Big celebrations in Israel's youth team after the victory in penalties this evening (Tuesday) over Ireland, which advanced them to the European Under-21 Championship that will take place next year.
Guy Luzon said after the game: "We were worth a victory long before, but we didn't succeed and went to penalties. In penalties, I always believe that everything will be fine. It's an unusual experience. I'm happy for all the thousands of children who were here. The Israeli audience voted with their feet. I arranged for all the Israelis a vacation in Bucharest I believed even after the loss to Latvia that we could do it. In life, not everything goes smoothly and not everything happens the way you want, but when I spoke for the first time with Oren Hasson, I told him that I believe I can bring the team to the Euros and I'm glad I did.
"There are a lot of stigmas and talk about the character of our players, so I'm happy for these players," added the coach.
"I went through a lot of games, but the anthem today made me cry, it was wow."
Regarding the viral video in which the camera caught him slapping Zio Morgan, Luzon replied with a smile: "It wasn't a slap to Zio Morgan, it was a caress. When I slap you, you feel it."
