Yihii al-Gasani, a football player of the national team, expressed admiration for the strong unity he observed in the team in the days leading up to the match against Kyrgyzstan. He explained that entering the matches of the eight-team tournament 'Adnok' was beneficial for the team, as head coach Paulo Bento allocated more time for preparation for the game.
"The support of everyone, starting with the professional league and clubs, had a huge impact on the victory in the match, which strengthened the chances of the 'national team' qualifying for the 2026 World Cup," said al-Gasani to the journalists.
The player affirmed that the victory over Kyrgyzstan put the team back on the right track, adding: "We achieved an important victory, and the main thing is to be focused, concentrated, and to enhance our strengths because an important match with Qatar awaits us in a few days. The match requires concentration, determination, and an increase in our strengths."
Al-Gasani continued, saying: "We have everything in our hands, the match with Qatar will be important, concentration is required, and we tell the fans that we will give everything from ourselves."
