Roy Pinto: I tried to take advantage of the first minutes and consider the next meeting to be final.

After the match between Kuwait and Qatar in the opening of their campaign in the Arabian Gulf Cup during the second day of the tournament, which was hosted by the Olympic Stadium and ended with the victory of the Qatari team over the Kuwaiti team with two goals, a press conference was held for Roy Pinto, coach of the Kuwait national team, who commented on the meeting, saying: “I congratulate Qatar for the victory.” We tried to play quickly during the first ten minutes to impose our control and apply what was trained in the last session. In the second half, we tried to catch up and create chances, but we could not score.

On the attack problem, we solve the team’s problems. If the team can create opportunities, it can score. In a big way, Qatar won, but luck helped them a lot with the first goal.

And about the team’s fortunes after today’s loss: The upcoming matches will be finals for us. We have to forget the result today and work to avoid mistakes, as there is no room for any error.

In conclusion, about the importance of the championship for the Kuwaiti team, which holds the record for winning its title, and whether it can return Kuwait to its former era: Our message to the players is always positive, and we trust in the capabilities of the players and strive to provide the best in the future. Two months have passed, and I need time to leave my mark on the Kuwaiti national team.
