At 31, lBoris Kleiman There is only one appearance in the Israeli national team uniform, and with the appointment of new coach Alon Hazan, the goalkeeper hopes that the situation may change for him, after previously expressing his anger on social media for not being called. In the first to “Five in the Air,” he explained his reaction.
“On the one hand, I say to myself, ‘What a fool you are, what have you done?'” Kleiman said. “On the other hand, every time I was not invited I wanted to do something. Because there were times I felt I did not deserve it, but every time I expected and it did not come, I wanted to make a mess so that next time I would not expect a summons. Now because I continue to play abroad says “I think I might be summoned someday, so maybe I should not have done it.”
The goalkeeper continued: “If they really want me, you can have a conversation and talk about things. Yossi Benyon and I would travel together for training in Betar Jerusalem for a year, we were in good contact. I do not know if I will talk to me really they will invite me. The only time I played was in 2016 against Croatia, and who was the coach? Alon Hazan. ”
On the place of Ophir Marciano and Daniel Peretz is guaranteed, Kleiman said: “Marciano should be an anchor, but Daniel Peretz? A week ago Omri Glazer got a goalkeeper of the season, why not mention him? You know how many goalkeepers were marked as the next thing? I should have been Casillas. “Peretz really did have a great season, but it’s a matter of opinion. We need to summon Marciano and me and do Ann-Dan-Dino. I don’t know about the others, but I know mine does deserve to be on the team, after Marciano.”
The goalkeeper complimented colleagues in the Premier League: “Ruby Lewkowicz has been playing for a few years, giving plays and I catch my head how he is not invited. I have no idea what’s going on there. The truth is that this season there are some goalkeepers who had a good season league”.
Kleiman, who currently plays for Volos, said of his condition: “I’m very good here and I have an option in the contract to leave Greece for free, and if an attractive enough offer comes I will consider it. But I am very connected to the team and the city, feel at home “I currently have a contract for another season. I can say that yesterday I got a phone call from a goalkeeping coach from a big team in Greece to ask about my situation. A team from the top four in the league. I will have a hard time getting inside Greece because I do not believe the president will let me go.”
And what about the possibility of him returning to Hapoel Tel Aviv? “I have a very warm corner in my heart for Hapoel and I would be very happy to receive an offer from them. I got there at the age of 18 from Hapoel Kfar Saba and I had a special connection with the crowd and the place. I would be very happy to return there. First there. But it all depends on the offer I get “
Kleiman made 21 appearances this season in all competitions, scoring 36 goals and keeping a clean sheet five times. On last season he said: “The start was not so good, I had some disagreements with the coach, fifth or Friday round I lost my place in the squad, but I came back the next game already. After that I missed games because of Corona, and after that because of yellows. But in a big way. “A successful season. Yes, I absorbed a lot, but statistically I finished every game with four or five saves. We were a little unstable this year.”
