Maccabi Tel Aviv captain Sheran Yeini was one of several players who visited Safra Children’s Hospital at Tel Hashomer on Wednesday where they brought ailing kids good wishes and gifts for Hanukkah. He talked about his own recovery from injury and the club’s form this season.
“There are patients here with difficult injuries and ailments and they will need a long period of recovery. They enjoy welcoming us but we also feel good about being able to make them smile a little,” Yeini said.
He talked about his own injury and said: “I had a muscle injury that required a long period of recovery, I then came back but re-injured myself. These things happen sometimes but it has required mental toughness to deal with the situation, so I’m really excited about getting back into action.
“It’s good to see that the team have managed without me and now there will be tough competition for places but I’m sure that we will all benefit from the rivalry.”
Yeini said that the past two draws would cause the players to pick up the pace and strive for better results.
“Maccabi are a good enough club to be able to deal with two consecutive draws. It’s not easy when we don’t achieve our aims but we are competitive and we know that even a draw will make us hungry for better results.”
