Maccabi Tel Aviv’s criterion for this season was promotion to the European group stage. In terms of this club, this is a basic obligation, like the minimum for participation in the season’s competitions. Passing one round in Europe, when it is ranked all the way, is the basic duty of Maccabi Tel Aviv to achieve this criterion.
The beginning was difficult because the coach Jerko Laztic did not have a full squad, players who are with the Olympic team, a missing foreigner and a reinforcement that arrived late. When all these combined, Laztic and his team made the criterion and advanced to the playoff stage of the Europa League.
The Lithuanian Ponivage was a slight obstacle to achieve the goal. Dor Peretz (48), Usher Davida (54) and Shiv Yehezkel (70), made the task easy. The last two were not part of the European tour at the start and that says it all. The champion will be either in the European League or in the Conference League, a financial and professional gain, in what has become a regular practice for the club in recent years.
In the next step, Bacca Topola awaits, the team that Laztic left to reach the Yellows. A victory over the Serbian team and they will play in the group stage of the European League, a loss and they will return to the Conference League.
