Maccabi has been captivated by Cruijff in recent years. “Hij was vaak bij ons,” said Mitchell Goldhar. “Maccabi has lost a friend.

Joris van Overeem has been with Maccabi since 2022 and fought against the opponent’s impact on the team before Wednesday’s game against Ajax: “It’s fierce. On the field I can say that I was lost, but he took care of it Na en jehermee bezig. If the land is eronder, then we will lift it over.
