Marvik is pleased with the performance against Yemen

UAE coach Van Marwijk said he was satisfied with the performance of his team in the opening match of the 24th Gulf Championship against Yemen, after winning (3-0).

“Our team showed up well in different positions and we could have scored more than three goals,” he said at the briefing after the match.

On the impact of the result of the Iraq-Qatar match, which ended (2-0) to Iraq, he said: “There will be no impact on us. We prepare for each game separately. Our game with Iraq is a different story, and we will prepare well.”
