Summary of the victory of Maccabi Tel Aviv 1:3 over Maccabi Jaffa in the round of 16 of the State Cup/Sport1
In the first half yesterday against Maccabi Jaffa, which was very bad as far as Maccabi Tel Aviv was concerned, Osher Davida or "Dave" as Robbie Keen calls him ("he told me in the first training that he had to have a short name"), was one of the few who played at a high level.
He also scored the temporary equalizing goal for Dor Turgeman and David David in a good time.
"I feel positive momentum lately. I'm getting up and doing good things and Robbie believes in me more," he said last night.
A game developed against Jaffa that you didn't expect
"Until the penalty, we felt good. They didn't cross the middle and then the first time they came to us in the box, we made a penalty. This accompanied us in quite a few games where we conceded first and we managed to fix it, but it happened to us again against Jaffa. After the penalty We weren't in the game for about 7 minutes. Fortunately, we equalized because otherwise we would have been in trouble. I'm happy that Eran came in, scored and we won."
A lot of players got a chance.
Why didn't you pounce on every ball?
How come you didn't wash the pitch?
"Until the penalty and also at the end, we were there with good ability. Do not forget that it is not easy for players who are not playing to come and be in good playing shape. We need all players in good shape. I hope that we will improve our defensive game so that we do not concede first."

You also need to improve your goal scoring.
"We work hard in training. We also scored a five against Maccabi Netanya not long ago."
Where do you prefer to play?
"I prefer the right side, but lately I've been doing well on the left side as well."
You left Maccabi Tel Aviv at the age of 15. Did you think you would come back with a purchase?
"I didn't think about it and I didn't rule it out. I'm glad it turned out that way."
You went to Belgium and came back quite quickly.
"It wasn't easy to return to Israel after I had already left. I left because we played there without wings and the coach even told me he was sorry he wasn't letting me. It was a difficult decision."
More in Walla!

"A traitor? I wanted to move forward|/Ariel Shalom
There were many games in Maccabi Tel Aviv that I hardly participated in.
"Obviously I want and I wanted to play in every game, but Maccabi Tel Aviv is a big club and the competition is tough."
You absorb quite a bit from Hapoel Tel Aviv fans who are angry that you returned to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
They call you a traitor.
"I can understand that they are angry with me, but football is my profession and I wanted to advance. Maccabi Tel Aviv has bigger ambitions and she showed me that she wants me. I made the decision and I arrived."
