Alon Hazan: "The criticism of us is out of self-interest. I will not run for the post of coach after Rotensteiner"

The assistant coach of the Israeli national team opens everything: Zehavi's miss ("Pendel is not related to the quality of the player"), the confrontation with Dabour ("We did not think for a moment to replace them"), Berkowitz's mouth ("I do not recommend anything to him") and the division in the people ( "What can you call any of our people Nazis? You got off the rails").

Israel national team player Eran Zehavi after the hat-trick he scored against Slovakia (Football Association)

The news that their golden hair was infected in Corona, Alon Hazan received it yesterday (Saturday) on the way home from the synagogue.

"The cell phone was closed on Saturday, but before Shabbat I had a phone call with Eran to the Netherlands to hear how he was and he told me he was on his way for an examination. When I returned from the synagogue, one of the neighbors told me that their hair was infected. I was in great pain."

"We will be tested today but throughout the period in the team we did a lot of tests and I also made sure not to take off the mask. I hope it will be fine."

"I am convinced that he did not criticize what was in the Israeli team because he saw how much the team doctor Udi Kaufman made an effort and acted during the days we were together."

"Probably the procedure that all the capsules of the teams have because the capsules do not stay sealed and the fact that some of our players came back positive."

Eran Zehavi positive for Corona: "Feeling of cover under one big one"

With what feelings did you return from the selected week?

"Mixed feelings. I think we deserved to step up against Scotland. As someone who was there on the pitch, I felt that the Scottish players were looking for the penalties more than our players in many minutes."

"And I heard that bullshit. Pendel has nothing to do with a player's quality. A fan of the team could come from some factory and score. It's a lot of luck."

"What nonsense to say that. I heard actors say what motivation his speech gave them. Actors who have difficulty expressing emotion, talked about what Eran did to them and what emotion put them in. I also heard them say their hair stressed itself. You know how long it took from the moment he said the "Things to the penalty area? Do you really think that when he came to kick the penalty, he sat at the head of the speech in the locker room?"

"There were times I lost on penalties. Luckily I didn't miss a penalty. I was lucky enough to even score a penalty for Watford who lifted us to the final at Wembley."

"Pendel is a lot of luck."

After Scotland you came to the game against the Czech Republic and in the first thirty minutes it would have looked like youth against seniors.

"The Czechs put a lot of pressure on us and we couldn't get the ball to their part of the field at all. It looked bad, but after the goal we conceded we went back into the game and in the second half we got into a lot of situations. The Czechs may not be such a big name in European football. Very strong. "

"I was not afraid of Ophir because Ophir came to the team at a very good time. He was very stable. I was surprised it happened to him."

"Agree with me that this goal did not come because of a problem in football especially when Ofir greatly improved his football. There was a lack of concentration here, but I agree that we returned too many balls and Ofir had to touch the ball too many times. The pressure the Czechs put on disrupted our game." .

"He was very stable. I was surprised it happened to him."

Then began after Scotland and the Czech Republic a sharp critique of Willy Rotensteiner.

How did you feel as an assistant and partner?

"I have to tell you that throughout the week with the team I was completely disconnected from the media."

"A lot of the criticism is driven by self-interest. If there was someone close to us and sees our work with the players and the highlights, then fine and I would get professional criticism. A lot of the criticism comes from a personal place and self-interest.

"Leave me because I'm part of it. I hear people talking about a neat team, a team that knows what it wants, a team that does not break. We went out to play against Slovakia and showed superiority in many minutes. There is more to work, but Willie does everything to get the team ready for all. Game and for any scenario.Don't forget that within this week of the three games we had a total of five training sessions.So really? We do our best to instill in players that they are equal and that we have requirements from them and how we integrate young players.It is not possible to measure a person by ten days. "The process here is Willie doing a good job. We want the team to be dependent on itself and not on rivalry."

"We are not doing anything in the team from a place of responding to what is being said about us."

With a hand on heart do you deserve to continue?

"I am not the address for this question. Everything that is decided about us will be legitimate. There are decision makers in the Football Association and whatever they decide will be acceptable."

