Tiktuknu: Summary of the day in sports, 19.9 (Sport1)

The Israeli national team held a training session this evening (Monday) for the home game against Albania on Saturday (9:45 p.m.), as part of the group stage of the Nations League.

A victory will elevate Alon Hazan and his players to the head of the house and give them a ticket to the playoffs for promotion to the Euro.

Forward Sean Weissman stood in front of the microphones before the start of practice.

"To be the first striker? Whatever the professional team decides. I am here for the team and will do everything to win and finish first," said Weissman.

"It's fun to be interviewed in Hebrew, I haven't spoken Hebrew in a long time, it's fun and thank God I'm healthy and the injury is behind me, I hope to do everything necessary."

A Valladolid player continued: "Whoever is here is the best in the country, the team chose him carefully and he deserves everyone. I believe that we will do what is assigned to us and with God's help we will do it and we will succeed. The disadvantages? Unfortunately this is part of life, some are injured, some are removed and we have to deal with Whatever is there, we have no way to change it and I really think that Mime Shepa is really the best and most deserving, and can fill the place properly."

Will he forget Zahavi's lack?

Weissman, whose responsibility has increased due to the absence of Eran Zahavi, who as I recall was not called up due to the room affair, said: "I don't feel pressure, I was waiting for this moment when I could be the first striker, if I really will be the first striker. I love playing football, that's what I know do from a young age and I will continue to do it for as many years as I can."

At the end, the striker referred to the opponent on Saturday, which the Israeli national team beat 1:2 away in the current campaign: "We showed that we can beat Albania, that we are a good team. We will do everything to come prepared. I would love to see a lot of flags here in Bloomfield and it will be a great experience, we are looking forward to it, I believe in the team very much. Manor Solomon? It's a shame, this is an opportunity to wish him a full recovery and a speedy return, it sucks for him and we all would like him to be here, and I hope he gets healthy as soon as possible."
