The Spanish coach, though, praised his team’s pa- tient approach and has no in- tention of a different approach when they take on DPR Korea, with victory almost certain to take the Qataris into the next phase of the competition. “Each match is different and we cannot renounce the way we play,” said Sanchez. “It’s difficult to change now, but we need to find solu- tions to be more close to the opposition’s goal. “But in front you always have an opponent and Leba- non showed they’re a well or- ganised team and they were Qatar players during their training session in Al Ain on Saturday, ahead of the Group E match against DPR Korea in the Asian Cup 2019.
