National team player Hareb Abdullah expressed his great happiness with the “Whites’” victory over the Asian champion Qatar national team 3-1, at the start of the decisive World Cup qualifiers, stressing that all his teammates performed well and showed a great desire to win and return to the Emirates with full points before meeting the Iranian national team in the second round.
Harb, who won the best player award in the match, said that the team was able to deal with the course of the match well, and succeeded in the second half in changing its course and scoring three goals that enabled it to obtain the three points.
For his part, Paulo Bento, the technical director of the UAE national football team, expressed his happiness with the victory achieved by his team over the host, the Qatari national team.
In a statement during the press conference following the match, Pinto appreciated the efforts of all the UAE national team players to achieve victory, noting the players’ performance throughout the match, especially in the second half.
The Portuguese coach said, “In the first half, attempts were focused on applying pressure in the final third of the opponent’s field, and there was great suffering at the level of the back lines. Some changes were made in the second half, and the pressure on the opponent and control of the midfield resulted in turning the deficit in the score, and succeeding in launching attacks and reaching the Qatari team’s goal through the flanks.”
The UAE national team coach explained that he tried to find successful ways to ensure that the team would change the course of the match, which is what actually happened in the second half, noting that the instructions he gave to the players were implemented in the best possible way.
