“The Golden Show”: In the Netherlands, people are beginning to recognize...

To see and not to believe. While in Israel everyone is of course already familiar with the Eran Zehavi phenomenon, in the Netherlands they are amazed by the biggest scorer that Israeli football has to offer. Moments after another huge performance – a hat-trick in Slovakia – even the country of his new team (PSV Eindhoven) got excited.

“Even at the age of 33, Eran Zehavi is still a crucial player at the international level, and PSV hopes to benefit from this often this season,” the Dutch media wrote. “Zehavi’s pure hat-trick – on the left foot, on the right foot and in the head – gave Israel a heroic victory. Until the 68th minute, Slovakia still led 0: 2, and then came Zehavi’s big show.”

“The appearance of the night”, they complimented while in the “new house” of the Israeli star. “All of Europe will talk about him. An amazing performance by Roger Schmidt’s scorer. Eran Zehavi has excelled everywhere he plays, and so has Slovakia. PSV can be pleased, its acquisition is just in great shape.”

Zehavi’s show also made headlines on the German website Kicker, which read: “Israel and Slovakia were both waiting for their first three points in the League of Nations. For a long time the Slovaks seemed on the right track, until Eran Zehavi’s big show began. “With the distribution of points, Zahavi” took to heart “and set a score of 2: 3. A goal that not only set a turning point for Israel, but also completed a pure three goals: once in the head, once in the left, once in the right.

In Turkey, on the other hand, the owner of Fenerbahce, who only recently denied interest in Eran Zehavi, was stung: “What do you say now, Mr. Koch? Zehavi has scored a hat-trick. He is one of the greatest scorers in Europe.”
