Coach

said in his opening remarks: "Of course we were disappointed with the loss, but the next day we started operations to lift the team and analyze what we did in Scotland, both the positive and the negative. I want to focus now only on the game against Moldova, ".

Team captain

said of the disappointment after the loss in Scotland: "We have said we want to fight for promotion to the World Cup, but it cannot be said to be a failure - we are still at home with Denmark, Scotland and Austria, and gently say no one is better than us. "We like to lift so that the fall is more painful than it should be. We have three more games left and we have to do everything to finish with three wins."

"It has not been five minutes since the end of the game and there have been articles that he does not continue. Lots of things are written that are speculations or opinions of journalists. "But it is not our job to decide. If we are consulted and asked for our opinion, we have never hidden it and we are not ashamed of what we think."

"It was very disappointing because we were in the game in the first half we scored two goals and it was fun to see us. On the other hand, everyone gave one hundred percent and for me it is enough. We have many more things to improve and I believe we ".

How to prepare for Moldova:

"Even if there is a drop of complacency or emptiness, we will make sure that the Israeli team tomorrow will give everything on the field and I hope the crowd that comes will enjoy us. Except for the game against Denmark away, "He enjoys the team, and that's an element we improved on. There are differences between us and the teams at the highest levels, we are still far away. We scored 16 goals, but we also conceded the most except for the Faroe Islands. These are things that need to be worked on."

The problems in defense: "I emphasize that I am talking about the defensive game and not the defensive players. At the moment we have a lot of attacking players who play abroad and these are things that promote us, when we also have 15-20 defensive players who go abroad and train at the highest levels, they will face "Pioneers who really do things and that will advance us. I wish in a few years that's what it will be."

Will end the current window without a team appearance.

On the professional side, the brake problem in the Israeli team continues, and after Hatem 'Abd al-Hamid was called up to the game against Moldova instead of the injured Idan Nachmias, the Hapoel Beer Sheva stopper will be absent from tomorrow's meeting (Tuesday, 21:45) after being examined by the team doctor. .

As mentioned, the stopper of the table leader returned to the squad after the game against Scotland, which he missed due to the accumulation of yellow cards.

Now that another name has joined the missing squad in the back line, Willy Rotensteiner will have to decide which of the brakes will open against Moldova.
