Maccabi Tel Aviv Celebrates Dominant Derby Win, Praises Attacking Prowess
Maccabi Tel Aviv is basking in the glow of a resounding 4-1 victory over rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv in the city derby. The team's offensive performance has drawn significant praise, with club sources calling it "one of the best attacking units seen here in recent years." The team has scored an impressive 16 goals in their last four matches, a tally that could have been even higher, according to club officials. This impressive run includes victories against strong opponents like Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the derby win, and Maccabi Haifa.
Key players are receiving particular commendation. Gabi Kanyukovsky, in only his second game back since returning from Ferencváros, delivered another stellar performance in midfield, with the club noting, "It's as if he never left" and declaring him "the boss of the team."
Noam Ben Harush has also impressed at left-back. His strong play has led the club to abandon plans to sign another player for that position, especially with other options like Shahar Rosen and Dani Gropper, who has returned from a long-term injury. "Noam went through a difficult period," a club source stated, "Not many would have bet on him filling Roy Revivo's shoes and doing such a good job."
The attacking unit as a whole is being lauded.球员 Maor Davida is in excellent form, Dean Heliv and Eran Zahavi are showcasing peak performance, and substitute Elad Madmon contributed a goal and an assist after coming off the bench. "He doesn't always get the minutes he deserves, and he could star on another team, but every time he's needed, he's there," the club said of the young forward.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's immediate goal before the international break is to secure a perfect record of 15 points from a possible 15 by defeating Maccabi Netanya on Saturday.
