If the French rail against this 0-0 against Israel, the visitors do not have the same opinion. After the 4-1 in the first leg, Israeli coach Ran Ben Shimon did not hide his satisfaction at having managed to take a point against the reigning world vice-champions.
“It’s an exceptional result, a first point, a first match without conceding a goal. We experienced an incredible battle and moments. I am very proud of this result. The objective was to move forward, not necessarily to take points, but to build and show that we could believe in ourselves. We were serious, we saw a team that wanted to bring results for its country and we want to thank the security services who protected us. Thank you to France for this welcome and to our community who came to support us“, he confided at a press conference.
