Every game the Israeli national team holds, in an official tournament or friendly match, helps us move forward."
The coach further said:.
"It is clear that playing in Lisbon against the European champions, with some of the best players in the world, is challenging, but we will also strive, as always, to achieve a result that will make the fans of the Israeli team continue to be proud of it."
