Aleppo-Sana
The Syrian national football team will meet its UAE counterpart tomorrow at seven in the evening at Al-Quwaimeh Stadium in the Jordanian capital, Amman, in the second match of the decisive round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
SANA’s sports reporter in Aleppo surveyed a sample of football experiences about our national team’s match with its Emirati counterpart, so their confidence in our team was present by providing a good performance and a positive result despite the loss against the Iranian team.
The former player and coach of the national team, Radwan Al-Abrash, said, “This match is one of the most important matches and is not divisible by two. It is possible to bypass the UAE team and collect the three points if the coach’s instructions are applied, and the style of play that was applied in the previous match will inevitably change, hoping that this version of the World Cup will be decorated with our qualification.” For the first time in the history of Syrian football.”
The former player and coach of Afrin, Anas Al-Sari, explained that stumbling against the Iranian team will be an important incentive for the players and the technical staff to give with all their strength to win, pointing out that it is necessary to take more risks from the offensive side, and there is no alternative but to win, expecting that the result will be positive and the victory will be the title of the meeting.
Al Wathba Youth coach Maher Dalati indicated that the Qasioun Eagles will rise up again and that the beginnings are always difficult and we will achieve the result that we all wish for, and we must focus on offensive play and open the lines more in order to achieve the three points from the UAE team.
The former goalkeeper and coach of the Al Wathba guards, Abdul Masih Donna, indicated that the starting point will be with the Emirates, and despite the limited preparation time, the team is in a relatively acceptable position and the three points are important to break the barrier of intimidation.
The international referee, Abdullah Basallo, considered that the match will be easier than the Iran match for several reasons, including that the UAE team in its previous match turned out to be not strong and that our team has many factors that give it an advantage, expecting to win for our team.
The media at Al-Ittihad Club, Mohamed Bawadaqji, confirmed that the match will be exciting and easy against the UAE team, and that victory will be ours if attention is paid to filling the gaps in the back lines, offensive focus and translating opportunities.
Our team will complete the decisive round matches on the seventh of next month, where it will meet with South Korea, then face Lebanon on the twelfth of the same month. It ends on the twenty-ninth of next March.
