Despite the difficulties that our Olympic team found to achieve the victory over the Indian team (surprise) the Asian Cup under -23 qualifiers, with two goals to one goal yesterday evening in the eighth group, but Al -Annabi achieved the most important, which is the second victory and the group’s lead, to approach an important step from qualifying for the finals that will be held in Saudi Arabia next year.
The victory over the Indian team was important and necessary before the level and before the performance, especially the third round that will be held on Tuesday and the Al -Annabi gathered with Bahrain and India with Brunei is Al -Faisal in resolving the lead and direct qualification, away from the accounts of the four -position owners that occupy the second place in the 11 competing groups.
There are many reasons that made the second victory of Al -Annabi very difficult, the most important of which is nervous tension and fear of the lack of victory that explained to our players, especially after the success of the Indian team in the tie, and their desire was strong and large to reach the goal in order to score goals and resolve the confrontation, which affected the technical performance and the accuracy of passes.
But the insistence of Al -Annabi players and their possession of a strong determination that does not know despair, and the changes made by his Portuguese coach Valley, eventually helped the team achieve the most difficult victory over the team that has developed a lot and combines good performance and speed and also between the enthusiasm that made him play with ten players after the expulsion of one of his defenders without showing negative effects.
The changes made by the coach were not due to the poor condition of some players, but the change was necessary to bring about the creation of the Indian defense, which imposed strict censorship on the top scorer of Al -Annabi Mustafa Al -Sayed, and the substitute subscription was an important and rapid transformation, especially after the substitute Noureddine succeeded in the first attempt to penetrate the defense and obtain the penalty that resulted in the second goal and the goal of victory.
This difficult victory made Al -Annabi approach the finals, but it was not decided permanently and officially in particular and direct confrontations are Al -Faisal and not the difference of goals, and therefore the Bahrain match has become very important, and it must be played to win it and get its points even though the tie is enough for our team, and this is the danger, especially as we mentioned, the direct confrontations are Al -Faisal and not the difference of goals and thus, the 15 goals that we scored in our goal Brunei and India may not have any value in the last round.
Al -Annabi must bear in mind that the Bahrain match is a real and powerful test, and to play in two chances of the most dangerous things, unlike playing with one opportunity, which is the victory that is often better, so Al -Annabi must think only in winning Bahrain and not focusing on a tie.
