The saga of the national team created quite a bit of noise yesterday (Thursday), mainly around Dia Saba’s non-call-up. The star of Maccabi Haifa, and the one who scored 3 goals in the national uniform in the past, was left out of the squad of Yossi Benyon and Alon Hazan – when it seems that most of the hidden is on the open for a reason in the garden it happened.
In the “press gallery” they tried to analyze Shakra, as the former coach of the Israeli national basketball team Tzvika Sharafwas the one who opened the discussion: “I think there is a treatment problem here. If it is true that Dia Saba informed the national team through an associate that he was not coming, I do not know the reason. There was once a national team manager, he absorbs everything. Someone should have talked to him. According to From what I understand, neither Alon Hazan, nor Yossi Benion, nor the manager of the national team talked to him. Someone should have talked to him.”
Eli Ohana He answered: “When you issue summonses to the national team, you don’t talk to each and every one personally. Secondly, as soon as someone approached him and Dia Saba informed that person that he didn’t want to come to the national team, I think the message came from the direction of Dia Saba and not the national team.”
“If you don’t want to be in the national team – it’s not mandatory. No one should be forced to play in the national team. What will you get out of him if he doesn’t want to? If this team stays, I don’t see him being invited. When was the last time he was in the national team? Suddenly now he’s being talked about, but He didn’t want to.”
Ohana commented on the series of cases surrounding the national team’s squad: “I don’t like that the cases are mixed up. Zahavi, Davor and Atzili are completely different cases. With the exception of Zahavi, they all also said that they didn’t want to be on the team. The team didn’t make it to the World Cup without them, and it probably won’t make it with them either. I say: when you are invited to the national team – don’t ask questions, come.”
On another player who was left out: “Abu Fani, this is a professional decision. The coaches are allowed to decide on the summons of each player. He can say what he wants.”
