Niv Debrat reports after the defeat of the Israeli national team 4:1 to Iceland/Niv Debrat
Part of the chronicle of the well-known failure of the Israeli national team in recent years includes at one point or another a flame-throwing speech by Sagi Cohen.
The sports channel commentator whose interpretation is not always considered to be the consensus, who in the past harshly attacked coaches of the Israeli national team (especially remembered for his attack on Andy Herzog), did it again last night (Thursday) after the humiliating 4:1 loss to Iceland.
This time, it seems, even McCatergio couldn't help but agree with him.
"54 years of disappointments produce quite a few moments that burn. From the game in New Zealand to 'That's not how you build a wall', from Andy Herzog's goal to 'It Ain't Funny Anymore'. From Zahavi's miss in Scotland to Klinger's miss against Colombia - none of them Doesn't compare to what we saw tonight. Tonight we didn't lose to the opponent, we lost to the egos of Yossi Benyon and Alon Hazan. Alon Hazan, you're the head, you're guilty, go," Cohen said on "News of Sport", in a monologue that made waves online.
Sharp criticism, which touched many.

Cohen accused Hazan and Benyon of stubbornness and mental fixation, and like many others he failed to understand what the benching of Oskar Gloch, probably the greatest Israeli talent today, and who has already proven himself in games both in Red Bull Salzburg's uniform in the Champions League, and in the national team's uniform, meant.
"The senseless insistence on playing 4-3-3 in almost every match of the campaign. The insistence on playing with Dor Peretz as a 6 when he is not number 6, and you have a player like Neta Lavi. The insistence on playing without Oskar Gloch, the current senior Israeli legionnaire," Cohen listed The mistakes according to Hazan and Benion.
"Imagine if the Icelanders would have gone up to play without Gudmundsson, who scored a hat trick. That's what we did today."

Cohen concluded: "There is no explanation for this benching. The only explanation for this is the same explanation we gave when Eran Zahavi stayed out of the team because of hotel room issues - it's the stubbornness of Yossi Benyon and Alon Hazan. There is no other explanation for this."
