Iraq’s Spanish coach, Jesus Casas, confirmed that his team will play in a different way in the upcoming confrontation against Bahrain, today, noting that player Mustafa Saadoun will be among the starting lineup.
Casas said in a press conference yesterday: “I will definitely not play with the same squad that participated against Yemen.” “Every match has its own circumstances and plans.”
He affirmed his confidence and adherence to Saadoun, despite the criticism the player was subjected to due to what was described as the mistake he committed against Yemen.
Casas said, “Saadoun made one mistake, yet he was subjected to a lot of criticism, and this affected him, but he deserves to be in the national team.” “All players make mistakes.”
The Spanish coach considered that the Bahraini and Iraqi teams are similar in capabilities and style of play, “so it will be a strong match.”
