Oscar Gloch recently returned to Maccabi Tel Aviv training, when it is currently unclear whether the great talent of Israeli football will continue with the yellow team. In the last game on Thursday against Zira, Gloch came on in the 88th minute in a situation of 0:3 for Maccabi Tel Aviv against Zira. Eyal Berkovich watched the game from the sidelines, and expressed his opinion on the inclusion of Oskar Gloch during the “Night Studio”.
“A month ago there was the European Youth Championship, whose star was Oskar Gloch. On Thursday, he entered for 2 minutes in front of Zira. Tell me, Maccabi, are you crazy? Where is the club that will intervene?”, Berkovic began his words, “We want Oskar Gloch in all of Europe Maccabi Tel Aviv refuses to release him because of a price tag of 8 or 10 million euros, I believe he will also be sold for 3-4 million. I have no problem with him playing half or half an hour, but what is 2 minutes for a kid who is the future of the club?”
“Of all the 18 players of Maccabi Tel Aviv, there’s no room for Oskar Gloch and give him 2 minutes?”, Berkovic continued, “It’s the club’s job to intervene. A professional manager should tell the coach here what to do, he has the authority to tell Ivic that there is a talented kid here, that they want the club to be built around a player who grew up in youth, and if not then the professional manager should also go. Maccabi Tel Aviv does not have such good players that there is no place for Oskar Gloch. The whole country was on its feet because of him, and he does not play for Maccabi Tel Aviv. No one defends Gloch. We need to wake up before it’s too late – he needs to play – both in Israel and in Europe.”
“Both the owner and the professional manager should tell Ivic to play,” Berkovic continued, “The game against Zira was already over in the 50th minute, so why didn’t he come in? Why aren’t they giving him minutes? It’s not clear to me.”
Later, “The Magician” commented on the meeting between Maccabi Haifa and Olympiakos: “Haifa played in a great way, reached a lot of situations, but outside it will be very difficult and the story will be completely different. We saw that Maccabi Haifa has something to sell. I am less attached to Piero at the moment, he seems frightened Completely, like a kid who just came out of youth. When he comes in front of the goal, he looks confused, but he gets into situations, and there’s something about him.”
Berkovic also spoke about the inclusion of Mavis Cibota: “Cibota is not worth the million euros they paid for him, he is a very scattered player, but when you bring in a player at this price tag – it is a sign that Maccabi Haifa is building on him. If Piero plays against Olympiakos, then This is a great opportunity to put Mavis on the wing in passing attacks. You have to give him a chance. You can’t bring in a player for a million dollars, not let him play and then say he failed. He hasn’t played yet to say he failed.”
