UAE Head Coach Says, China Stand Better ChanceChina stand more chance to win tomorrow in an Asian World Cup qualifying group B match against the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said UAE head coach Abdull Sager in Shenyang on Friday, August 24.China, who failed in their last all six attempts to qualify for the World Cup finals, will open their seventh campaign on their home turf with a match against UAE on Saturday. With an expectedly tough match looming large, Sager said: " China, as a team, are stronger than us. They have more good players. In tomorrow's match, they will have more chance to beat us. In the whole group, they are also the favored one to qualify." But everything can happen in soccer matches, especially for UAE, who upset Uzbekistan 4-1 in the opening game, said Sager. "My players are now in high form, they have every determination to win tomorrow," said the stout coach who sports a moustache. Both Sager and Bora Milutinovic, China's head coach, are yet to announce their starting line-ups. The Asian World Cup qualifiers are playing in two groups, with the top finisher of each group automatically qualifying for the finals. The better second placed team will play off against Australia for an extra berth. |
