A big farce occurred last night (Wednesday) when the Israeli team took off for Albania, ahead of the meeting with the local team, long hours late Because the association leased a small plane and there were problems of being overweight. The embarrassing solution that the team eventually went through was to drop three crew members who would join today with a plane that would be made available to the airline team. In addition, download equipment that needs to be taken to Iceland and will also arrive today. In Tirana, a heavy security team was expected.
“We landed when we were done from the long day and the nightmare we went through yesterday. From 13:30 we were at the airport, everyone was done with everything that happened, people were stressed from the whole situation and also from the plane itself which was small. Just seeing the plane and we cried. To Eilat and not to Albania “, players in the team summed up the difficult experience they went through from the moment they arrived at the airport in the afternoon until they took off after a delay of several hours.
During the flight, the chairman, Oren Hasson, and the members of the delegation tried to reassure the players. “We are examining the issue with the airline and this will be addressed,” they said. “It happens every day that players have to get off the flight due to excess luggage, there was great embarrassment because of what happened but we had to find solutions as quickly as possible. , Added in the team.
Hasson is examining whether the source of the problem is with the association or the airline. According to the association’s members, all the necessary documents were transferred to the company on time, but as we wrote last night, everyone who understands aviation knew that there was already a problem in leasing the type of aircraft. This should have lit red lights for the members of the association regarding the financial gap between what the Israeli airlines’ reality is, compared to the Greek airline, and anyone with a basic understanding of the field would know how to explain this difference.
In the end, there is no cheap reality, so the association had to examine things in depth. It would now be easiest to say that only the airline is to blame. The association should do a serious home inspection. After all, as we wrote, Arkia could have offered a type of Ambrar plane as flown by the team, but they knew it was not big enough for such a trip. It is better for Hasson to take an expert on these matters with him before making decisions.
Hasson said last night that he sought to conduct an in-depth investigation, when he is in no hurry to blame others before examining himself thoroughly. As stated, the association believes in the first stage that all the information was transferred in time to the airline.
Tonight, the team will hold the concluding training ahead of the game during which coach Alon Hazan is expected to formulate the final lineup. Hazan is expected to place Sean Weissman as a goal striker when Mons Dabour comes down to play under the striker. Dan Glazer and Dor Peretz may open together in midfield. By the way, each player should receive during the day 1,000 euros from the association for travel to Albania and Iceland.
By the way, in the shadow of the events of the recent period, my brother Nazareth strengthened Davor. The Instagram account of the striker’s youth group uploaded a photo of him carrying out a silence movement and read: “We are all Mons Dabour, do not apologize.”
