Former national team player and technical analyst, Subit Khater, said that “Al-Abyad” showed a good performance during their match with Kyrgyzstan, which was held the day before yesterday in the fifth round of the Asian qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup finals, noting that the signs of victory appeared through the squad that played. The team played the match, pointing out that this is the first match in the World Cup qualifiers in which the team did not concede any goals, while the team scored three goals, which is a positive thing that calls for optimism about the team’s future. And his ability to achieve the dream of reaching the World Cup.
The national team defeated Kyrgyzstan 3-0, raising its score to seven points, three points behind the second-placed Uzbekistan team with 10 points, while the Iranian team strengthened its lead in the group with 13 points.
Subit Khater stressed that the combat performance, high spirit, defensive commitment, and offensive power are behind the team’s superiority over Kyrgyzstan, wondering about the ability of the “Whites” to complete the march at the same level in the event of Caio Canedo’s absence due to injury, stressing the importance of searching for an honest striker in this situation. The timing is important, especially since the players who scored the national team’s goals against Kyrgyzstan did not include an outright striker.
Subit Khater added to “Emirates Today”: “The lineup with which the team played the Kyrgyzstan match witnessed some surprises presented by coach Paulo Pinto, especially the participation of Mohammed Al-Attas from the beginning in the starting lineup, instead of Kwame Koidu, especially since Kwame participated in the previous match as a player.” Basically, we were also surprised by the presence of Marcus Millioni in the left-back position, even though he participated in previous matches as a midfielder.”
Subait Khater described Mackenzie Hunt as the best midfield player during the match.
He added: “We also saw the distinguished performance of the player Lima, and we had seen him as a substitute player in most of the previous matches, and I am surprised that the coach did not play him as a starter, as he is an important player, and I consider him the secret to the team’s control of the Kyrgyzstan match from the beginning.”
He continued: “A beautiful thing is that we are watching the player Harib Abdullah in this distinctive and radiant form, through the hidden roles he played in the first half, whether on the defensive or offensive level.”
Subit Khater said: “The team is on the right path and is capable of reaching the furthest point.”
He described the team’s next match against Qatar as difficult and requiring great preparation, stressing that the players are capable of reaching the desired goal, which is qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
He continued: “With regard to performance, there are those who wonder whether the national team performed well, or whether the Kyrgyz national team is a mediocre team, but what is important for me in this matter is to obtain the three points, and to move forward in collecting points and continuing the journey, and achieving the dream of reaching To the World Cup, so we must not look at the performance, but rather the result is the most important and comes first.
When asked about the player who would be given the “white card” that expresses outstanding performance in the Kyrgyzstan match, Subit Khater confirmed that most of the team’s players appeared well and formed an excellent work system, pointing out that if he were able to award the “red card” in this match, he would award it for the first time. The first is for the audience, as he expected a larger attendance than he did at the match.
In response to a question about the extent of the team’s ability to continue winning to reach the desired goal, Subait Khater said: “There is nothing impossible in football, and a lesson must be taken from the Saudi team, which defeated Argentina in the last edition of the World Cup finals, even though the team “Argentina includes some of the best names in the world, but performance and dedication on the field is what makes any team capable of winning.”
Subit Khater called on all the team players to focus and trust in the ability to achieve the desired goal.
Subait Khater concluded his speech by saying: “The potential that I saw from the player Hareb Abdullah calls for admiration and optimism. He is a player who possesses distinguished abilities, and he must continue the good work and perseverance in training, and he is capable of being a difficult number.”
