“White” is able to “break the base” in front of Iran

The former national team player, the sports analyst, currently, Sibit Khater, confirmed that Sharjah is entering the Al -Ahly youth in the second leg of the AFC Champions League 2, and he has an advantage due to the result of the first leg, which ended in a draw for each of them at Rashid Stadium, last week, while he talked about the new list of the team chosen by Portuguese coach Paulo Pinto, recently, and that the opportunity is available to the current generation to break the base of the Iranian team during the Iranian team The upcoming confrontation in the World Cup spoilers.

Khater told «Emirates Today» that the return match between Sharjah and Al -Ahly’s youth will depend on small details, explaining: “I see that the result of the first match served the chances of Sharjah team more, as it provided a better level than all aspects of the two games in the first leg, and I actually expected this before the meeting that the preference will be in its interest, but there is a return match that requires a great effort from the two teams, and certainly the chances of Al -Ahly youth in qualification.”

As for the way of playing that suits each team to win, he said: “The way of playing will not differ much, each team will play in its way in which he played in the past matches, and the most important thing is the focus of the players during the second leg, as the simple details will make the difference, and the preference of the team that will win.”

On the other hand, he talked about the list chosen by Portuguese coach Paulo Pinto to play the national team matches against Iran and North Korea in the qualifiers of the Asian continent for the 2026 World Cup, and said: “The list included a group of new names, most notably Caio Lucas from Sharjah, so we live a realistic experience with the national team, through the presence of new players who provide a good addition to the group in the last period.”

And he added, “But in my view, if the team loses the presence of the Emirati player only, for me is better than the current experience, as Al -Abyad qualified for the 1990 World Cup with a team that includes only Emirati players.”

He continued: «The benefits of the experience do not prevent waiting and anticipation of what will happen in the coming period, studying its positives and negatives, and we see the number of players who participate in the Sunni and Reserve stages, and we cannot deny that there are positives, and we must wait to assess the experience completely.

Regarding his expectation of the two games, he said: “Every match we play with expectation is clear, if you play well, you will win, and if you do not appear in your well -known level, you will lose, so the current team is its problem that it does not have continuity, as the team achieved a great victory over the Qatar national team in the World Cup qualifiers before its level is unexpectedly declining in the Gulf Cup.”

He added, “We must play the two matches with the aim of winning, we have played many matches with the Iran team and historically our results are not good in front of it, but the opportunity is available to the current generation to break this rule, as they are 11 players and they will play against 11 players, and they must provide everything they have, and they can achieve a good result in Tehran.”

He continued: «Iran is characterized by strength and physical factor, and we must move away from competition in this aspect, and focus on playing the ball quickly, as we have better skills that we can benefit from, and excellence becomes in our interest, while the North Korea team played many matches, the matter is not different in terms of the importance of focusing on avoiding errors and the confidence of the players themselves and their capabilities to achieve victory.
