Manor Solomon speaks ahead of the game against Scotland (Football Association)

Willy Rotensteiner will face tonight (Thursday, 21:45, Channel 12) the most important game of his career as a coach.

The Austrian usually says that he has coached before, but without a doubt the challenge he will face in Glasgow as the coach of the Israeli national team is the biggest.



Quite a few questions are on the agenda this week and to get some advice and hear some insights gathered former national coaches Shlomo Sharaf, Eli Gutman and Elisha Levy who tried to shed light on the way they would deal with this fateful week for the future of Israeli football.

Only an array of two brakes.

Shlomo Sharaf: "I would take the players out like a lion coming out of the cage"

Shlomo, how would you fare for this game?



"The situation today is not a normal situation. There are no players because of the Corona and therefore not all the good players are there. As one who always aspired to win every game, I would come up and play open. I do not believe in a closed game. Scotland is not good from Israel so you have to go with confidence. To the players they can beat. "



Do you come up with three brakes or three strikers?



"Obviously three strikers. We do not have two good brakes, so come up with three? I come up with three strikers in this game. I would raise all the offensive lineup available to me. Going only with the goal of winning."



How would you take them out of the locker room mentally?



"I tell them, 'Come up and succeed,' but before that I would tell them, 'The situation in the country today is on the face of it. Millions of people are sitting in houses. The only hope is to give some peace and security for Sukkot, it's forever. You can make people in Israel smile.' "I would also find something from history to tell them. All these years I gave the players motivational stories. I would turn on the players and they would come out like a lion from the cage."



How would you treat them this week in terms of stress?



"Certainly I would take the pressure off. I would talk a lot about them being no less good than the Scots so I would also come up with an offensive line-up because it would give confidence to the players."



What was the lineup you would come up with?



"Ophir Marciano at the goal just because he plays in Scotland. Eli Desa right side. I would only come up with two brakes, Hatem Abdelhamid and Eitan Tibi. Left defender we are in trouble because Tuata with Corona so if there is no choice I go up with San Menachem. Without Dan Glazer and Dor Peretz. When I had no choice, I would go up with Beavers Natcho, Eyal Golsa and Solomon in front of them. And in front Sean Weissman, Mons Dabour and Eran Zehavi. It's a very offensive lineup, but that's how I would play "Golsa and Natcho. But I'm sure I would have come up with a line of four on defense."

Know how to build attack templates for Zahavi and Davor.

Eli Gutman: "The Scots do not have Manor Solomon. Eran Zehavi is at his peak"

Eli, what game plan would you choose for this game in Scotland?

Closes up and tries to steal a goal or surprises the Scots with high pressure?



"The Scottish team is not brilliant at the front. They have no players who can embarrass us if we create overcrowding. The embarrassment can only come from their passing attacks. We go for one game so I would start with pressure in the central strip instead. Do not give them space to play. I do not see players with them. Scotland have no player like Manor Solomon so they should not be allowed to produce passing attacks. Eran Zehavi is at a peak, even though he is always at his peak, and there is Mons Dabour. You have to know how to build attacking patterns for them. Solomon must be free because he is one on one "Our biggest advantage. We will get the Scots in a more organized defense than a month ago. I will seek my control in the center of the field."



Do you go with three brakes or three strikers?



"This team is not a team and I do not have the privilege of moving to a line of four. If the team is already used to three brakes, I continue with three brakes."



What would you bring mentally?



"I would always do the last meeting at the hotel and let the silence on the bus produce victory pictures of the game on the way to the stadium. After that in the locker room he sharpens the tactical instructions and lets leaders like Eran Zehavi and Sharan Yeni come out to light the business. This time because there is no crowd, I would do The meeting concludes in the stadium that there is silence. When there is noise of tens of thousands of people in the stadium, there is no concentration in the locker room. The meeting I remember the most was before the game against Portugal at Ramat Gan. There was maximum preparation against a team that later became European champions. "I would do a mental assembly for players who reach the climax and can make history for themselves."



In a week like this at a hotel in Glasgow, do you intensify the pressure or rather reduce the pressure?



"There is clear pressure before this game. There is no need to talk at all. You need to know how to calm the players. Fax them and let them know that any factor that prevents them from expressing their maximum will make them shudder."



Who were you in the lineup for instead of the missing ones?



"If Nir Bitton could not play, I would probably go up with Sharan Yeni as my first priority as a brake even though I would also consider Uriel Degani. Louis Taha is stuck in Corona so if we are looking for athleticism and speed then I would go with Degani. As for the disadvantage of Tuatha, I guess I would start with San Menachem. As for the link instead of Dor Peretz, I would go up with Eyal Golsa. Only Golsa without hesitation. The big problem this week is of course the Corona who constantly threatens to take down another player. "To create certainty from the uncertainty. Football is injuries, illness, loss of fitness and now also Corona and here is the role of a football coach, who at such a moment takes and creates certainty and stability in the locker room which is always full of uncertainty."

It is mandatory to lower pressure before the game.

Elisha Levy: "San Menachem should open. Glad we are returning to Golsa"

Elisha, in what style would you go up for this game?

What was the game plan?



"Since we played with Scotland a month ago and saw the opponent, I do not think we should go with great apprehension. I would not bank in any way and it is not in my character either. If we go backwards, we will absorb because we always have some mistake in defense. "The whole box office in a knockout game. This is also not true. I would go up in a trend of balance to control the game and up front we have Zahavi and Davor who can win every game. I think we have a good chance of getting through the game in peace."



Rotensteiner's lineup includes three brakes.

Do you come up with three brakes or alternatively three strikers?



"The lineup of the team is good. It is a balanced lineup that keeps the team strong on defense so I would go up that way. The problem with this lineup is in the link because we do not have enough control."



What psychological gimmick would you adopt before the game?

Rotensteiner played them a song last month and told them it was now or never.



"Motivational videos and meetings about the country and the audience at home, this is not what will decide this game but rather the tactical aspect. I would look for a professional rabbit and not necessarily with one player or another."



The pressure gauge is very large because the players know it cannot be repaired.

How would you handle that?



"In this game you have to take pressure off. During so many crucial games I went through with the teams and the team, I saw the level of alertness and the feature that is sometimes excessive and can hurt. I think we have a big advantage in that they have no crowd in the stands."



What would you decide regarding the shortcomings in the lineup?



"If Nir Bitton does not play at the end and Louis Taha is ill in Corona, then he should go with Sharan Yeni. I do not know Joel Abu Hanna for the left wing and in any case it is always best to put a player in his natural position. "So I go with San Menachem. In the link instead of Dor Peretz I had no question at all because when I previously invited Eyal Golsa when he was not playing, they would tell me why I let him play. Golsa played for me even when people thought he should not play."
