PRE-MATCH DISCUSSION | vs. UAE - Asian Cup 2015

fuuuck sake 19th january, I thought the match is today woke up early -.- agh

This is the most important match for TM ,
why ?
because if we win we will increase our chances to reach the Semi final , and if we lost we will decrease our chances to reach the semi final.

on the other hand , Mahdi Ali and his team will work very hard to defeat TM for several reasons :
1- changing the history and make the first official win for UAE against TM.
2- to avoid Japan and be the first in this group.
we have the same reasons to defeat them.

but , how we can defeat them , and not allowing them to win ?
1- playing man to man with the play maker omar , i suggest Andro to play with him .
2- keep attacking from the first moment against their weak defenceto create chances and force mistakes.
3- we should avoid the zone defence tactic and use pressing tactic from their zone which will avoid their attack and create chances for TM.
4- they have a very good and speed strikers , we have to disallow them to inter our area , because if they inter their either they will score or they will get PK.

Go TM

I am intringued by this Omar. Saw him on advertisement, saw europe transfert rumors and few of him on highlights. He seems to have quality.

How can UAE produce quality players???

He's a rare gem produced by Saudi. UAE probably won't have a player like him in at least 35 years or so

[DireStraits]

Even we win we may still face Japan. But even we don't UZ, South Korea Winner are as strong as Australia or Japan. So I think tomorow we will take it easy.

[ramingeles2000]

yes,
I did watch it. I would not call it a comfortable win since it was a dumb mistake by iraqi player that gave japan a penalty. TM can handle the Japanese and Iraqi teams well. I compared the players we have with the Japanese and we are better one by one, start with goalkeeper, all the way to Dej and Sardar. A head and shoulder above the Japanese.

But time will show anyway

are you drunk? Japan has over 10 players playing in Europe. What are you talking about? we don't even come close to their talent level. japan is by far the best team in Asia, it's not even close.

This has happened too many times here on PFDC, or in general

it's not just about legionnaires, it's about the team. We have the chemistry to beat any team in Asia.

Well said mate.

Japan has 7-8 players who start in top European leagues.

Now I dont think that should be a sole factor when it comes to who is better but saying we are just better or that our Azmoun who cant get a game in Russia or Ashkan who plays in Middle East is much better than Japan is just wrong.

This will be a team effort that wins and I can see us winning it all. But just maybe some people should watch Endo and Honda play and then reassess. They are two genuine GUNS!!!

[Taz]

I don't think any sane person believes we come close to Japan and South Korea (and probably Australia) in terms of individual talent.

Anyways, I'm excited here, UAE play attractive football and Omar (as well as Mabkhout and Khalil) is a class footballer so it should make for a good match. The defeat might bring about an interesting response from the squad and cut out any possible complacency but yeah, Iraq please

[Libertine]

So if we beat UAE, were looking at playing Iraq? Then if we were to beat Iraq are we looking at South Korea?

[Paradigm]

Folks, I hope Jahanbakheh and Rafiei get some field time vs. UAE. They are both creative players and featuring in a big tournament adds an important part to their professional development. Maybe sub them in for Gucci and Shojaie at some point in the game.

South Korea or Uzbekistan, depending on who wins that quarter final.

[Libertine]

Right I see, and then if we draw or lose tomorrow potentially we could face Japan? I'm looking to put some money on Japan each way to reach final/winners of AFc Cup. But I can't bet on them if Iran face then before the final!

Yes, in that case, we will face Japan.
