We have great hope!

• A friendly loss by two goals from Australia before the Asian finals; It is not a catastrophic matter, because the coach is counting on correcting the mistakes in the other friendly match against Angola. I believe that Pizzi did not want to reveal all his cards in front of a team superior to him in terms of advantage and experience. That would reveal it to the Koreans!
• The Kangaroo players’ advantage is clear in Saturday’s experience, because he brought in some of the best professionals in the European leagues, and he wants it to be a rehearsal. Before he travels to Doha, because meeting our team is (the most important) for him, considering that our team is considered one of the strongest in Asia. Since he started competing to advance to the World Cup finals via the playoffs.
• Unlike Captain Ray (Pizzi); The majority of analysts believe that our team did not keep up with the Australians. They disagreed with his opinion regarding the formation he appeared in against the Australians, and that the mistakes that accompanied the performance indicated a lack of preparation and harmony. In fact, the exclamation point is that the competitive matches locally for some of them are few!
• We do not want to make Pizzi wrong in his choices; Because he is supposed to have chosen his list with conviction, and out of sympathy for watching them in the league, and therefore the focus is supposed to be greater and final; Because we are a few days away from the first match against South Korea, and the match (Angola) is supposed to come through the formation that we will start with in Asia.
• Analysts showed a discrepancy with Pizzi regarding some of the key positions in the national team. But he builds it according to his vision and according to the style he will play in the finals, but these analysts and viewers are hasty in judging, so the discrepancy will be wide, but in the end the opinions will be (consistent) after the mistakes against Angola disappear!
• In any case, we must be more optimistic about our players and our team when it begins its campaign against South Korea on the 15th of this month, even if it is one of the candidates for the top spot in the group. However, in my opinion, we have the ability to have a strong start that upends expectations, provided that the next two performances are reassuring for qualification.
