Maccabi Tel Aviv’s Dutch boss, Peter Bosz took a look back at his side’s 3:2 win over Beitar Jerusalem on Matchday 30 of the WINNER League’s Championship Playoffs. The victory moved his team into first place, a position that he has not been in since taking over the club. He spoke about Eran Zahavi, the match and the many opportunities his side has over the course of 90 minutes:

“We created so many chances and we had a great game. The three points are important and I’m so happy for the guys as they worked so hard tonight and deserved the win.”

About Eran Zahavi:

“The goals speak for themselves. He was unlucky in the first half and he could’ve scored 3-4 more times but he had the quality and he ultimately did the job.”

Where Zahavi would be should he have been in Holland:

“In Holland, Zahavi would be on the National team and he may be on a big team in Europe. I’m not sure how he would’ve developed though I do know he’s a great goal scorer. He not only scored a brace this evening but he created a number of chances as well and that’s something only the greats can do.”

On moving into first place:

“This first place isn’t that important. It’s only after the 36th Matchday that it’s important. It certainly gives up confidence to be in first though, but there’s still a long way to go.”

Beitar scoring two goals:

“They had two chances all game and they scored two times. It’s very efficient and it’s quality, but everyone believes that we deserved to win with the amount of chances we had.”
