Now it's official, Maccabi's new captain is Tal Burstein. Pnini has it all to be the captain, leadership, fighting spirit, Maccabism is in his blood,he lives the game, great connection with the fans. BUT Burstein's been in Maccabi for so many years, was part of 2 legendary teams and deserves the respect. Not giving him this could be not less than a humiliation so I'm glad they did that, but I hope that once he finishes his contract (2 more years) it won't be renewed, and then Pnini will step in the natural place for him.