"No. I will not put myself up for election as national coach. I am with him today and I will not jump headfirst into his place. I will not say I should be in his place. I am sure they will find me another niche in the Football Association and if not, then it's okay. "National coach, he will come later and not after Willy Rotensteiner."

"I think there is a direct continuation of Andy's era. The process of progress was built from Andy's days. We can not dwarf what Andy had. I think the team sees a team that is not afraid of an attacking game. Everyone talks about Eran, but look how many players on the team come on the attack and Look at how many situations we got in the games. "

"Direct extension".

Did you see the incident between Eran and Monas on the lawn or were you already in the locker room?

"I saw the incident on the grass so I waited and made sure to separate together with Ariel Harush. Happily they did not continue angrily in the locker room but entered a side room and our hearts were all between them for eight minutes. They talked and it was very mature after the grass debate was not mature. We did not think "For a moment to replace them. When two players resolve the matter immediately and Eran apologizes, then there was no place for our education series."

"I hate these comparisons between periods. Clearly their hair is a huge scorer and had a place in every era and in every generation, but even then there were great pioneers who could not be ruled out like Eli Ohana, Roni Rosenthal, Alvo Mizrahi and Ronen Harazi."

"Monas is an amazing guy and an outstanding player. Obviously a striker will only feel good when he conquers. The game in Slovakia was one of Monas' best in the national team. Obviously he also wanted to participate in goals. These are legitimate things. I'm not worried Monas does not find the net. He will do it. A lot in the future for the Israeli team. "

"They talked and it was very mature after the debate on the lawn was not mature."

Did you believe that Sharan Yeni, who will soon be 34 years old, will open all three games in six days?

"Sharan Yeni is a very important player on the team. I have already seen that they will not be part of the team next month. Sharan deserves full appreciation. He is one who knows his qualities and will always try to bring more. He came to the game in Slovakia a little tired and had a hard time but we did not have Nir Bitton, Hatem and Louis Taha so he came up and was very good. Sharan brings the maximum of himself. You never feel that Sharan leaves anything aside. It's easy to tell people that Sharan should already be thrown away. I know what he contributes to the young players on the team. The young players learned a lot Yeni's inductor. "

"Golsa does not depend on us as coaches. He showed incredible ability and is today an option for a regular car player in the Israeli team. He was everywhere on the field against Slovakia and cooked twice for Eran. And that was when he was not at his peak because he did not prepare for this season properly."

"Obviously. Alas if I were to think of anything like Willie. In many cases he got my opinion and that's the beauty of it."

"Beavers plays European football at a high rate every week. And beyond that Beavers is very important to the team structure. Along with that there is a process of changing shifts and like Sharan Yeni, Beavers is building the next generation of the team. Beavers is the most egoless man I have ever known and he will be ready. To help the team even when he enters for a quarter of an hour. "

"One of the things we suffer from in this damn time, is that people want everyone to think the way they think."

Two of your close friends Eyal Berkowitz and Tal Benin got into a personal quarrel with Beavers.

Maybe they chose the wrong person to quarrel with?

"Eyal and Tal's right to say what they want. My job is not to tell them if they are wrong. Our job is to enjoy what the Beavers have to give the Israeli team."

"Eyal is a mature guy and I don't have to tell him what to say. I do not recommend anything to Eyal. Opinions are here or there. Eyal has the right to think what he wants. One of the things we suffer from this damn time is that people want everyone to think the way they think. I I will not convince anyone to think differently from me. "

"It makes me very angry. It's delusional. It comes from both religious extremists shouting Nazis at policemen and protesters who say Nazi policemen and soldiers because they are keeping order and fulfilling orders. Friends, you have lost your way. Have you forgotten what the word Nazi already means? How dare you compare? Soldiers and policemen to the Nazis in such a light-hearted way? It's just crazy. People have lost their way here. Everyone has the right to think what they want. One camp says about the other traitor. Another camp says about the other baboons and insane because they point to Bibi and the climax is the use of the word "I do not want people once a year on Holocaust Day to be sensitive and after that they will forget or apologize on Yom Kippur and after that they will forget how to behave. How can one of our people be called Nazis? You got off track."
