Bad feelings in the locker room after Israel's loss to Scotland 3: 2 in Glasgow • Captain Beavers Natcho: "This time there was a feeling we would make it and reach the playoffs. It's very disappointing" • Manor Solomon: "I can only apologize to the fans, the country, we did not come out with points from here"


The team players sat broken at the end of the game in the locker room.

Coach Willy Rotensteiner came in after a few minutes and tried to pick them up, but it was not easy.

The word "suckers" came from all the players, including striker Eran Zehavi, who tonight equaled Motella Spiegler with 32 goals in the national uniform.

Captain Beavers Natcho, for whom it may be the last campaign on the team, seemed broken at the end and said: "This is football, sometimes you make a great game in the first half and in the second half lose concentration at certain points. With the crowd the momentum passed to them and unfortunately in the 90th minute they won the game."

To the question of whether the loss did justice to the game in light of what was on the grass: "I do not know if there was justice. Yes we were in the game, we were good, we created situations and also in 2: 2 we had a situation even though we did not play well enough. "If we split the game into halves then they were much better in the second half."

On the feelings inside, the captain said: "I can not say everything I feel inside. I have been here for 12 years and everyone wants to do it. I am here with Eran Zehavi and hope that future generations will do it. This time there was a feeling that we will do it and reach the playoffs. That's very disappointing. "

Asked if Rotensteiner should continue in his role, Natcho said: "Israel needs to believe in the way. Since Willie arrived, as one from within, many things have changed here and are going on the positive side. I very much hope you have the patience to keep going. In the coming years with our talented generation "And to get to a big tournament. I don't decide, I just say how I feel about Willy on a personal level. He promotes this team. In the end, there are other people who make the decisions."

Manor Solomon contact, heard at the end that Aston Villa player John McGuinn said he was the best player to play against him and said: "A huge compliment to hear such a thing from a Premier League player. It does not comfort me. "Playing in the Premier League with the crowd's push. We held on until the 95th minute and unfortunately we did not manage to come out with this important point."

On the feelings and how to lift the team for Moldova on Tuesday: "We are professional players, we have already experienced losses, we will have to lift ourselves after a very difficult loss. When you stand well until the 95th minute and are missing another minute and suddenly this goal comes, it is very very difficult. Ourselves because there is an important game on Tuesday. "

Asked about the contempt whistles of the audience in the Israeli anthem, Solomon said: "It is not fun to whistle contempt when there is an anthem. Our audience will never whistle contempt for another team in the anthem. It sucks that gave us even more motivation and unfortunately we did not take the points."

Solomon spoke about the expected generational changes and the question of when Israel will advance to a big tournament: "We are always trying to get better. When there is a new generation there are new hopes. We try to do it with our leaders, Beavers and Eran. "I have many more years for the team, my biggest dream is to go up with the team to a big tournament and I hope to fulfill it. Besides, I have not yet summed up this campaign."

In conclusion, Solomon said: "I can only apologize to the fans, to the country, that we did not come out with map points. Even at home they saw that we gave everything we have to win here, unfortunately it was not enough."
