Israel's young team will gather today (Monday) and begin preparations for the critical game on Friday against the Irish team, in the playoff phase of the European Championship, when the winner of the two games will qualify for the Euros.
The new faces in the team, which will fly to Ireland tomorrow, are the newly invited ones: Hisham Laios, El Yam Kanzpolsky, Bar Cohen, Noam Malmud and Tai Abed.
The coach of the national team, Guy Luzon, said today at a press conference ahead of the pair of games: "We are starting to prepare. This is a new team, which has undergone a lot of changes and is not similar to the one that played in most of the campaign for one reason or another. We will have to use the time we have to prepare the team on a tactical and mental level. We go into the first half of the battle and we will do everything to move the decision here, fill Bloomfield and make history."
"The team is not a one-man show. We will need everyone at their best," the coach continued, "Not only is there a missing end, also Gendelman is important to the team and is injured, and Lorient is not active at the moment, and players have been called up to the senior team, but we deal with whoever is available - and whoever is with us is the most deserving ".
"The staff here hasn't trained together yet, so we don't know about the team. We have a short time and we'll have to be very focused and focused. I'm sure the players understand the importance of the task, and as someone who has already experienced the European Championship, it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and I'm sure they'll want to experience it. Roll with us in the squad because he deserves it."
Ziv Morgan, the defender of KS added: "Our goal as footballers is to make adjustments very quickly and to always be ready, even if it means playing with players we have not played with before.
We have 180 minutes to qualify for the Euros."
Al Yam Kanzpolski, who will make her debut as a young woman, also said: "We will try to connect as much as possible and do the best, because there is no feeling like participating in the European Championship - it is an experience for a lifetime.
I will do everything to help the team reach the goal."
