Bangkok: Qatar U-16 coach Oscar Fernandez insists his team need to make significant improvements in the next two matches if they are to have an impact on the AFC U-16 championship currently played in Thailand. Sunday' defeat to Iran at the Rajamangala Stadium might prove beneficial for the young Qataris if they managed to recover fast enough before playing Syria on Tuesday, " We only have 24 hours to regroup as a team before playing a differently built Syrian side, today, the Iranians made things diffucult for us due to their physical presence, they have a bunch of some really talented footballers". The Spaniard must take swift action to correct some of the evident defensive limitations seen in their opening game, "Iran are a very strong team and it was hard for us. We did a lot of good things, but we made mistakes," said Fernandez, who must now re-group his side to face Syria on Tuesday. "We know we need to recover as we have another game in two days. We need to build on the good things and now is the time to rest and recover as we have another game. "We had chances against a great team, one of the best teams here, and we played very well and had chances. Their goalkeeper made two or three good saves and we had a lot of corners as well."
