Disappointment in Israel's youth team after the loss tonight (Thursday) 68:62 to Serbia in the quarterfinals of the European Under-18 Championship in Izmir.
Despite the loss, Elad Hassin Ad's team did not lose the chance to qualify for the first time in history for the Under-19 World Championship to be held next summer in Hungary.
For that, Israel will have to win the ranking games and finish in fifth place.
The road there will start on Saturday with a match against Italy.
"Not an easy result," said Hossein.
"We led and played great in the first half, but in the second half we ran out of gas. I'm very proud of all the players. They gave everything and sometimes big games are decided on rebounds, penalties and small things. Disappointing but we're facing forward. We'll pick up the guys and get ready for the game against Italy in the ranking games".
