Summary: Israel's youth team defeated France 1: 2 (Sport 1)

Across Europe, they reacted with complete surprise to the qualification of the youth team for the Euro final.

On the morning after the 1: 2 victory over France, the Israeli team starred on the sports sites of a variety of countries on the old continent.

As expected, in France they mainly emphasized the disappointment of the loss.

"France has fallen into Israel's trap," L'Equipe wrote.

"Although it reached the semi-finals as a clear favorite, France changed the lineup in a strange way and helped the Israelis surprise."

The French "Eurosport" noted that "Israel poured cold water on the French euphoria" and added that "Israel surprised and recorded a huge achievement, even though it looked much less quality on the lawn."

France national team coach Landry Schauben said at the end: "I am very disappointed for the players who invested their souls from May. We lacked dynamism and quality in attack, even though it was our strength throughout the tournament. We did not start the game as we wanted, and lost patience. Israel punished us. In the few opportunities that came to them, and hit us just as they hit other rivals in the championship, with a passing attack after losing a ball, and in a stationary position. Success in the final. "

Even outside France, they were surprised by the Israeli team.

The Serbian "Blick" stated that "this is a miracle that has not been seen in the history of the euro, an unprecedented sensation."

Der Kicker wrote that "the Israelis played bravely" and mentioned Ariel Lugassi as "agile", who they said, "was the outstanding actor", and in "S" they complimented Oscar Gluch that "he looked as dangerous as ever".

Portuguese journalist Francisco Souza wrote that "this is one of the most amazing tournaments I can ever remember of a small team at the UEFA Junior Championships.

Israel is not afraid to move a ball, it has creative players who know how to control the ball, it plays modern football and its defense is very organized.

There are some future stars there.

"Oscar Gluch, Ariel Lugassi and Eli Madmon stand out above all others and there is already interest in them in big clubs in Europe, and the French goalkeeper, Stav Lemkin and El Yam Kanzapolski also showed exceptional ability today."
