The good news for Maccabi Tel Aviv from the game against Ajax was that it came to an end. 90 minutes plus extra time of an ongoing nightmare and as much as the Dutch bit into Jerko Laztic’s team, they didn’t seem to have enough. It ended with 0:5 which could have been much worse and that says everything. Bertrand Traore (14) opened the celebration for Ajax and was followed by Kenneth Taylor (27), Meka Godetz (39), Brian Roby (61) and Kian Peach Jim (69) who completed a smooth victory.
This is not the most talented Ajax team in recent years and still what is there was enough to end the game in defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv. What is more serious for Laztic, is the fact that this is a third loss in a row in all frames. These are not only the results but the problems that are only getting deeper and deeper. In some positions, Laztic lacks quality, mainly on the wings (perhaps with the exception of Osher Davida), in the right back position and at these levels the center of defense also feels too soft.
In addition, seeing Eran Zahavi warming up for long minutes and entering the last minutes in a situation of 0:5, made every yellow fan move uncomfortably. Peni Zahavi as the face of Maccabi Tel Aviv. Between the loss of advice about the situation with the feeling that there is not much that can be done about it. The obvious thing is a victory, preferably already in the league game against Bnei Sakhnin on Sunday, otherwise the yellow snowball will roll faster down the slope. Maybe Laztic should give up the Europa League, because promotion to the next level probably won’t be there, and maybe it’s better to improve positions in the league, where the differences between the teams are still in her favor. In Kiryat Shalom, there are those who miss the Conference League, where everything was much friendlier.
