Play well and win the samurai logical .. Al -Maqla:
The national coach, Mohamed Al -Maqla, said that “our national team played well, but the result that the match has become logical for the Japanese team, and Al -Ahmar must take advantage of this result to be a greater motivation to compensate against the Indonesian team and the remaining matches, in the way that serves his career in these World Cup qualifiers.”
This came in the statement singled out for the “Al-Watan Sports” after the match that was played by the football red against the Japanese team, whose result ended in favor of Japan with 2-0, in the seventh round matches for the third group of the third and decisive stage qualifiers for the World Cup 2026 World Cup.
Al -Maqla added: “Al -Ahmar has played with a good formation, which is the same formation that he played in Khaleeji 26. Stability is good for the same squad, but sometimes the team needs to be strengthened in some centers. He relied on a game of playing 4—2-1 to close the midfield, and press the ball holder, as the team succeeded in the first third of the match with the incursions and by closing by force, especially at the level of the left side of the Japanese team.
He continued: «With the first goal of Japan, this gave us a great motivation for the red players to move more, but without effectiveness. When our team reaches a third of the two attacks, there is no tactical drawing of the attack, because there is no required support, and it was that the Japanese team is fast, and it can retreat with the largest number of deaths. The first half has a chance, while the Japanese team gets two chances, but the result of the half ended in a negative tie.
And he added, “It was better in the second half to play in the same way that we relied on in the second half of the match, in addition to strengthening the midfield, and in the wings and supporting the two backs, but the Japanese team surpassed us on the physical side. And I think that our coach, Mr. Dragan, has been delayed in switching a lot. ”
He pointed out that “the Japanese were able to score the first goal through an attack that started from the middle of the stadium, and by exploiting the area in the defensive depth. Although our team tried to force the Japanese team to play long play, the Japanese team succeeded in reading this method, and they managed to advance the result. The fixed balls are part of the play, and this is what intentionally exploited the Japanese team as required, scoring the second goal amid negligence of the defense and a mistake in the goalkeeper’s position.
Al -Maqla considered that “the coach, Dragan, is always late in the changes,” noting that “the team was suffering from a problem in the middle of the stadium, and it was better for the coach to pay the bumper of the lions under the attackers and the involvement of players to activate this area and to put it on the players of Japan and give Muhammad Marhoun offensive roles on the parties.”
He stressed that “the fitness and stress that our team’s players were exposed to as a result of the high pressure they practiced in the first half of the match and the delay in conducting the substitutions cost the team to come up with the result of the loss against the Japanese team.”
The article said: “The national team must take advantage of this result as a motive for it to prepare better to appear in the required technical performance in the match that brings it together in the Indonesian national team on March 25 in the matches of the eighth round of these qualifiers. The most important thing is now compensation for the result of winning and achieving the three points in the Indonesia match, in order to refresh the hopes of Al -Ahmar in this group. I believe that Al -Ahmar needs more audacity, more transmission, and the change of formation and the style of playing in the way it serves in the next match to come out with the outcome of the victory. The coach must put the required solutions in the squad that will lack defender Amin Bin Uday due to the accumulation of warnings, “wishing all the best and success to the football red in front of Indonesia in seizing the three points of this upcoming confrontation.
