Baghdad The coach of our national football team, Dutchman Dick Advocaat, confirmed that he is waiting for a great challenge to lead the Lions of Mesopotamia to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Advocaat said, in the press conference for the match against South Korea tomorrow, Thursday: “I am happy to return to this beautiful country and the wonderful stadium, but now I am on a mission with the Iraqi national team and we aspire to qualify for the World Cup, which is a great challenge for me.”

Advocaat added, “I think that the Korean team has developed well and football in Korea has developed a lot in recent years. They have a great team because of the quality and capabilities of the team. Despite that, we have confidence in our team, and we will play a difficult match against the Korean team.”

The Dutch national team coach, Advocaat, explained: The only problem we have is that some players joined the team late, we only had two or three weeks to prepare for the match, but it is normal because we have a good team and they work hard, and the preparation for two weeks is very short, but when I saw them; They train very well.

The coach of our national team concluded his speech at the press conference for tomorrow’s match: We are a professional team, so we want to play football, and we do not like to waste time, we are here to achieve a positive result.
