Title: Israeli National Team Suffers Disappointing Loss in Euro 2024 Qualifier Against Kosovo
In the midst of war in the country, the Israeli national team kicked off their crucial Euro 2024 qualifiers with a disappointing 1-0 loss to Kosovo in Pristina. The defeat could have significant consequences in their fight for promotion to the upcoming tournament in Germany.
Speaking after the game, coach Alon Hazan expressed his disappointment, stating that the team’s inability to secure points was not just a loss on the field, but also a missed opportunity to bring joy and happiness to the people of Israel.
Hazan acknowledged the challenging pitch conditions in the first half but emphasized that the team’s control was complete in the second half. He remains hopeful about their chances in the remaining qualifiers, emphasizing that as long as there’s a chance, they will continue to fight for qualification.
Although the recent events in the country were not seen as a burden, Hazan highlighted the difficult playing conditions and expressed pain for not being able to bring some happiness to the people of Israel.
Looking ahead to their next match against Switzerland, the coach recognized the difficult task but remains determined to achieve a positive result. He also discussed the challenge of managing player fatigue, particularly those who played on Thursday and did not have ample time to train and recover before the match against Kosovo.
As the Israeli national team prepares for their upcoming qualifier, the focus is on regrouping and strategizing for the next game to improve their chances of qualification for the Euros.
