I last saw my sisters, and it is not easy."
Tennenbaum added: "Guerrero deserves to succeed. I know how hard he works in training and how he is at home and you see the result on the field. The goal he scored was really nice and congratulations to him that he manages to help the team like that. Once he kicked the ball I knew it would be a goal."
But despite the celebrations, discipline is discipline, and coach Patrick Van Leven intends to fine Guerrero and also Alexander Peshich, because they took off shirts at the goal celebrations and received a yellow card.
Van Leven explained: "It's neither smart nor professional. I will not accept such things and that is not what I want to see from my players. They will bring money and compensate the team at dinner."
