Nikola Mitrovic and Dor Peretz answered fans' questions during a live chat session on the club's Facebook page
This evening the Maccabi Tel Aviv squad returned to practice ahead of Monday night's match at Ironi Kiryat Shmona. But before they did, two of this season's outstanding performers, Nikola Mitrovic and Dor Peretz, came into the studio at the Kiryat Shalom training ground to participate in a live chat session with Maccabi fans on the club's official Facebook page. The Serbian defender and the young international fielded hundreds of questions from curious team supporters, some of them addressed to both players, like their favourite player (Mitro – Juventus' Andrea Pirlo, Peretz – Liverpool's Steven Gerrard), some of them to each footballer individually. Mitrovic admitted he's very fond of the special song Maccabi fans sing on his behalf. He also revealed that Bloomfield Stadium announcer Shay Sidi told him he's preparing a special celebration of Nikola's next goal: "I hope it comes sooner than later" was the defender's reaction. Dor Peretz was particularly keen to express his gratitude to the more senior players on the squad for helping to boost his confidence. But at the end of the session both players were united in showing their appreciation to all the fantastic Maccabi Tel Aviv fans who had responded to the invitation on Facebook: "We'd like to thank all of you for taking the time out to chat with us, and for all the support you've shown to us and the whole team this season. We're sorry we didn't have time to answer all your questions, but we look forward to seeing you all at all our matches throughout the season".
