At 1:00 a.m. Beijing time on October 13, the third stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar Asian Qualifying Tournament, the fourth round of Group B of the much-anticipated 12-team tournament, a fierce battle will be unfolded in King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Our national team will meet the challenge of Saudi Arabia here, and a showdown of honor and glory is about to take place.
As the pre-match news came in, Zhu Yi, the administrator of the German transfer market in China, disclosed the latest developments of the Saudi team. He said that on the eve of the match, the Saudi team made minor adjustments to the 23-man entry list. Zhu Yi noted in his report: "The Saudis have made minor changes to their squad, with Yasir Al-Shahrani, who originally played as a left back, unfortunately leaving the team, while 24-year-old Hosein Al-Kassim was lucky enough to be handed a place in the squad. In comparison, Shahrani has a lot of experience, while Hosein Al-Kassim has yet to make an A-list appearance for the Saudi national team." This qualifying clash will undoubtedly be a matchup of variables, with both sides eager to emerge victorious in a crucial battle. And the changes to the Saudi lineup have certainly added more unknowns to the match.
