George Jovanovic celebrates (Shahar Gros)
A day after he scored in a 1:1 between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Maccabi Haifa, Djorja Jovanovic’ He was interviewed in Serbia today (Wednesday) to talk about the Yellows, himself and above all to shed some light to the Serbian media regarding Barak Bakr and his fit with Red Star Belgrade after it concluded there as we revealed here at ONE.
A striker of the Tel Avivim spoke to ‘Mundo’ and first of all referred to the coach of the Greens: “I don’t know him personally, but his results speak for themselves. He has already won five championships and is at the top even now in the race. Factually, he is very good and an excellent tactician.”
“His team always plays open,” continued Ex-Partisan, the star’s biggest rival. “His thought is first of all an attack. The football here is generally more attacking than in Serbia, the conditions are also better, from the grass to the infrastructure.”
Jovanovich also shared about his situation at Maccabi Tel Aviv: “I am in the biggest club in Israel, everyone in Europe and even in the world knows who Maccabi Tel Aviv is.” There is a huge army of fans here, they were also with me in my less good moments and I am grateful for that. I’m trying to give them back with what I’m best at, conquering exiles.”
On the situation of the Yellows in the standings: “We met Maccabi Haifa of Bacher in the league just now, I scored and we led 0:1 in the 40th minute and we were close to winning, but we conceded in the 87th minute. Thanks to the goal we conceded, we are ten points behind Haifa instead of seven, which is a shame because it could have been more exciting. In any case, we will fight as long as there is a chance.”
Finally, he spoke about his sympathy for Partizan: “Everyone in my group likes to go to Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball games, but I can never join because it coincides with Partizan basketball games, and that is always my priority. When we were on vacation not long ago, I considered flying on vacation, but I saw that there was Partisan against Olympiakos and I said I couldn’t give it up, I flew to the game and had a lot of fun.”
