Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Ironi Kiryat Shmona 1:3 (Sport1)

Along with a great feeling of satisfaction in Maccabi Tel Aviv for starting an excellent season with a hundred percent success with a goal ratio of 1:14, the team expressed this morning (Sunday) an aspiration to strengthen the front as soon as possible.

The expulsion of George Jovanovich last night in the 1:3 victory over Kiryat Shmona, leaves the team with one striker in the squad, Eran Zahavi, for the match against MS.

Ashdod on Saturday.

The young striker Dor Turgeman is doing his training these days and it is doubtful that he will be released for training this week, so that the maximum efforts in the team will be spent in the coming days to come to an agreement with a foreign striker who will come at the expense of Stipe Fritza and also with Yonatan Cohen.

Although the team scored an average of almost five goals per game, coach Vladan Ivic is pushing for the addition of two front players so that he can also introduce fresh legs during the games.

Ivic arrived last night loaded for the press conference after the match.

Already after the game in a television interview, he made it clear that everyone could be satisfied with the victory except him.

The Serbian talked about problems in the defensive game and in the press conference he continued on the same line and even raised the tone: "We have to improve many things in our game and work in both directions of the field in the same way. We can't only play with the ball at our feet. It is true that we scored 14 goals and conceded one in three games , but if we think about our future, we need to understand what our problems are and start working to fix it. I don't want them to punish us in the future for what we do wrong."

Ivic continued: "We have problems. Maybe they will say I'm crazy for bringing it up when we score 14 goals, but I also know and see things differently. We won't win in the future if we don't work much better. If I don't know how to fix it, that's my problem ".

Ivić also made it clear that he has no intention of relaxing this week: "I'm paid to get the most out of this team and to get the best out of all of us. If they don't follow my instructions, they won't play."

The Serbian also said: "Maybe other coaches would have reacted differently from me. I see that something bad is coming, and I don't want to get there. In order not to get there, we need to react now. Sometimes a 0:1 victory can satisfy me from a 0 victory :6. It depends on how much we work on the game. My team heard from me before the game that we wouldn't look good and I knew that would happen. We will now work on other things."

Regarding Ivić's words, an official at Maccabi Tel Aviv said: "It is excellent that Ivić is warning now. When should he warn? After we lose points. It is very good that he is angry. Let him speak now and see also in the games that we win the negative points. If he already sees how we are We don't win in Ashdod, he needs to talk about it now and that's what he did."

It hurts him that they play on Saturday.

Gabi Kanikovski, who scored a brace and excelled in the game, said: "It hurts me to play on Saturday. It's on my mind, but I have to be a professional. Every player has problems of one kind or another and he has to put them aside."

Regarding Ivić's words, Kanikowski said: "We work all week on something specific and when a coach sees that we are not implementing it, it hurts him. It is important that we improve it."

About Parfa Giagon and the competition for a place in the midfield, he said: "This season Maccabi Tel Aviv has no ego and Ivić works for it in a crazy way. The dressing room is amazing. Everyone cheers everyone on big. Everyone pushes the other even if everyone wants to play. Last week I was on The bench and today Parfa started on the bench."

About Eran Zahavi, Kanikovski said: "His presence adds to us and makes everyone go all the way. It's a privilege to be with Eran Zahavi in ​​the same team. In every training session to be with him or Nir Biton, it's a great thing. You can see it on the field in my opinion."
