What is calculated for our Olympic team is its qualification with merit and merit and the full mark of the Asian Cup finals in Saudi Arabia. He is also calculated for him his insistence, determination, enthusiasm and success in the heart of his delay with a goal to a deserved victory in the second half with two goals for a goal against Bahrain.
The qualification was difficult for the Olympic Annabi, and almost not to enter the team itself in the circle of accounts of the best second place, had it not been for God’s destiny, he did not draw and lost, for many reasons, the most important of which is that the Portuguese Ihdia de Vali coach Al -Annabi clarified from the first minutes that he wanted to play for a draw and get the point of qualification, almost paid our team the price dear He succeeded in winning and qualifying for merit and merit.
Al -Annabi turned from defensive keenness to offensive playing after his goal was with the Bahraini goal, and his success in a tie and then victory, gave us hope in seeing the best of our team in the next stage.
The Olympic Annabi through the qualifying journey has proven that he has good elements that have earned a good experience of playing with its teams in the Doha Bank Stars League and this experience must increase and get a greater chance in the next stage
These elements are good and have good capabilities that help her to achieve the championship after they qualified for the finals, but the matter needs more preparation, more experiences, and more work, to develop performance, especially collective performance, in order to reach a better level commensurate with his presence alongside the strongest and best 15 teams in the continent who seek to compete for the title, and to follow the first burgundy plan that achieved historical achievement by winning the Asian Cup 2019 And 2023
We must admit that the qualifiers included a very weak difference, and also included strong teams, but those who qualified for the finals are the elite of the continent and they are the best and the strongest and conflict in front of them needs special specifications, and to different numbers, so that we do not go and bid farewell to the first roles or do not compete for the title, and this is the task of the coach Ihid Du Valley who has led Al -Annabi since 2023 and participated with them in the 2024 edition in Doha and could not Competition and lost to Japan in the quarter -finals, and he knows all big and small about Al Annabi, players and Qatari football, as well as for competitors in the finals, and he can reach Al Annabi to the level and readiness that helps him to compete and achieve the title.
