Summary: Maccabi Netanya - Maccabi Haifa 2:0 (Sport1)
On Thursday, Charon Sherry sat down in Maccabi Haifa's press conference room in Kfar Galim and when asked how much he likes the season's games, he replied: "I don't know if I was born for it, but I like big games with a little more pressure. In games like this I play a little better ".
Sherry was not just asked about season games, nor did he just react the way he did.
The Dutch-Surinamese midfielder, who many in the club already crown as the greatest foreigner to have played at the club (or at least one of the three greatest), manages to raise the level even more when he meets big teams in front of him.
In Europe, he was one of the reasons for advancing to the group stage of the Champions League, where he scored two goals and assisted one more, and in the league he has long been the player of the greens in money time.

Considered in the green locker room to be one of the three most prominent leaders.
If nothing dramatic happens, in the coming weeks he is also expected to be appointed the permanent captain, after Nate Lavi completes his move to Japan.
And it's no coincidence that as on the field, Sherry is also a man for special tasks.
When the players felt they deserved higher grants following the achievements in Europe, the Dutchman together with Lavi approached the management and the matter was resolved in less than half an hour.
Even in games, when it seems that the team is not doing well, Sherry is the first to try to lift up his teammates.
"Charon is a born leader," states one of his teammates, "he is always a very significant player for us, but in big games he even raises the level."

The statistical line also proves that Sherry likes big games and waits for them.
The Dutchman scored against Vitesse Arnhem the most goals in his career (7) but beyond her Maccabi Tel Aviv, the biggest rival of the greens, is the team that suffered the most from his leg or head and conceded 5 goals.
Hapoel Tel Aviv also scored 5 goals from Shari and the next in line are Hapoel Beer Sheva and Beitar Jerusalem with 4 each. When there is a crowd and the opponent is from a big club (even if not a big team at the moment), the relationship flourishes.
Also tonight against Hapoel Beer Sheva (Sunday, 20:30) Sherry will try to lead the Greens to victory in a big game, when a win will increase the gap at the top to 6 points. "Sherry is a serious force," admitted one of his teammates, "the whole team needs to improve, but Sherry really in these games is a significant X-factor ".
