More than 500 kilometers separate Rome from Venice.

This did not prevent the 2,000 Rome fans from arriving at the Venice Stadium in all sorts of ways on Tuesday afternoon, where the meeting between the two took place.

11,000 spectators were in the stands, an almost maximum amount.

It was Venice's most intriguing game at home since the season opener and it ended with its biggest win to date.

She was 1: 2 behind, but won 2: 3.

For long minutes it was impossible to calm the local crowd starting to see fruit from his group.

Dor Peretz sat on the bench and got up just to keep warm.

In the stands sat his father, Yaakov Peretz, who came for the periodic visit.

Two very talented youngsters play for him in his place in Venice: Ethan Empado from the Wales national team, who is on loan from Chelsea, and Gianluca Bossio, a player from the United States national team.

Dor Peretz has to beat the two to open and in the last five games, since returning from the games against Scotland and Moldova, he has not yet received the team shirt from his coach.

Has risen from the bench twice in the last month.

Peretz played 44 minutes in the loss to Sassuolo and 13 minutes in the zero draw against Genoa.

In three other games including Tuesday he did not see a minute.

Venice has 12 points after 12 rounds and is ranked 15th in the table three points from the red line below which is Sampdoria in 18th place.

Peretz knew he would reach a very difficult first season.

"Series A has become a fire series," says a person close to him.

"Dor did not travel to play in a mediocre league in Europe. The Italian league is today among the top three in the world. The level in Italy has risen greatly and he knows he plays in the place of the best and that is what keeps him in those days when he is not trusted. Dor thinks he deserves more minutes. But he also remembers players playing in front of him who will have a very big name in a few years. "

Peretz arrived in Austria yesterday. 300 kilometers between Venice and Klagenfurt where the game will be played on Friday between the Israeli team and the Austrian team. Instead of boarding a plane with a wait and corona checks, the team worried that Peretz would make his way north from Venice to the Austrian city by car. It took less than three hours and he was at the team hotel. "Dor is very happy to join the team. He has been waiting for this week and he is very excited to finish this campaign in the World Cup qualifiers with two victories," say those around the contact.

Willy Rotensteiner very much holds on to him and wants him with him on Friday one hundred percent ready.

After the game in Scotland where Israel lost the draw in extra time after Peretz lost McTominy in the last corner ball, came the game against Moldova where Peretz did not stand out much but the team won.

Rotensteiner felt he wanted to give extra to a player he really likes and flew specifically to Italy two weeks ago to visit him.

Half a day they were together in the city of Mestre near Venice where a rented apartment has to be broken into.

He is unmarried and without a regular partner, so he has to spend a lot of time in Italy alone but also with a family that comes to visit.

Dedicated a special time to Peretz.

Rotensteiner's visit touched his heart. The coach also remembered that they broke up after the game against Moldova which was very charged for Peretz. The family waited until after the game to announce the death of his grandfather, his mother's father, to whom he was very attached. He stayed in the country for a funeral the day after the game against Turner against Moldova and returned to Italy laden with emotions and very sad. Rotensteiner knew this and flew to him to strengthen. "You are such a quality player that I really appreciate," the coach said in a conversation between them. "I have no doubt that things here will change and even though it is one of the best leagues in the world, your place will also come and you will play a lot."

In Rotensteiner's lineup on Friday Peretz has a central part.

This is not Scotland, which put a lot of pressure on the Israeli team, especially in the second half at Hampden Park.

Austria should be more comfortable and Peretz already knew in the past to join the attack and assist with a goal or an assist.

"Willie very much appreciates Dor and wants to see him very dominant in this game," say at the national team camp.

"When a good generation, the team is good. It is no coincidence that Maccabi Tel Aviv is so lacking in it."

"Fun to break a routine."

Maccabi Tel Aviv conceded 15 goals in nine rounds.

With this dismal figure, she went out on Tuesday for the national team break and the arm break that will come right after her.

Peretz's departure plays a key role in the fact that Maccabi Tel Aviv does not know how to defend defensively.

He is not on the grass in Kiryat Shalom to arrange Maccabi Tel Aviv's defensive game and he should be on the grass on Friday to arrange for Rotensteiner peace and security as well.

"Dor came to the team with a very upbeat mood," say those around him.

"He's looking forward to it especially. It's fun to break a routine and be with friends again who speak your language and are used to you. These games that will finish the campaign are something that a generation very much wants to finish with 6 points. Because Dor really appreciates him and even beyond that. "
