They pointed out that «there are many negatives in the national team revealed by the Iran match, among them its appearance without identity, away from harmony, as well as the involvement of players in the squad that do not play essential with their teams, such as Harib Abdullah, Yahya Al -Ghassani and Abdullah Ramadan, and the lack of benefit from the presence of influential elements such as Luan Pean, in addition to the way the play that the Portuguese coach pursued in the Iran match was not perfect. The lack of good preparation for the national team, while there was a single positive, which was the participation of Caio Lucas for the first time in the white shirt. ”

Normal

The former national team supervisor and technical analyst, Dr. Hassan Suhail, said that “what happened to the team, the imam of Iran is normal for the short preparation period, although Al -Abyad is playing a strong match that required a better preparation.”

He added, “The coach of the national team should have asked to stop the league and local benefits in order to prepare the team well.”

He continued, “One of the most prominent negative points revealed by the Iran match is that the team appeared without identity, as it seemed heterogeneous, and every player also looked at the field does not know what to do, as well as wasting the opportunities, unlike the Iranian team, and this is the result of the lack of good preparation, besides that the coach of the Pinto must realize that not every player who is chosen for the team can play essential Al -Douri, like Sultan Adel, Haret Abdullah and Yahya Al -Ghassani, so that they did not appear on the field with high technical capabilities, to move away from playing basic.

“The team started these qualifiers with a different squad, and it also appeared in the Iran match with a different squad from the one that started the qualifiers, and the team seemed to be the most trial team for the players, while it is assumed that these experiences are not during the World Cup qualifiers.”

He continued, “Although the team’s chances have declined significantly, but hope is still present, especially in terms of qualification through the attachment, but this matter requires preparation and good focus, and despite that our hope is great in qualifying for the World Cup.”

Many negative points

For his part, the former director of the football team in Al-Nasr Club and the technical analyst, Khaled Obaid, said that “the team’s chances of directly qualifying for the World Cup declined after losing to Iran, in exchange for Qatar’s victory over North Korea 5-1, and that the team with this loss made the task for itself, while we were waiting for Pinto to play against Iran to a tie so that he could score a point to jump with his ranking to 11 points.”

“There are several negative points that the team came out of the Iran match, the first of which is that Pinto’s accounts in the match were not correct, as he did not play a tie against Iran, so the team’s net received two goals because of the gameplay that Pinto pursued during the match, which is the open play method, although he faces the Iranian national team, the ranking and the stars, and in its land and in front of its fans.”

He added, “One of the negative points is also that the team did not take advantage of the presence of influential players in the team, such as Luan Pereira, who plays essential with his team, Sharjah. Basic with his team against no. ”

“The only positive point that the team came out in this match is the participation of Caio Lucas,” Khaled Obaid continued. Khaled Obaid continued, “The team’s chances of directly qualifying for the World Cup, although they exist, are now more difficult, dependent on luck, and waiting for the results of others to be served in the group.”

He continued: «The only option of the team is to win the next match against North Korea, after which the last two rounds will be considered, but if it does not win North Korea, the dream of qualifying for the World Cup will be dispersed even through the attachment, because Qatar has an easy task against Kyrgyzstan in the next round.

The fortune has retreated

In turn, the national football coach and the former international player, Nawaf Mubarak, said that “the team’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup have declined a lot, but they are still present as long as there are three remaining rounds in the qualifiers, and the circumstances can serve the national team in the remaining rounds.” He added: «In the event that the team wants to qualify for the World Cup, there is no other option in front of him except winning all the three matches against North Korea, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan, and waiting for him to serve him the results of other teams in the group.

Nawaf Mubarak continued: “The defensive system is one of the negative points in the national team, and the national team lacks scoring goals.”

He continued, “The only positivity revealed by the Iran match was the participation of Caio Lucas, which is a gain for the team, but he needs the presence of elements with him to help him, and I think he should have been invested in the presence of influential elements in the team.”
