We are waiting for the latest reports to determine his readiness.

And as for his expectations for the champion, he says there isn’t one, and whoever can impose his personality will have a better chance.Teamwork is the key to victory. I have distinguished elements, and this will appear on the field and not only in words.

And about the difficulty of tomorrow’s match: In short-term tournaments, the first meeting is difficult, and all matches are difficult, but the first is of special importance. We need a strong presence to show our personality during the matches.
And about the lack of scoring during the past year and whether he faces scoring suffering, he answered: “I do not have accurate statistics, but we created opportunities, and this is reassuring, and we will create greater opportunities during the tournament, and we will seek to exploit them.”

For his part, Waleed Abbas said: “We thank Iraq for the distinguished organization.” Tomorrow’s match is very difficult. Bahrain seeks to preserve the title, and we strive to provide the best and appear well.
