Eran Zahavi who scored his 7th league goal this season and ninth in all competitions said at the end of the 5-0 victory over Hapoel Hadera at Bloomfield. Despite the convincing victory, the veteran marksman insisted: “It wasn’t easy. Of course when you score in the opening minute it helps but they were other matches when we took our foot off the pedal, and that influenced the game differently. We showed up and were prepared from the first season until the last as in my opinion we had a very good game as a team. We should keep on doing exactly that in the future”.

Zahavi who scored goals in Maccabi’s final two matches added: “Sometimes the balls just go in easier and sometimes it takes more time. I feel much better both physically and mentally, and we are all playing better football. It is fun when everyone joins in the celebrations. I am here to help the team, sometime I score, sometimes I give an assist and sometimes I just help the team”.
