Elad Madmon, who became Maccabi Tel Aviv's most expensive Israeli player during the Mitch Goldhar era for approximately 2 million euros, is finally poised to prove his worth. Despite limited playing time in his first two seasons, Madmon has remained dedicated, working "like crazy" according to club sources. He is now receiving his chance to establish himself as a starting striker for the team.
Madmon, who scored 12 goals and provided an assist for Hapoel Hadera in his breakout season, has added 6 goals and 3 assists in two seasons with Maccabi Tel Aviv, often coming off the bench. His father, Guy Madmon, noted that while other players might have given up due to lack of opportunities, Elad's patience and belief in himself have been key. "He was coming home with a fallen face," Guy Madmon said, adding that with more minutes and confidence, his son can perform even better.
Despite not being a consistent starter, Madmon did not request a transfer, trusting that his opportunity would come. His agent, Roy Madmon, confirmed discussions with the club about giving him a chance this season. Recent draws for Maccabi Tel Aviv, including a 0-0 tie against Bnei Sakhnin where Madmon played only 17 minutes, prompted coach Kenny Miller to make changes.
Madmon earned his first start of the season against Hapoel Haifa, delivering a goal and an assist in a dominant 6-2 victory. This performance has made it difficult for Miller to return him to the bench. Club sources describe Madmon as a true professional who maintains focus, unlike many young players who might seek transfers. He is now seen as a player ready to make a significant leap forward, potentially leading the team's attack.
