DOHA: Qatar coach Daniel Carreno on Thursday said the home side
produced a consistent performance in their 15-0 drubbing of Bhutan at
Al Sadd Stadium.
“From a tactical perspective, there was a huge difference between the
two teams,” Carreno said.
“We saw two different levels. We can say that the Qatari players were
very serious and disciplined throughout the game,” the Uruguayan said.
“And this is the positive thing from today’s game,” he said.
“We worked hard with the group while aiming to win and score the
highest number of goals. I didn’t expect we were going to win by such
a huge margin,” Carreno said.
“Since the first minute we were trying to push.
“The good thing is that the players were trying hard to score from the
very beginning,” Carreno pointed out.
Carreno said Qatar dominated from the start and the opening goal set
things in motion for the home side. “The first goal was the most
important one,” Carreno said.
“After three goals we were trying to achieve the highest number of
goals because we will need this if goal difference comes into play at
the end,” he said.
“Everyone around the team bench - administration and technical staff -
all of us were looking to achieve a historic record but not just in a
single match,” Carreno said.
“Now we have to think about our game against Hong Kong. After that we
will look at the QSL because when the season starts, the Qatar players
will play more games and their preparedness will be higher,” Carreno
said.
