Green violence at the turn of Lebanon

Saudi Arabia, outraged by North Korea, hopes to take advantage of Lebanon's faltering morale when it meets in Dubai on Saturday in the second round of Group E of the 2019 Asian Cup.

After the victory of the Russian Football World Cup over Egyptian Egypt's Mohamed Salah, with a disappointing start and a five-point losing streak against Russia, Saudi Arabia set foot on the continental carpet.

With their Argentine coach Juan Antonio Pietzi of Cuba 2016, who was hired in December 2017 to succeed the Dutch Bert van Marwijk, the "green hawks" presented a smooth level without pressure, helping them to complete the second half with ten men.

By contrast, Lebanon fell to Qatar in a bilateral short cut from Montenegro coach Miodrag Radolovic, canceling the goal for his team in the first period, which sparked discontent among players and supporters gathered in the city of Al-Ain.

Saudi Arabia earned the second best score in the first round after Iran's 5-0 victory over Yemen and revealed several offensive bases for new leader Salem Al Dosari, Fahd Al Mawlid and the magnificent Hattan Bahbury goalkeeper. Striker Ybader Al Shahrani, injured in the ankle against North Korea, could be injured on the eve of the tournament by Betzei's team, injured by attacker Mohammed Al Sahlawi. Qatar's goal, with the exception of the back-bathed goal, is to continue the offensive on infertility in the last six games.

"It will not be easy for players to recover after a match like this, especially on a psychological level, but we must all have the strength and the desire to repeat Wednesday's match against Qatar," Radolovic told AFP. "Of course, if we repeat our performance on Wednesday, Positive".

Radolovic has been criticized for adopting five defenders and warning him of an attack, although his team includes three strikers, Hbadan Matouk, Basil Grady of Croatia's Hydek Split and Hilal Al Hilweh, who dropped during last 25 minutes after trying to reduce the gap with Qatar.

Saudi Arabia, whose senior members of the Al Hilal team have been in the last two seasons and the current leader, has achieved its first victory in the first win since its first win in 1996 and the UAE. "I hope this will happen again, Al-Owais has kept Saudi Arabia own for the first time in 10 continental games since its 4-0 win over Bahrain in the group stage of the edition. 2007.
