The coach of the national team, "Herve Renard," spoke at the press conference held today to talk about preparations to face Oman in the second round of the final Asian qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup.

He said: "It will be an interesting match for both teams after the victory that was achieved in the beginning, We saw a great result for Oman against Japan, so we know very well that tomorrow's match will be a difficult match."

"We know very well that all the qualifiers are difficult, so we must respect all the competing teams that have reached the last stage of the qualifiers, and work constantly in order to be perfectly present," added Herve Renard.

And about the experience of the Saudi team in the qualifiers, he said: "We have experience and skill, and it may not be enough, so the spirit of the team must be present in every match."

He refused to consider describing Oman's victory against Japan as a surprise and said: "What Oman achieved in its last match was not a surprise because football is played on the playground and not on paper."
