About the team's goals at this stage
"Our primary goal is to ensure that Iraq can smoothly qualify for the World Cup. This is the most important achievement for us. I am very aware that the fans and the media are desperate after the match against Saudi Arabia, but I must emphasize that I am arrogant for my players. They performed very well, were disciplined and worked hard."
"We performed very well on the defensive end and did not concede a goal in the two games. This is due to the diligence of the whole team. However, we must be more effective in attack and strive for goals. We will choose the strongest players who can fight on the court. This will be an 11-on-11 game, like a battlefield. We need all players who represent Iraq to go all out and strive to win."
