Walid Al-Hayam: We realize the difficulty of playing against Saudi Arabia

Bahraini player Waleed Al-Hayam praised the performance of his team mates in the first match against the defending champions.

“We know how difficult it is for us to face a strong and experienced team.”

“We do not know who is going to play, and maybe this is what distinguishes our coach Sousa. We take the games in the tournament step by step and think about the three points against Saudi Arabia.”

Regarding the players’ satisfaction with their performance in the match against Oman, he continued: “Our performance was good against the winner of the previous version of the tournament.”
