The young team landed in Ireland for the first match in the playoffs for promotion to Euro 2023. The team has mixed feelings when on the one hand there is great excitement and vigilance, but on the other hand players testify that the dressing room is not yet consolidated, as the new markings and the revolution that Guy Luzon made in the team resulted in many players not knowing each other at all Each other.
One of the team’s players claimed: “There was a very cohesive dressing room throughout the campaign, because most of us were also from the same year and knew each other for many years. Now there are many new players, but we all understand that what is important is to raise a euro and everyone will give everything for each other so that we can do it “.
The team believes that it is possible and necessary to pass Ireland in order to record a historic moment: “We had a tremendous campaign in a very difficult home,” said another player, “so we are aware of our qualities and want to complete the task.”
Coach Guy Luzon has not yet decided on the lineup he will start, but it seems that most of it is pretty closed. Daniel Peretz will start between the posts, while Stav Lemkin is expected to get a place in the center of defense in place of Or Belorian who was not called up. In the front, it seems that Oskar Gluch and Osher David will open, while in the center of the link there is still a debate.
The junior team is waiting for an official announcement from the senior team, but the expectation is that Liel Abda and Eden Kartsev will play under Guy Luzon in the return match next week: “There is no doubt that the team’s match on Saturday is important, but if the choice is between a friendly match against Malta or the junior team’s qualification match for the Euros , there is no doubt what is more important,” said officials in the young team.
