Three weeks after joining Maccabi Tel Aviv, Yuris van Aubrey, who arrived in Kiryat Shalom from Utrecht from the senior Dutch league, speaks for the first time.
During the training camp in Mirlo, the 28-year-old Jewish midfielder took the time to tell the Yellows' official website about the reasons that led him to choose Maccabi, and about his impression of Ivica's team.
"I knew Maccabi and I knew before I joined that it always competes for the championship and that it is the biggest club in Israel," Van O'Brien explained. "They always compete in European factories. "Eran Zehavi and Eli Dassah. There is no doubt that Zehavi is one of the greats."

On adapting to Israel: "The group members were nice to me from day one, shared with me information about Tel Aviv. We started the season at training camp and it helped me a lot to connect with the new friends. I plan to take some Hebrew lessons. My friend really likes the city. The beach here is nice. The weather is great and there are good restaurants here. "
On working on the grass: "I'm a midfielder who plays with a lot of energy. I like to hold the ball and always try to put pressure on the opponent. I can play in several positions, depending on what the coach expects of me."
