During the holiday, the Israeli national team summarized the last gathering and qualification for the Nations League playoffs as "successful, and one that meets all professional goals."
The reason for this is of course the 3:2 victory over Albania, but also the fact that several young and new players, such as Thay Bribo, participated.
The impressive integration of Dolev Haziza and the character that the team showed against the Albanians, are something that Yossi Benyon and Alon Hazan are taking forward towards the draw for the Euro qualifiers, in which Israel will be ranked in tier B and will, in all likelihood, win a more reasonable draw.
Beside all these, the name of the striker Eran Zahavi is still on the agenda.
In the football association, and around the team itself, they made it clear throughout the last few days: "The door is open to Eran Zahavi, and everyone wants him in the team at the next gathering."
Along with these things, the association will try to initiate a compromise that will please all parties, although it is not yet clear how this will happen.
Zahavi himself allegedly hinted in recent days about his position on social networks.
Beyond that, senior players in the national team praised the handling of the workload and the release they received from the game in Malta.
"It is obvious that Hazan and Banyon were players and understand the situation," some of them said.
"There are players here who have played every three days since July, and those who will continue to play with high frequency during the next two months as well. As soon as we completed the task, they went towards the players - which is important. This will give us strength to reach the next tasks with all our strength."
By the way, now that the tasks of the young team are over, the professional team of the senior team marked goalkeeper Daniel Peretz and midfielder Oskar Gloch
for the Euro qualifying tournament, and they are expected to be part of the senior squad as part of the rejuvenation process, along with names like Aden Kartsev, Liel Abda and Doron Leidner , who have already played against Albania.
