Maccabi Tel Aviv Coach Believes Team Could Have Won Seven Games

Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Kenny Miller expressed satisfaction with his team's performance despite two consecutive draws, stating they are in an excellent position. He highlighted that the team navigated a difficult early season schedule without a loss in seven games, a feat he finds very encouraging given their play. Miller believes the team could have secured seven wins by now, lamenting missed scoring opportunities in recent matches, particularly the five to six clear chances in the previous game. He emphasized the need to continue practicing finishing to convert these chances.

Miller praised player Noam Ben Harush, calling one of his assists this season the best and noting his strong connection with Helio Varela, comparable to Roy Revivo's link with Varela. He sees Ben Harush as a quality left-back, capable of playing there even with the addition of James Tavernier. Miller is pleased with the developing team dynamics.

Looking ahead to their upcoming match against Hapoel Haifa, Miller acknowledged them as a good team with threats from long shots and counter-attacks. However, he stated Maccabi Tel Aviv will focus on their own game and challenge their opponents. He is satisfied with the team's deep squad and the trust between the players and coaching staff.

Defender Raz Shlomo echoed the sentiment about creating chances, noting that while reducing goals conceded is important, scoring is also crucial. He believes more sharpness in front of goal would have led to more wins. Shlomo feels he is in good form and aims to maintain it, focusing on consistent performance rather than long-term goals. He also discussed the upcoming challenge of facing experienced striker Alon Turgeman, stating the team will prepare by analyzing his strengths and weaknesses.
