Maccabi Tel Aviv midfielder Dulee Johnson has been praised by a section of the Israeli media for being in top flight at the latter part of the season.

The 24-year-old has shown some dazzling performances in his recent games that have impacted positively on his team. During their last league game against Bnei Yehuda, his charming moves nearly resulted in a personal goal for Maccabi.

DJ has so far scored a goal for Maccabi Tel Aviv and has given impressive support and passes that resulted in several goals for his club since moving from Sweden in summer 2008 to Israel.

Speaking to his website, Johnson said he is happy to be showing signs of his Sweden maneuvers that won him two-time best player of his former club AIK and African best in the European country.

He said: “I’m happy but not satisfied yet. There is more I want to do. This is my first season here and it was more or less like a learning period for me to master the Israeli system. I know the future will judge me. I thank God for keeping me strong to maintain my focus and shape.”

Johnson said it is his wish to see Maccabi lift the trophy. “My dream is to win the league for Maccabi. It might be too late now but that is something I want to achieve while here in Israel. I know we will be at a respectable position this year. I’m happy to have won this year’s Toto Cup with them and my next target is the league. Whether this season or next season I shall surely get there. That is my dream for the team,” the Liberian international said.

Meanwhile, Midfielder Dulee Johnson has expressed delight that his effort led to a goal in a league game that ended 2:1 in favor of his team Maccabi Tel Aviv against Bnei Yehuda.

The Liberian international attempted a goal which was foiled by the Yehuda goal keeper but Johnson’s team mate Buzaglo took advantage of a rebound in the 15th minute to put Maccabi in the lead.
