Final Day of Kiev Training Camp
Just before returning to Israel, the U17 & U16 squads met their counterparts from Dynamo Kyiv. The U17 side drew 1:1 while the U16’s fell 2:1. Patrick van Leeuwen the Club’s Performance Director: “The camp was extremely useful for all of the department’s clubs”The last day of the Kiev Training Camp has come to an end. After the Under-19 Club finished their friendlies, the Under-17 and Under-16 squads also played their last matches against their counterparts from Dynamo Kyiv, one of the most successful European sides from the Ukraine. Maccabi “Oded” Tel Aviv (U17) drew 1:1 as Tal Yagodaev scored the lone goal for the young Yellow & Blue. The Under-16 team fell 2:1 as Itay Ben Hemo was the goal scorer.
Under-17 Head Coach Eliezer Ben Aharon summed up the match and the training camp in general: “We played a good match, though we missed a number of chances. I was happy to see various things we worked on in training in the actual match and that’s encouraging. The players are learning quickly and are performing just as we demanded of them. We finished the camp off feeling very good.”
Patrick van Leeuwen, the Club’s Performance Director observed the Under-16 match and said: “The players were able to stand toe to toe with one of the great European clubs. The players were pressured a bit at the start of the game and didn’t play as they did in the previous contests like working as a team and quickly putting on pressure after losing the ball. All in all it was a wonderful experience for the guys, to be able to play against a very physical and fast club. We cut the lead near the end of the match and it gave the players motivation and energy to try to tie up the game.
It was an excellent camp, the players worked hard all week long and I believe that the camp was extremely useful for all of the department’s clubs who took part, the U19, U17 & U16. The players stood up well to the task at hand and played bravely against a very high level European side.”
Leon Asraf, one of the Under-16 professional staff members added: “Even though we were down 2:0 we were able to cut the lead and almost drew even. This was a very high level opponent and these types off matches help us continue to improve. This is one of the reasons why we had this training camp as the players have now gained European experience.”

I’ve waited for this for a long time and I have worked very hard to get to this point. I’m very happy that the club trusts me and has given me the stage to prove myself. I hope that I’ll get more opportunities to prove myself in the future. The match itself was fine and I was very excited but after a few minutes on the pitch I felt fine.”

Training Camp Day 5: Friendlies for U17 & U16
The Under-17 and Under-16 sides were busy at their Kiev training camp as the U16 squad defeated RFK 8:0 while the U17 club fell to the U17 Ukrainian National TeamThe 5th day of the Kiev Training Camp saw two Maccabi Youth Department sides have mixed results in their friendly matches.

Raymond Atteveld, the Professional Director of the Under-16 team spoke about the match and the training camp in general: “The training camp gives you the opportunity to build the club on the pitch. You can fix things up and help out each other to get the best out of each player. The players have worked very hard this week both on and off of the pitch. It didn’t take long to see the results as we won 8:0.
As soon as we controlled the pace in the first half our opponent began to tire. We scored some very nice goals due to our quickness. But we can still read the game better, to know where our opponent’s weak points are and where our strengths lie.
We began the second half with fresh players and they pressured the other side who was already tired and we didn’t let them breathe. At the end of the match the players knew that they could’ve scored even more goals. This is the goal that we are aiming for as a club and to know that there are no shortcuts, to always give 100% every day and at every moment. We will continue to push each other higher. Congratulations to the players and there is no need to say it but the players know how to give 100% to Maccabi Tel Aviv.”
Eliezer Ben Aharon, the Under-17 Coach spoke about his side’s contest: “We played against a very good and aggressive National Team. The match can be split up into two halves, one which was good and the other which wasn’t. We made a lot of substitutes and we were a bit fatigued. This was our second match and we will continue to learn from these experiences as we continue on.”
The Maccabi Tel Aviv Youth Department team will continue their training camp and will face additional opponents in Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk.
