On the eve of the 10th round of the World Cup qualifying third round, Qatar's national team goalkeeper Meshal Barsham shared his thoughts and reflections. Although this match may not significantly affect the standings in the tournament table, both sides are expected to take the field with great importance and spirit.
Meshal Barsham, the main goalkeeper of the Qatar team, emphasized the importance of the match against Uzbekistan:
— “The match against Uzbekistan is not crucial in the qualifiers, but we will show all our strength and effort to take the field for victory. The Uzbekistan national team has made great progress in recent years, and they will have to prepare seriously. This team has set high goals and has a united and capable squad. They deserve great attention and respect for qualifying for the World Cup. At the same time, we still have tasks in the qualifiers. The playoff stage awaits us, but for now, we are only thinking about the game in Tashkent. Winning this match will give us strength and mental energy for the upcoming playoff games,” said the 27-year-old Qatari footballer.
It is worth noting that this clash at the "Bunyodkor" stadium holds symbolic significance for Uzbekistan. Because our team secured a World Cup spot ahead of time, achieving a historic result. The Qatar national team is still preparing for the playoff stage, and this game is considered a unique testing point for them.
Additionally, such matches between national teams generate special interest among football fans in both countries. All eyes are now focused on June 10 in Tashkent, at the "Bunyodkor" stadium. Who will win, and which team will advance to the playoffs with what level of morale — answers to these questions will be revealed soon.
