Team Strategy Discussion in Football

We found a sukkah in Debrecen, at the Chabad House.

At Rabbi Shmuel Feigin's, who's in charge of the entire

community, uh, the Jews here, uh, in the area.

Even a decorated sukkah, an Israeli flag, and all the things

that we Jews need. Simply delightful.

Ran Ben Shimon gathers the players for several meetings, bringing small groups together

defense, midfield, and attack to try to understand what's not working

from his perspective as well. He spent quite a bit of time on this video with his staff

and decided, uh, to change the approach a bit. Meaning, no more players

who are highly technical, bring the ball to their feet, and make moves on their own,

but rather players who come to work on the pitch,

put in the effort, and be aggressive. That's what our national team lacked,

both in the match against Austria and, uh, in the match against Ireland.

Ben Shimon drew that conclusion. It means that senior players

were dropped to the bench. He made a change today, um,

taking the players to a meeting, which isn't his usual practice.

Usually, he doesn't do these things and says, Ran is taking all the heat, all the arrows

the criticism, and that's fine, but each of you

bears some responsibility. I know you from the Mundialito, from the youth national teams, from the time

you started playing football, back in my previous role.

I know the character we have here. I know the talent we have here, so I want you

to truly understand what happened against Ireland and come to the match against

Kosovo to restore your honor, but also to keep this

campaign alive.
