Asked About Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates Coach Zip-Lipped

DBasia.news – The U19 United Arab Emirates coach Batelli Ludovic chose not to answer asked about U19 Indoensia national team. This is similar to his respond about other teams that would be the opponent in the 2018 Asian Cup.

Ludovic said it’s a gesture of respect to the opponents. He said that during the press conference one day before the 2018 U19 Asian Cup started.

The UAE start the match with Qatar on October 18 before playing against Taiwan on October 21 and Indonesia three days later.

“I won’t give the opinion about your team. When we start the competition, we must respect the opponents. We observe and analyze with the same portion,” he explained.

Batelli Ludovic also anticipated the surprise from the opponents. “Because if you give any understanding to the players, which team are great or not, that’s not good. We can’t guess.”

“Every team has a different style and we also have the different way to anticipate,” Batelli Ludovic continued.

Batelli Ludovic added the UAE are similar to the others, targeting the semifinal for the ticket of 2019 U20 World Cup in Poland.

“We are here to secure the qualification for the World Cup. Everyone prepare this, starting from he team, federation, and most importantly the players,” he explained.
