U23 Iraq has high determination in the Doha Cup friendly tournament. The proof is that they have summoned a squad consisting of many players playing in Europe. But this also creates a disadvantage for the West Asian team.
Because it was not until this morning that U23 Iraq welcomed 4 faces playing in Vietnam. Europe is Hani Nesajer (Trelleborgs FF Sweden) Yusuf Al-Imam (Malmo Sweden) Marko Farji (Stromsgodset Norway) and Manuel Iylia (FC Twente Netherlands).
Even Ali’s group of players Hayder (Stoke City England), Mustafa Omran (Atalanta Italy) and Ali Almosawe (Copenhagen Denmark) had to wait until the evening to appear. That means that these players (all pillars of U23 Iraq) only had two training sessions before the match with U23 Vietnam.
Meanwhile, winger Ammar Ghalib does not know When should we focus when having problems with passport issuance procedures? The most unfortunate absence of Iraq U23 this time is Zidane Iqbal, who is playing for Man Utd. He could not participate because he was busy with the national team.
Difficulties pile up for Iraq U23 when the Doha Cup takes place in the month of Ramadan (from March 22 to April 21). According to custom, Iraqi U23 players will not eat or drink until sunset. To adapt, U23 Iraq can only practice once a day.
Sharing about the difficulties of the home team, coach Radi Shenaishel said: “U23 Iraq only had two training sessions before the friendly match with U23 Vietnam. Besides, we will enter the month of Ramadan. That is the problem that I need to solve.”
According to the schedule, U23 Vietnam will face U23 Iraq at 10:45 p.m. on December 22. 3 according to local time (ie 02:45 on March 23 Vietnam time) and meet U23 UAE at 20:30 on March 25 local time (00:30 March 26 Vietnam time).
