    Israel coach Luis Fernandez wants his men to dig deep in order to pick up a win in their Euro 2012 qualifier against Georgia on Tuesday.

    The Blue and Whites ran out 2-1 winners against Latvia on Saturday and can kick-start their qualifying campaign with another victory in Tel Aviv.

    The 51-year-old tactician knows the Georgians will make life tough for his side, but wants them to work hard and churn out a result.

    “The Georgians are a tough side, they beat Croatia 1-0 and they are capable of playing good football,” he said to FIFA.com.

    “It will be very tough for us, and for some players to turn out for a second time in four days will be very difficult. However, if we beat Georgia on Tuesday we will be in a good situation.”

    Israel are fourth in Group F with seven points and can leapfrog Georgia with a win tomorrow evening.
