The Israeli team encountered a high hurdle tonight (Thursday) in the form of the Danish team, in a game that opened the 2022 World Cup qualifying campaign.
“We knew the level differences, but I didn’t see them on the field,” he said Eran Zehavi At the end. “We had a lot of good minutes, we absorbed a goal and then more good minutes and another goal. To win a team like this we have to be on a perfect day and they are on a less good day, this time it is not this day.”
The striker added: “With such mistakes we can not go anywhere. If we had conquered it could have been different. We are one team for better or worse, this is the first time after a long time that we do not conquer.”
“Everyone has the same schedule. Also to Scotland. We met them five or six times. I think there was not a single player on the field who did not give 200 percent, but there are level differences. We gave too much respect and did not go all the way to exert pressure. At these levels one also has to deal with one on one. It’s hard for me to say we played badly, there are differences in qualities and that’s what decided the game. I’m proud of our game, there were a lot of good minutes. We do not have so many players at the levels that the players of Denmark play at. When we are there, we will talk, “Zehavi concluded.
