The 22-year-old full-back made 33 appearances in all competitions this season to take his overall tally to 113 in Yellow and Blue. Revivo, who scored two goals in Europe but has yet to get off the mark in the league, reflected on Monday’s 4-1 victory over Kiryat Shmona that saw Maccabi end a four match winless streak. “It feels very good, it’s a lot of fun. It was important for the team’s energy, for every player, and also for the coach.”
Revivo paid tribute to the 6000 travelling fans who came to support the team against Kiryat Shmona at Netanya as he said: “I want to thank the fans who came and supported us in an away match, it felt like a home game, and they are very important to us.”
Ahead of the return to Bloomfield for tomorrow’s Cup tie which will be hosted by Jaffa, Revivo said: “There’s nothing like Bloomfield, we need our fans.”
On facing second division side Jaffa that already knocked out Bnei Sakhnin and Maccabi Netanya in the previous rounds, Revivo said: “We know that Jaffa is no pushover; they knocked out Netanya and Sakhnin. We are coming very prepared and are focusing on ourselves. First and foremost, I want to win, I don’t care how, but we do need to play our system, our way, and that’s how we’ll get the victory.”
On the change in the camp following the managerial changes and the arrival of Ronny Deila, Revivo summed up: “A spirit of change arrived with the new coach already from the first training session. Especially after the win, there were a lot of smiles, and I’m happy for the team and for myself. It was important for us to win.”
