On September 6, Saudi Arabia and Indonesia played to a 1-1 draw in the first round of the Group C match in the third phase of the Asian zone. Former Saudi Arabia famous defender Alkadi revealed that the Saudi team in the battle of China is expected to wash away the previous shame.
Speaking to Saudi media, Al Qaadi said bluntly, "Given China's recent seven-goal defeat by Japan, we will take this opportunity to try to make a breakthrough. We have to capitalize on the opportunity to get a positive result."
"The dilemma facing Saudi Arabia is the lack of understanding between players and the need for the defense to form a team force rather than being alone. Our opponents are giving it their all on the field and are hungry for good results. As a result, Saudi players must be alert and aim to break the deadlock quickly to avoid a repeat of their match against Indonesia."
The Chinese men's soccer team will meet the challenge of Saudi Arabia at the Barracuda Bay Stadium in Dalian in the next four days.
