A day before the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup against Korea, head coach Hussein Amota of the Jordan national soccer team announces his entry at an official press conference held at the Main Media Center (MMC) in Doha, Qatar, on the 5th (local time).

The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will compete against Jordan to advance to the Asian Cup finals at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar, at midnight on the 7th (Korean time).
Korea and Jordan played the second game of the group stage on the 20th of last month, and at that time, Korea was struggling and ended in a 2-2 draw due to an own goal.
At the official press conference held at the Main Media Center (MMC) in Doha on the 5th ahead of the game, Coach Amuta said, “It will be a difficult game. Korea has changed mentally, technically, and tactically compared to the group stage. “We are adjusting the game (in the knockout stage),” he said. “Korea lost strength after going through two overtimes, but everyone knows the capabilities of the Korean national team. “We are the strongest team in Asia both physically and mentally,” he said.
He continued, “Jordan is without two key players, and there are issues outside of the game. “We will overcome this,” he said. “Korea also had weaknesses in the last five games. We will attack this. “I will do my best to reach the finals,” he said.
Jordan's main striker Ali Olwan (Al-Shamal) and main defender Salem Al-Azarin (Al-Faisali) will not be able to play in the semifinals against Korea due to accumulated warnings, so it is inevitable that Jordan's strength will be weakened. In addition, veteran striker Hamza Al-Dardur (Al-Hussein) received a three-game suspension from the AFC for provoking an opponent in the round of 16 against Iraq on the 29th of last month.
Ace Musa Altamari (Montpellier) is also not in perfect physical condition. He was also excluded from the team training held on the 4th and did individual exercise.
Coach Amuta said, “To protect the player, we excluded Altamari from training the day before. He had different training. “I hope he will be well prepared on match day,” he said. “Al-Tamari is an important player for Jordan, but other players are also important to the team. “He needs the effort of all the players,” he said, declining to say whether Alta Mari would play.
The Jordanian team is expected to receive one-sided support in the Korean game. Jordanian fans created an atmosphere similar to their home stadium in the previous group stage.
Coach Amuta said, “If fans fill the stadium, it will be a great help to the players. “We will all do our best to make our fans proud.”
Midfielder Ibrahim Sami Sadeh (Al Jazeera), who attended the press conference on behalf of the Jordan players, said, “Son Heung-min is a tremendous player, but we made a lot of preparations to stop him. “He is ready to write a new history,” he said. “There were mistakes in the group stage against Korea, but this time will be different. “I will do my best to reach the finals,” he pledged to win. 토토사이트 순위
