Levy, who belongs to Maccabi Haifa and has one more season left in Hava, was asked about his future and replied: “I am happy that the talk is such that there is a demand, it is very flattering to me. Maccabi Haifa is a big club and you have to fight there even if you come as a foreigner earning 500 or 600 A thousand dollars for the season. I think it’s too early to talk about it, because I have other goals this season with Maccabi Petah Tikva. I want to continue my progress and for me to continue my progress is to get the opportunity I don’t know where. They haven’t talked to me yet. I have a final season in my contract, but I believe in myself that I can do it at any level, but it also depends on me. Maccabi Petah Tikva is like a second home to me, I’m always happy and would love to play here. My progress is the most important thing to me, I don’t want to take a step back next season but to continue the progress and I hope I can do it wherever it is.”
Levy, who scored five goals this season and scored six in 1908 minutes in the league, referred to the past season for him personally: “I felt very good. It started well, I got injured and then it took me a little time to get back into the rhythm. Now at the end I felt great and I hope I will continue that in the finals as well The trophy. In order to take it upon yourself, you need a place that will give you our back and all the confidence here.”
On the season from a team point of view and the people who helped him along the way: “We went through everything and there is an amazing team here, amazing young people and a coach (Ran Kozhuch) whom I personally hold in high esteem. Even though it started like this, my connection with him is excellent and we got to know each other. I am happy that he gives me back and that I am able to give back to the club, he comes to every training and pushes the players. Tal Ben Haim, who I am like a son to, helped me a lot when I arrived. It was a special season. Although we were down for a large part of the time, but also knowing how to get out of there is something that sharpened us, especially the young players. I went through such a season in the youth of Maccabi Haifa, that we were almost relegated and it sharpened me, but you can’t compare to what I went through this season, the Premier League is something else “.
On the cup final against Hapoel Be’er Sheva: “I think that regardless of Be’er Sheva this is an excellent team and I am sure that they will come and give everything in the final, we always believe in ourselves and are always confident. We are pushed forward and we will get all the tools to succeed in this game. This is one game, Anything can happen. There will be pressure in any case, especially when there are many young people and it’s the first time in their careers. I try to help each other as much as I can. I don’t know how much experience I have, but I try.”
