Bento after UAE elimination: Now I just want to see my daughter

According to the correspondent of Fars news agency from Qatar, Paulo Bento said after the elimination of the UAE national football team by losing the penalty shootout against Tajikistan: the game was very important and difficult. 2 teams showed a lot of fighting and had a good strategy in attacks. In the first half, we were able to control the ball and the field, but in the second half, we were not very good. As a result, something happened that we did not like. In the end, it was a penalty kick, but now there are very important issues for us in the World Cup qualifiers.

Regarding the continuation of cooperation with the Emirates Federation, he said: When you lose, these unusual questions are asked. I can’t talk about it, but we try to do our best.

The Portuguese head coach of the UAE national team stated: I think we were not as good in the second half as in the first half. Ramadan’s presence on the field was very important for us when he was injured. With him, we could create opportunities for the attackers. Ramadan organized the team very well. In this game, we experienced different conditions. In the second half, we did not perform well in controlling the ball and managing the game.

Bento continued: We attacked much better in the first half, but in the second half we could not create a chance on the opponent’s goal.

He explained about the UAE’s good history in recent Nations Cups and its failure in this period: Whatever happens, the main question should be how you analyze your team and why you didn’t play well or why you made a lot of mistakes in the match. Our goal was to go to the next stage, but it didn’t happen, maybe because of Ramadan’s injury.

The head coach of the UAE national team explained about the absence of Ali Mabkhout in this game: I am trying to build a very good team with my current team. In this regard, I am sure that at this stage we know that we did not achieve what we wanted, but in March we have two games in the World Cup qualifiers, which are very important for the UAE to advance to the final selection round. Now I just want to see my daughter and I don’t think about anything else.

About his history in Chinese football and the reason why this team did not advance to the elimination stage of the Nations Cup, Bento said: We know that we have a very difficult task and we must be better than before every day. Sometimes we have to pay attention to our own performance in the game. We need to adopt better strategies to succeed. We have a big project that we want to make great things happen. Football in Asia is progressing very well and all teams are on the path of evolution day by day.
