Big celebrations for the Israeli team after the victory over Poland and the promise of promotion to the 2022 European Championship.
Coach Oded Katash said at the end: "Even in the wildest dreams we did not imagine that we would complete the task so smoothly. The ascent itself may not be too huge an achievement, but the way we did it is the optimism to continue. Can we reach the quarterfinals? "Always good, you can mark and dream the highest. Everyone knows that the other teams will also arrive in good form, there are no favorites but you can dream."
Guy Panini, who excelled as always in the decisive moments, added: "We are happy to end the week with a big win. We knew Poland was a good team, we met it in the last break, it was very important to complete the work and return to the European Championships. Will I play in the tournament? "We had a goal to complete, and now God will decide what happens in the summer of 2022."
Tomer Ginat concluded: "We are a special team, everyone enjoys each other very much. It is a great achievement for us, especially with the way we did. It was a tremendous team work, and I helped with my part."
