\u201cWe are facing a very tough match against Yemen. In fact, all our matches will be challenging, and every team will be focused on securing points,\u201d said Abdi.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played against Yemen in the quarter-finals of the AFC U17 Asian Cup in 2023 where we won 4-2 in a penalty shootout. They are a hardworking team\u2014tough, disciplined, and good at keeping possession. I\u2019m sure they are among the best teams in Asia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to improve in all aspects of our game. While we train with most of our players, some are also with the senior team, which has been a challenge. As a result, we only had about seven days to train with the full squad. However, we will ensure that the team is ready for each match in this tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mohammed Hasan Ali Al Baadani\u2019s Yemen will be eager to move past their opening-day defeat against Uzbekistan as they prepare to face a formidable Iran side.<\/p>\n
Yemen squandered chances in the second half against Uzbekistan, with Mohammed Al Brnawi and Adel Qasem unable to find the back of the net, the-afc.com wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are still in this competition despite the defeat to Uzbekistan,\u201d said\u00a0 Al Baadani. \u201cFootball is a game of fine margins and we will do our best to improve our finishing and come back stronger against Iran.\u201d<\/p>\n
