Summary of Israel's 2: 2 home win against Iceland (Sport 1)

Botafogo and her fans prove to Eran Zehavi time and time again how much they want him to join the team.

This is not just the tempting financial offer submitted to him and is reportedly estimated at four million euros, and it is far beyond the tweet of one of the group's owners, John Textur, who called on the Israeli to "jump into the water of Botafogo".

Fans in Brazil are also flooding social media and Zehavi himself with requests to come, and now one of them even took the issue a step further and arrived on Thursday at the Haifa Municipal Stadium, for the Israeli national team's game against Iceland, wrapped in a Botafogo flag - a move that might help an Israeli "gamble" on The move to Brazil.

Zehavi of course did not play with the team on Thursday due to injury, and Maccabi Tel Aviv are still convinced that he will choose to stay in Israel and join them, but for Gabriel it did not change too much.

The current coach of Botafogo is the Portuguese Luis Castro, but last year he was still coaching in Qatar and when there were reports that he might move to Botafogo, he received a surprising visit from a number of fans who warmed his heart and helped with the persuasion campaign.

The one who decided to act in a similar way was Gabriel, who according to the report has been living in Haifa since last year and therefore decided to stand on the field wrapped in a Botafogo flag and therefore caused quite a bit of controversy.

Speaking to FogãoNET, Gabriel said: "I decided to come to Israel's game against Iceland and take a Botafogo flag with me because of the situation with Eran Zehavi, who is the biggest player in Israel. A lot of people approached me and asked me about Botafogo and the situation with Zehavi, and I thought it was amazing "They know Botafogo in the country. I told them there were negotiations and that I would be very happy for him to move to the team."
