Yuval Shabtay, the head coach and player of the Israeli national mini-football team, compared the world championship held in Baku to the World Cups held under the FIFA flag.
In an interview with "Report", he said that they consider it an honor for themselves to participate in this competition.
"It was a difficult game. Czech Republic was a better team than us. We were behind with a score of 0:4 until the end of the game. I thank Azerbaijan for the organization, for the warm welcome. The Azerbaijan Mini-Football Federation organized the competition magnificently. I would say that it is similar to the world championships organized by FIFA. We are touring Baku, it is a beautiful city, the people are good. It is an honor for us to be a part of this magnificent world championship," the football player said.
Y.Shabtay thinks that the Azerbaijani national team will be the winner of the world championship:
"I think that the favorite of the world championship is the Azerbaijani national team. Each of the players is superior to those in other teams. I also think it will be difficult to play against Serbia. All teams have a chance, but I think the Azerbaijani national team will be the champion."
It should be noted that the Israeli national team lost to the Czech Republic 1:4 in the 1/8 finals of the world championship yesterday and stopped the fight.
