We will plan well, as we want to win the group: Coach Sanchez AFC ABU DHABI KNOCKOUT stage qualifica- tion may have been sealed but both Saudi Arabia and Qatar’s game plan for their final AFC Asian Cup 2019 Group E tie on Thursday will not hinge on who their possible Round of 16 opponents might be. Both go into the match with a perfect record of two wins, with Qatar only need- ing a draw to win the group on goal difference. The group winners will face the Group D runners-up, either Iran or Iraq, while the runners-up will go up against the top-placed team from Group F – either Japan or Uzbekistan. Both coaches - Saudi Ara- bia’s Juan Antonio Pizzi and Felix Sanchex of Qatar - were adamant that their teams would play to win. “I have never played a match in anticipation of who our next opponents will be and that is exactly how we will go into the match tomorrow. “We have maximum confi- dence in the players and have no preference as to who we could play in the Round of 16. We have an ambition to win the title and every match is equally difficult,” said Pizzi. Saudi Arabia go into the tie having defeated DPR Korea 4-0 and Lebanon 2-0, results which have boosted the confi- dence of Pizzi’s players. “Qatar is a team with many qualities and they have good strikers. However, we are also doing well collective- ly and I have full confidence that my players can get the Qatar players warm up for a training session at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, ahead of their final Asian Cup 2019 Group E clash with Saudi Arabia on Thursday. three points.” Qatar, said Sanchez, same as we have for the oth- “It is going to be a tough their two wins so far - a 2-0 performance, especially in the good game tomorrow.” only on the tournament and have prepared for the match er games but we know it is a game but hopefully, we can triumph over a tough Leba- last game.
