The Jordanian team won the championship is not without play, and the coach's pre-match speech is terrifying
At 23 o'clock on February 10, the Asian Cup final is about to be staged, and Jordan has played Qatar. One is ranked 87th in the world and the other is ranked 58th in the world, and they don't seem to be very strong, but they are outstanding enough in this Asian Cup. Qatar is the host and has been a finalist for the second consecutive tournament. Many fans think that they are expected to win the championship again. However, the Jordanian team should not be underestimated, no matter how high or low the world ranking is, it is not a weak team to reach the final, especially the on-court performance must be very eye-catching, otherwise it would not be so strong to reach the final.
Qatar first beat a mediocre Palestine 2-1, then drew 1-1 with Uzbekistan and eliminated their arch-rivals on penalties, before facing a challenge in the semi-finals and finally eliminated Iran. It can be seen that the host Qatar did not encounter much challenge, and the biggest challenge encountered was the Iranian team, ranked second in Asia, in the just-concluded semi-finals. Qatar relied on the core of the team, with Afif, Haydos, Ali and others performing eye-catchingly, and they used sharp attacks to defeat their rivals 3-2. Qatar's naturalized players have performed eye-catching in recent years, having won the 2019 Asian Cup and are aiming to defend their titles.
Jordan were even more difficult, as they beat Iraq 3-2, then beat Tajikistan 1-0 and beat South Korea 2-0 in the semi-finals to avoid going into extra time and settle the battle in regulation time, without giving South Korea a chance to turn the tables around.
At the pre-match press conference, Amuta admitted that he was satisfied with the results he has achieved so far. Knocking out South Korea has been a huge morale boost, and with a number of players playing in Europe, football is a sport where the devil is in the details. Amuta hit the nail on the head, and the game of eliminating South Korea was to catch the South Korean team's defense for the second time in a row to make low-level mistakes. Speaking of this final, Amuta admitted that it will be a huge challenge and we must not be overwhelmed by the pressure and play at the level we deserve. We can't affect the team's preparation right now, we have to seize the present.
The author likes and approves Amuta's speech, believing that the Jordanian team has a high probability of winning the championship, and Qatar may not have a chance to defend the title.
