In Guy Luzon's darkest dreams he did not dream of opening his second term in Israel's youth team with an embarrassing loss to weak Latvia in the European Championship qualifiers, but the reality surpasses all imagination and the team lost tonight (Thursday) 1: 0 in Riga.
We will take away the fact that this is a humiliating loss to the team, which until this game recorded only a single victory in 22 games - and this is also against the Cicada San Marino - Luzon's team could not even score a single goal, in a game that was almost mostly controlled by Israel, and worst - the team probably Has ruined with her own feet one of her best campaigns in recent years.
True, the young team without a job, Gandelman, Leidner, and Kartzev is not the same team that achieved good results against Germany and Poland, but still - there is no excuse in the world for this embarrassing loss and certainly not to absorb such a goal more than 28 seconds from the start of the second half.
Now, Luzon and his players need to pray and hold fingers that Germany will beat Poland in the final round, otherwise they will be out of the playoffs.
Does anyone even remember that in this campaign we fought for first place?
sad.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
