Oman lost 1-3 at the match against Korea held at home on Sept. 10 last year. Korea is superior to Oman in objective power.

This is the story of Oman's coach Rashid Jaber with reporters at a pre-press conference held at Goyang Stadium on the 19th.

Q. I'm going on an expedition to Korea.

It is a very important game. Korea is the best team in Asia. It has to be thoroughly prepared in everything, including physical, mental, and technical areas. It will be a difficult game though. However, we have to do our best to survive the third qualifying round. The players are also aware of this and are preparing 100 percent. I trust our players. As it is an important game, I will do my best.

Q. I was the runner-up at the Gulf Cup. Will I be able to continue this trend.

The qualifying round for the World Cup is completely different from the Gulf Cup. Korea is the best team in Group B. However, we have done our best to raise the team's level in recent months. We have convened the national team several times to test new players. We have given many chances, especially for the young players.

It is regrettable that Mohamed Musselini, former captain of the Korean national team, and Harif Sadi, who announced retirement from the national team, cannot play in the match against Korea. Nevertheless, I trust in the 23 players who came for the away match in Korea. I will do my best to produce good results in the away match in Korea.

Q: We lost 1-3 at a match against Korea held at home on Sept. 10 last year. He didn't lead the Oman national team back then, but what did you think of last year's match against Korea.

At the time, I didn't lead the Oman national team. I did analyze the game. We played well until 82 minutes. It collapsed with 10 minutes left before the end of the game. If you look at the loss scene again, there were our mistakes. There are many experienced players in Korea. Mistakes can lead to runs. There should be no small mistakes. This is why we have to prepare well physically, mentally, and technically. This time, the game will be played at home in Korea. You have to maintain high concentration throughout the 90 minutes.

Q. South Korea's core defense player Kim Min-jae will be absent. Will Kim Min-jae's absence change Oman's game management.

In conclusion, there is no change due to Kim Min-jae's absence. Kim Min-jae is absent, but Korea has no less players. Korea is not a team that relies on one player. The player who will replace Kim Min-jae is also outstanding. We will prepare well until the end so that we can fully realize what we have prepared.

Q: The cold in Korea seems very strange. The Ramadan period is also likely to cause difficulties in preparing for the Korean War.

The cold in Korea is definitely bitter. It is definitely different from the weather in Oman. I would be lying if I didn't have a hard time adjusting to the cold in Korea. However, I have to adapt. I have adapted quite a bit to the cold while staying in Korea for three days.

Ramadan is our culture. It's nothing new. We have experience playing games during this period. We have to adapt. Of course, there are difficulties. Especially, it's an away game in Korea. We came to Korea after moving 13 hours. The time to eat has also changed. There are many difficulties, but there is only one way. We have to adapt and overcome.
