6. In March 2016, just two months after celebrating his 18th birthday, he sat on Bayer Leverkusen's bench in a game against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. Unfortunately, he did not come in as a substitute and missed an opportunity to play in one of the best leagues in the world.

7. He made 11 appearances for Kaiserslautern in the German sub-league. By comparison, Gili Vermouth has only played 5 games for the same team.

8. Other senior teams he belonged to were Fortuna Cologne (8 appearances in the third division) and Magdeburg (not a partner in the team uniform when it was in the sub-league).

9. In Bayer Leverkusen's youth team, he collaborated with Kai Habertz, who is already considered one of the best link players in Europe. Another partner was Benjamin Henriks, who today plays for R.B. Leipzig and has already worn the uniform of the German senior team.

10. In the summer of 2019 he left Germany for the first time and signed with Ukrainian Ukrainian Zuriya Lugansk. Today he is collaborating with Max Grechkin.

11. Throughout his short career, he has suffered from a few injuries, mostly to the muscles. In the 2018/19 season he missed no less than 13 games due to injuries.

12. The only goal in his professional career he scored last season against Dynamo Kiev. An equalizer in the number in the 82nd minute (2: 2).

13. He even dreamed of being a policeman and in an interview with Bild he said: "When I was a child I met a lot of policemen who came to receive treatment from my physiotherapist father. I always talked to them and their work seemed very interesting to me. Before I became a professional footballer, I wanted to be a policeman."

14. About his character he said: "I am told I am an adult for my age. It is because of the education I received at home, I grew up on the values ​​of modesty and decency. Off the field I am a calm person, but on the lawn I am full of emotions. People who know me in normal life will not recognize me. On the field. "

15. His name is well known to groups in Israel, especially to the greats. Some of them have been following him for the past two years, but are probably not convinced he is good enough. Maybe now, after being called up to the team, the opinion of them will change.
