Manor Solomon, a player for the Israeli national team and Shakhtar Donetsk, visited the Mevoot Yam academy last Wednesday.
During his visit, Solomon spoke with the young actors, along with professional director Guy Azouri.
The meeting was attended by players from all yearbooks of the academy, 2006, 2007, and 2008, and then Solomon participated in practical training with yearbook players in 2008. In total, the football academy has 67 players from all three yearbooks,
"It's fun to be here, it's an amazing place with wonderful children," said the Israel national team star. "I was very happy to talk to them and I enjoyed hearing their questions. Their conditions here at the academy are wonderful and there is a significant gap between their conditions Here at the boarding school, they train before and after school hours so they have a lot more training units.There are more coaches on smaller groups of children and that will contribute to them.
"They get quality pitches here, great food, a gym, halls, a lecture hall - all at a very high level. I hope to see them in a few more years with us in the senior team. I was happy to hear the questions, I heard about their fears and anxieties. I told them my story. And everything I've been through so far, and I hope they've learned a few things. "
Guy Azouri: "Manor, beyond being an exceptional talent, brings with him remarkable personality and values. Even during his visit to the academy in Mevoot Yam he proved it with a fascinating dialogue and active participation in training with the academy players. Manor left a strong impression on the academy players and members They will absorb what they experienced with him on the field and no less important than that off it. "
Daniel Sadeh, a player from the academy: "Very fun, we got a lot of inspiration. Manor is a role model for a young athlete who has progressed here in the country. It's a dream to get to the places he is in now. Great to see how he conducts himself on the field."
