Former head coach of the UAE national team, Dr. Abdullah Misfer, emphasized that the team has all the necessary capabilities and resources to achieve victory over their Uzbek rivals in the qualifying stage for the 2026 World Cup. He expressed this opinion in an interview with Emirates Today.
Confidence in Cosmos is high, the team is strong
According to Misfer, the current head coach, Kosmin Olariu, knows the internal environment of the team and the potential of the players well, which gives him an advantage over other coaches. “He understands the players not only on the field but also psychologically,” says Misfer.
Defensive mistakes must not be forgotten
At the same time, he recalled the reasons for the defeat (0:1) in the first match held in Tashkent. According to him, the shortcomings in the defense line must be analyzed and addressed this time.
“We cannot afford to miss this opportunity now”
“In the fight for the World Cup qualification, the UAE cannot afford any mistakes. The team must strive only for victory: winning against Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan is a mandatory task. Additionally, in the Qatar vs Uzbekistan match, there is hope for a victory for the Kazakhs as well,” said Misfer.
Competition within the team has intensified
The former coach stated that the players called up by Kosmin are in good physical condition and competition for the starting lineup has increased. This internal competition can positively affect the quality of play. Maintaining a balance between attack and defense will be one of the key factors for success.
The conclusion drawn from Abdullah Misfer's statement is as follows: the UAE national team head coach and players currently have sufficient resources, preparation, and confidence. The upcoming competition is solely a matter of tactical balance, psychological stability, and loyalty on the field.
It should be noted that the UAE vs Uzbekistan match will start on June 5 at 21:00 Tashkent time. This competition will be a decisive stage for both teams in the pursuit of the World Cup.
