Prematch
The Youth Israel Premier League season got underway this Saturday and Maccabi “Shachar” Tel Aviv hosted Beitar Jerusalem on Matchday 1 of the 2017/18 campaign. Head Coach Guy Tzarfati’s Starting XI was a combination of veteran players along with new recruits that included Tomer Altman, Eylon Almog, Prince Thomas along with newcomers keeper Daniel Peretz and Amit Glezer.

First Half
Beitar’s first chance came in the ‘5 when Roie Fadida approached the Maccabi goal alone, but defender Noam Cohen was able to send the ball out for a corner kick. In the ’12 Fadida again threatened the Yellow & Blue once again but the striker’s attempt went out.

However, Beitar took the lead in the ’16 when Fadida took a cross from Uriel Fredo and slotted the ball home from in close for a 1:0 lead. Two minutes later Fadida missed a chance to double his side’s lead while in the ’23 Altman had Maccabi’s first chance of the contest when he received a terrific pass from Thomas but his opportunity was saved by the keeper.

In the ’31, Netanel Peretz took a long range attempt but his shot went out. Four minutes later the hosts almost drew even when Thomas handed the ball off to Eyal Hen, but his fine chance just missed the post by centimeters while Eden Kartsev’s attempt hit the post as the young Yellow & Blue attack began to heat up. In the ’42 Hen’s fine cross found Almog but his header was saved by the Beitar keeper as the visitors took a 1:0 advantage into the break.

Second Half
The second half opened well for Maccabi as Altman’s opportunity just went over the goal but finally in the ’52 the hosts tied up the contest. Altman sent a deep ball to Almog who found the corner of the goal to draw the U19’s even at 1:1.

Kartsev tried his luck from long range in the ’55 but his ball went out, while a corner found Thomas but his header also missed the target. Fadida’s ’61 chance went over the bar for Beitar and two minutes later Maccabi was left with 10-men as Ran Vaturi’s reckless tackle earned him a red card. With the match moving into the midfield Maccabi would have one more solid chance to find the winner via Mufleh Shalata in the ’90 who came on as a substitute but the Jerusalem defense cleared the ball from danger and the match ended in a 1:1 draw.

Maccabi “Shachar” Captain in a season opening interview

The Under-19 Club begins their 2017/18 season this Saturday against Beitar Jerusalem. To mark the start of the new campaign, the squad’s captain, Tomer Altman sat down for an exclusive interview

Maccabi “Shachar” Tel Aviv will get the Youth Premier League Ligat Ha’Al underway this Saturday at the Toto Ramle Stadium at 11:00 when they host Beitar Jerusalem. Just ahead of the opening whistle, the 19-year old captain, Tomer Altman who recently signed a 5 year contract with the club spoke about the upcoming campaign:

How do you feel about beginning the new season?
“I feel great as it’s always fun to begin again anew. This will be my 3rd season with the U19’s and I’m still excited to start the new campaign. We have a lot of good feelings, a lot of desire and we are hungry to get going in league action and get off to a good start.”

How do you feel about the new squad this season?
“We do have a new team and it’s different than last season’s. I believe that we have a good group of players who are continuing with the team from last year such as Fadi Najar, Or Dasa, Ran Vaturi along with Eylon Almog and Eden Kartsev who are veterans. We have also added some players who were born in 2000 and for them it will be their first season with the Under-19 side. The new players are working hard and they all want to learn as many of them won the Double last season with the U17’s and that says a lot about these guys. I’m sure that this will help us achieve success this season and I feel that we can really go far.”

How do you feel about the first match of the season?
“Of course I’m excited. Even though I’ve been with the team for 3 years, I’m still thrilled to get things going and I believe that the players can’t wait as well. We are opening the season against Beitar Jerusalem on live TV and I don’t think that we could have asked for a more challenging contest to begin the campaign. I’m certain that all of the players are coming into this game motivated and ready to go.”

How does it feel to be the Captain of the Under-19 club?
“It’s a huge honor to be the captain of the club and to be its leader. When you are a captain of a team you are very proud and the fact that I am a captain at a big club like Maccabi Tel Aviv makes me even prouder.”

What are your expectations for this season, both personally and for the club?
“I’ll begin by talking about my expectations for the club. A team like Maccabi Tel Aviv always wants to win and take home titles. So I am not embarrassed to say that the goal is to win titles especially since this is my 3rd year with the team and over the past two seasons unfortunately we have not won anything. On a personal level it’s very important for me to win a title in my last season with the U19 side. For myself, as a midfielder who likes to join the attack I want to score some goals and assist on others, more so than in the past two seasons that I was with the squad. The main goal of course is to be able to join the first team and prove that I can be a legitimate player with them.”

Of course there’s no question that it’s much easier this season to do as it’s the second campaign that we are working this way. The new staff, the players and myself are learning from each other each and every training session and that’s part of the challenge. I personally enjoy new things. We just held the final friendly before the new season begins and even though we won 3:0 we continue to learn as to where we still need to improve and make improvements. I hope that together we will be able to repeat last season’s success.
