The former striker was a guest on Saara BaMalka, talking about Zahavi's room affair ("When you're Messi you'll get a room by yourself. With all his exiles, we didn't even get to second place") - and that's not all

Alon Mizrahi was a guest in "Saara Bam Malka" and provided, as usual, the goods.

The Israeli league's top scorer of all time referred to his rise to the senior ranks, the legendary team of Maccabi Haifa, the relationship with Shlomo Sharaf and, of course, Eran Zahavi as well.



"One of the things that made me become Israel's top scorer is the hunger to score goals," said Mizrahi about his character.

"I'll give you an example - Ronaldo, who fights all the media that it's his goal. It's the nature of a scorer. If your team wins and you don't score, you're a little sad. A striker has to be egotistical by nature, there's no striker who isn't egotistical. I remember each and every goal I scored ".



On the differences of opinion with Shlomo Sharaf in the Israeli national team, he said: "I had quite an argument with Shlomo Sharaf, Shlomo didn't like all the earrings, the scattered hair. I played for Maccabi Haifa with the earring and it caused me not to be in the national team for about a year, and then Ronan Harazi took the place His - because I wasn't there and he was good. Then, when Shlomo summoned me and I agreed to take off the earring, a fight was already close. I wasn't angry with Shlomo, I was determined and wanted to keep the earring. Shlomo couldn't train today, he would throw everyone home, All with tattoos and earrings."



Aviron was asked if anyone from the current Israeli national team had a place in the lineup of the great Israeli national team of 1999 and replied: "Eran Zahavi is a great player, there is no debate at all, but in our time there were ten Zahavis, and this is without prejudice, there were four players for each slot. When you come and say that, they say I'm jealous. But it's the truth. He fell at a time when there were no strikers. We had stars one by one, there were games I didn't start, Ohana sometimes didn't play, Ronnie Rosenthal sat on the bench. There was a very tough competition for everyone slot. Eran Zahavi became a machine, I really enjoyed watching him. When I would say that he is not good as a commentator, they looked at me as if I had fallen from the moon. What do I have to envy him? He is a great player, I really appreciate him, but I think there were many like him in our time. I have the right to say that."

"A striker should be egoistic by nature, there is no striker who is not egoistic."

Regarding Zahavi's insistence on getting a room by himself, which led to his leaving the national team, the former striker said: "Certainly he made a mistake. As soon as there is a professional manager for the team and a coach, and they have their work plan, you must line up with them. Even the great Messi does not have a room by himself Ronaldo was with Pepe. When you're Messi, you'll also have a room by yourself. Eran got a little confused, he had good years in the Israeli team, but for 30 years we've been in the European framework, Eran, with all his goals, didn't even bring us to second place. He scored goals Nice, but we didn't get anywhere with these goals. The team needs fresh players. We see that the team is successful now, without Eran Zahavi. For me, this insistence was a mistake. Sometimes this ego makes you lose a lot of things. I will applaud him if he passes me in the Israeli league , I promise you that if he does that, wherever Maccabi Tel Aviv plays, I will come. As soon as he reaches my numbers in the league, I will cheer him on."
