Kuala Lumpur: ‘Solid preparation to serve as a strong foundation’ was the general theme of the pre-match press conference for Group B of the AFC U-16 Championship Malaysia 2018, as DPR Korea, Jordan, Oman and Yemen kick off their campaign on Friday.
The group’s first match at the MBPJ Stadium will be an all-West Asian affair as Oman take on Yemen, and head coach Magdy Sayed Shalaby believes that his boys have put in the needed hard work in the recent months.
“We participated in the 2018 WAFF U-16 Championship last month, and played against teams like Japan, India, Jordan and Iraq. It was a good tournament where we learned a lot.
“We have seen some matches of Oman, and we hope to play better than them in their opener.
“But right now, the players are eager to make the people of Yemen happy.”
