The audience applause for the Palestinian national team appreciate the insistent and unyielding . In the middle of a war , Palestine was able to increase the level of their game , surpassing the achievements of Indonesia that the country is relatively calm postscript and more financially secure . What's more , the competition and financially , better than Indonesia 's Islamic state .
According to Hussam Younis , Palestinian national team manager , what they show you in this time ISG can describe how they build football .
" We have a few years began to develop football . Results tonight ( Wednesday night , Red ) reflects how seriously we develop football , " he said when met before leaving the stadium .
Younis admitted , in truth there are still many problems that plague the coaching program the Palestinian football federation . One of the most troubling is the war against Israel . In fact , he added , has a lot of seeds Palestinian footballer who is no less with other countries .
" Our football coaching is hampered . But , we are not silent . We kept trying to go forward despite the occupation is happening in our country is quite disturbing , " said the resident of Ramallah .
They start coaching from an early age . Now they have a national team U - 14 , U - 16 , U - 19 , U - 21 and U - 23 . The last team that is deployed in the ISG III in Palembang . They were filtered out of the competitions held in each province .
The war also does not prevent the Palestinians to continue to build sports infrastructure . " We had a good field in each province . Average two field with high standards . If a small field , in every district there . We create competition , we monitor them , " he said .
Although in a state of war , the soccer players and other sports athletes remain diligent practice . They like to ignore the conditions experienced by the country . In fact , when the bullets strafe the place to practice though .
" If you like it , we quickly went into hiding to save themselves , " he said .
Younis admitted , financially they are very understaffed. Therefore, inevitably, the athletes must practice with makeshift facilities .
" For this we follow the ISG is using state funds . But , the numbers do not amount to much. Importantly , we can perform here , " said Younis .
Meanwhile , Bader Makky , media manager of POC ( Palestine Olympic Committee ) said that the departure of the Palestinian contingent to the ISG as part of their struggle to maintain national pride . POC wanted to show that as a sovereign state , the Palestinians still exist .
" We struggled through the sport that the whole world knows that the Palestinians exist as a sovereign state . We will not give up with what's happening now , " said Bader .
Bader confirmed , they struggle to build heavy exercise . Because the means of exercise for those sports outside of football has not been much . In addition , the financial condition of finite state requires them to be able to get around practice . One of these joint training program .
" We had a friendly country , which helped us to develop the sport . Having said that, we do not just train athletes in the country . Many who train abroad , " he said .
" There are athletes who train with us in Jordan , Egypt , Qatar , and even to Norway . Rather, they remain Palestinian athletes . Currently we needed , they will join the team , as in the ISG , " he added .
Bader acknowledged that Islamic countries show solidarity by providing assistance to sports coaching . It made enough POC helped to continue to develop the sport in Palestine .
" We did not give up with what is happening in our country . Precisely us more motivated to show that we can also compete in the sport . Athletes we are fighters , " he said .
How much funding was spent POC to dispatch Palestinian athletes to ISG " Bader would not mention the amount. However , he did not make sure the number of Indonesian budget prepared .
He was amazed by the ability of ISG held in Palembang Indonesia . Palestine , said Bader , can not organize major sporting events such as in Indonesia. "Indonesia great . ISG We applaud the administration this time , " he said .
Tweedledum and Tweedledee , Syria also has the same problem with the Palestinians . They are now civil war . Even so , a contingent of Syria are among the most eager to follow the Games every four years it .
" Let the war happen , we want to keep the attention of sports coaching . Avoid exercising halt the war , " said Ahmad Alkhutoba , sport karate coach Syria .
