Withert defeated Jazira's chances of winning Jordan as he left four points behind Faisal and only three games left. As the coach said, the team will throw its forces in the Asian Cup where it goes well enough as it is at the top of its club. The qualification is expected to remain open until the last game when facing away from Kuwait.
The present, played in neutral (Abu Dhabi) is the theoretically easier game of the Jazira series, which in the previous (again neutral) easily won the Syros with 4-0. Shehab, however, warned their players not to be relaxed as Alepo would seek revenge for this heavy defeat.
For its part, Itihad Alepo, which is at a critical juncture in the domestic championship, does not have a good chance of qualifying for this and players from the B team also joined the mission in order to gain experience. "We are not going to surrender to Jazira," says the coach, but I do not think he can avoid another defeat.
