The young team failed to beat Poland on Thursday, but is still strong in the picture of promotion to the 2023 European Championships. To do so, she will have to surprise Germany tomorrow (Tuesday, 18:00 at the stadium in Petah Tikva) and to her delight she will not miss goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, who today was tested again for Corona and found negative.
At the press conference ahead of the critical meeting, coach Alon Hazan first referred to the attack in Hadera: “In my name and on behalf of my team and the players, I want to share the grief of the families and wish a speedy recovery to the injured. Negative because I was fascinated by this terrible situation.It’s not easy, but I think we should recover because we have the opportunity to do something that can bring back a smile to people and prove that we are here to stay for many more years. In itself – we are human beings and we are athletes, I wish what was happening to us would have happened all over the country. “
On the game against Germany: “We respect her, but she also knows that she came to a very difficult game. I do not think Poland is less good than Germany even if her name is less brilliant. We played very well against Poland even if we did not get the three points and we do not think Germany is good “More, but we will try to bring ourselves into the game. Our goal is to bring the things that made us reach this moment.”
After Hazan’s words, the contact Eden Kartzev, who lives not far from where the attack took place in Hadera, added: “We were surprised by what happened in the city and we want to strengthen the families. I call on all Israeli citizens to come and warm the families and help them.”
On the game against Germany, the contact said: “It is a game on three points, like any game and no matter against whom. This is the first time we will meet a team like Germany and it is true that it should be a much harder game than against Poland if you rely on the name of Germany, but I trust My friends, we will do the work. “
Finally, Kartzeb was asked about the dramatic 3-2 loss to Germany in the previous round: “It was over and it is not interesting. What happened then.”
The young team will face Arad Bar tomorrow, without Poland, who was not included in the squad at all, but the “quarrel goalkeeper” Daniel Peretz is negative for the virus and is expected to stand in the gate. In addition, the brake light was released this morning in Lorian, which also initially went positive-border to Corona, but also suffers an injury, and defender Doron Leidner will be absent due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The MS brake is in doubt for the meeting. Ashdod Gil Cohen, who will pass the evening service test. The team hoped to invite more players to the squad, but this is not possible due to a special clause in the rules according to which only players who underwent a Corona test on Friday and today can take part in the meeting, which is also why Amit Glazer and Itai Boganim were called this weekend.
As mentioned, the team really wants to come out with a victory that will bring them very close to the Euros until the age of 21 next year, but a draw will also leave Israel strong in the picture of the battle for first place at home. “There is a triple struggle, each of the three – Germany, Israel and Poland, can finish first,” players in the team said today.
Estimated composition: Daniel Peretz, Karem Jaber, Omri Gandelman, Gil Cohen, Ziv Morgan, Eden Kartzev, Ido Shachar, Ilai Almkeys, Muhammad Canaan, Suf Podgorano, Liel Abda.
