What did Carlos Queiroz say about the match against Uzbekistan?

The head coach of the Oman national team, Carlos Queiroz, shared his thoughts on his team and the overall preparation process at a press conference after the draw against Uzbekistan.

Keirush noted that the game was very bright and profitable. "Our opponent was very strong, and they are also preparing for the World Cup," he said. It was noted that this game was a valuable experience for the team and was important for them to achieve their goal in the future.

On the other hand, Keyrush was asked whether to prepare by participating in Oman's CAFA tournament or by playing friendly matches. In response, he noted that the decision to participate in CAFA had been made earlier, and he also believes that holding two friendly matches would be beneficial for young players. "This is a good experience for young people," said the coach.

It should be noted that Keirush's good results against Uzbekistan are largely due to the team's focus on work and vertical play. "I think the Uzbekistan national team always tries to play beautifully for its fans. "And I will try to work with all my strength to achieve victory," he said.

Relying on recent matches, Keyrush saw the main goal for Oman as qualifying for the World Cup. "We definitely want to qualify for the World Cup. Currently, almost all the players are focusing on the World Cup qualifying matches against Qatar and the UAE. This tournament is only a friendly match. Therefore, the main goal is the 2026 World Cup," he noted. Keyrush emphasized that qualifying for the World Cup is of great importance for Oman and that it will be important and emotional not only for the national but also for all fans.

"Reaching the World Cup means a lot to us. If we go to the World Cup, we will take many fans with us. If I can do that, I'll swim from Oman to New York," Keirush concluded, stating that he would make history as a coach who managed to qualify for the World Cup five times in history.

In short, Keyrush's most important goal for Oman is to qualify for the World Cup and thereby reach a new level in his coaching career.
