Bahrain’s coach, Croatian Dragan Talajic, said that his team has a difficult task ahead of it today in the “Gulf 26” final against the Oman national team, which ousted Saudi Arabia from the tournament. He added in a press conference yesterday: “I am proud of all the players and happy to reach the final, which will be very difficult. We respect the Oman national team very much. “It is a team that plays beautiful football, it is a difficult team, and it won against Saudi Arabia, and it will certainly be a difficult match.” Talajic said that his arrival to the final was the result of hard work and the quality of his players. Regarding the absence of player Mahdi Abdul-Jabbar, who was suspended from the final match, he said that he was very sad about this matter, “not because he is unable to find an alternative, but because Abdul-Jabbar is an important player and he is one of this wonderful group.”
