Qatar U23 team receives top-notch service at the AFC U23 Asian Championship finals.
In addition to their professional skills, the Qatar U23 team has been meticulously prepared in every aspect to ensure their players feel as comfortable as possible.
U23 Qatar, Vietnam's opponent in the semi-finals of the U23 Asian Championship, is having an extremely impressive run in this year's tournament, winning all four previous matches. But U23 Qatar's success so far is not accidental.
Besides their professional capabilities (the Qatar U23 team has many players currently playing in Europe, and the squad for this year's tournament is considered the core for the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar), the Qatar U23 team has also been meticulously prepared in all aspects to help their players feel as comfortable as possible.
Even after witnessing the Qatar U23 team's training session on the afternoon of January 22nd, in preparation for their match against Vietnam U23, the VNA reporter was surprised by how thoroughly prepared the team was.
Before the bus carrying the Qatari players and coaching staff arrived at the training ground, the Qatar U23 team had already arrived at the training ground beforehand to prepare.
Even more surprisingly, the team prepared training shoes for each player and neatly arranged them outside the track of the field.
Besides training shoes, they also need to prepare other training equipment, most notably a distance measuring device to accurately measure distances. While other teams only estimate distances, the Qatar U23 team measures them precisely to the centimeter.
This is why the Qatar U23 team's assistant and support staff (including the coaching staff) numbers 20 people, which is almost equal to the number of players (23) they registered for the 2018 AFC U23 Asian Championship.
For a wealthy country like Qatar, it's perhaps not surprising that their players are fully equipped, especially since Qatar's current U23 squad is considered the core of their squad for the 2022 World Cup, which they will host.
