Before Israel's World Cup qualifier against Italy, Israel's national team coach Ben Simon was interviewed.

Israel has already won 3 wins and 1 loss in this World Cup qualifier. Ben Simon first said: "We can't relax. The last game against Moldova gave me a lot of thought, and the substitutes also performed well, from the first minute to the last minute."

Ben Simon continued: "I will not use a specific tactical system for tomorrow's game against Italy, so I can't be sure whether we will use a four-back or a five-back formation because I have not decided yet."

Finally Ben Simon said: "We have played against Italy last season (European League), and we know them well."
