The cards are up…and our goal is the same: to qualify for the World Cup

Qatar national team coach, the Spanish Julen Lopetegui, confirmed that facing the UAE national team tomorrow, Tuesday, represents a real and difficult test for both teams, stressing that “Al Annabi” enters the match with only one goal, which is to achieve victory and secure a qualification ticket to the World Cup.

Lopetegui said in the press conference: “We worked hard in the previous period for this match, which we know very well the value of winning, simply because it will take us to the World Cup. The team showed high readiness during the preparation period, and everyone is motivated to give their best.
The Spanish coach added: The confrontation will be open because the cards are open between the two teams. They know everything about us, and we know a lot about them, so I expect a strong match full of small details that will decide the result.
In response to the UAE’s superiority in the last two matches, Lopetegui said: “The current match is completely different, as it will determine the identity of the team that qualifies for the World Cup, while the previous two matches have become a thing of the past.”

We trust judgment and focus on ourselves
And his opinion about the arbitration team and the UAE national team coach’s demand for the necessity of achieving arbitration justice
Lopetegui explained: “We trust the referee’s abilities and decisions, and we wish him success in managing the match. We do not focus on the work of the referees, but rather on our work on the field. Each party is doing its role to the fullest.”
