DOHA: Qatar coach Daniel Carreno on Monday said the 2018 FIFA

World Cup clash against Uzbekistan on Tuesday is very ‘important’

for his players.

Qatar lost to Iran in their opening Asian Zone clash in Tehran on

Thursday.

“It is an important match for us. We will be playing to win and to get

three points,” Carreno said during a press conference.

“To keep hopes of reaching the next round of qualifying, we must win

and we can,” he added.

Uzbekistan beat Syria in their opening game.

“We have looked at our game against Iran. We have highlighted the mistakes

we made,” Carreno said.

“We have had five days to sit down and assess our position ahead of this

match.

“We have confidence to pick up the points,” he added.

Carreno said there could be changes in the playing tactics.

“We played a good match against Iran but you need different sets of

plans for different sides,” he said.

“I hope Qatar fans turn out in large numbers. The team needs support

from their fans,” Carreno said.

“I know this is a hugely important match for us but I have confidence in

my players,” the coach said.

Tonights game will be played at Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium.
