I know Săpunaru from the team of boys, he told us to play as a team, to play beautiful, to win and to promote. I play in the far right or the far left, I like to give goals and run a lot. When I give a goal it is a feeling that cannot be explained in words, I am very glad that I have helped my team.

I run in samples of 100 meters and 200 meters, so in speed samples. It helps me athletics for football. To play for the national team of Israel is an extraordinary pride, it is my biggest achievement. I worked a lot for this and I am the happiest to be part of that team.

I finished school a year ago and said I was going to America for university but after I decided to go to the army. I'm leaving in the summer in Israel, something new begin there. I'm ready, I'm not afraid to fight.

I mean, I would give my life for Israel, I feel no fear. The military internship lasts three years. I do not know where I will be distributed, but in October I will have physical tests and see what unit I send me, “said Ziv Guttman, according to sport.ro.
