1. The Israeli staff was humiliated yesterday in opposition to the Hungarian staff. Ran Ben Shimon has mitigating circumstances, so to talk: he got here up with a secondary car, the nationwide staff’s gamers had been usually centered on rescuing the kidnapped (and rightfully so) – however nothing justifies the underside line. The staff regarded within the first half like a group of gamers from an novice league – with the eyes of many spectators on the take a look at match to see how Hungary prepares for the Euros, it was embarrassing to see how the gamers stroll on the grass.
True, the staff’s loss was pushed apart a bit, and there are good causes for that: Israel returned the kidnapped individuals residence yesterday, and perhaps that is even Ben Shimon’s luck. One of many gamers I spoke with tonight instructed me that “even we had been stunned by the lineup within the last coaching session, we did not suppose it could prove like that for the sport.”
2. It needs to be remembered that that is Ben Shimon’s first recreation and it’s a take a look at of instruments, however he is aware of he was improper: Yoav Hoffmeister as a beginning stopper within the Israeli nationwide staff is at finest a tragic joke and fortuitously the Hungarians selected to take their foot off the gasoline, in any other case it could have led to a horrible humiliation.
It’s tough for the staff with out them. Eran Zahavi and Menor Solomon (Shlomi Gabai)
In Ben Shimon’s setting, they made it clear yesterday that many of the staff’s gamers won’t be within the squad for the upcoming video games in any respect. If Ben Shimon knew this, why did he go up so disproportionately a lot, and extra so in his debut look on the traces? One of many worrying issues he stated is that everybody who was on the grass belongs to the extent of the nationwide staff. Does Ben Shimon not see a lot of gamers within the squad who don’t belong there? Is that this actually the extent of the Israeli nationwide staff? His goalkeeper, Omri Glazer, realized it on the finish. He defined that the staff offers an excessive amount of respect and he’s proper. “From the sixtieth minute we noticed soccer,” stated Glazer later, “we stood nicely defensively.” He most likely forgot that soccer is performed for 90 minutes.
Ben Shimon, who deserves credit score for the truth that he discovered classes rapidly, made modifications (Nahmias, Spuri, Gordana) that led to stabilization later, is ready to welcome Sean Goldberg (with the Olympic staff) again. It is extremely potential that we are going to not see Eran Zahavi, Miguel Vitor and different veteran gamers sooner or later (Menor Solomon, as I bear in mind, is injured), and the query is whether or not Ben Shimon’s staff just isn’t going by way of a too radical course of. On the one hand, the younger gamers are the way forward for the staff, however then again – the veteran squad is kind of mediocre and doesn’t look promising.
3. Lest or not it’s misunderstood – Ben Shimon is a superb coach, top-of-the-line we’ve got in Israeli soccer, however he made a mistake yesterday and may have gone up with a special, extra balanced staff. True, he has a restrict of gamers within the squad, and nonetheless – the staff yesterday regarded like a group of unrelated gamers, slightly than a nationwide staff. Perhaps Ben Shimon ought to suppose twice earlier than calling the subsequent staff. He’ll go up in opposition to Belarus on Tuesday, realizing it’s his final important preparation earlier than the video games in opposition to Belgium and Italy in September.
Ben Shimon should end his device experiment proper now and make a change on the defensive facet. A month later, we are going to host (not at residence, in fact) the French nationwide staff. All that must be considered now could be find out how to get by way of these three video games with respect, with out being humiliated by the excuse that France is “a staff on the degree of the Euro finals”.
