Jordan manages ace ahead of the Korean War “Tired state, conducting personal exercise”

Musa al-Tamari of Jordan.

Jordan, Klinsmann's opponent in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup semifinals, has entered the management of 'ace' Moussa Al-Tamari (Montpellier). Altamari came out of team training and did individual exercises to prepare for the Korean War.

The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will compete against Jordan to advance to the Asian Cup finals at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar, at midnight on the 7th (Korean time).

Jordan sweated hard at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha on the 4th ahead of the Korean War. On this day, only 24 people from Jordan showed up at the training ground.

Veteran striker Hamza Al-Dardur (Al-Hussein) received a three-game suspension from the AFC for provoking an opponent in the round of 16 against Iraq on the 29th of last month. Accordingly, the Jordan Football Association imposed disciplinary action, including summoning him to his home country.

Altamari was also nowhere to be seen. Altamari, who had normally participated in recovery training with his teammates the day before, did individual exercises on this day. An official from the Jordan Football Association said, “Al-Tamari complained of fatigue, so he left the team and is preparing for the Korean game alone.”

Although he did not participate in team training, the possibility of playing in the Korean game is open.

After suffering a minor injury in the round of 16 against Iraq, Altamari reportedly underwent personal training two days before the quarterfinals against Tajikistan. Afterwards, he started as a normal starter against Tajikistan and played until the 44th minute of the second half.

After the match against Tajikistan, Altamari said, “It doesn’t matter whether I’m injured or not. “He will just do his best to advance to the finals,” he said, declining to comment on his injury.

If Altamari plays, he is expected to pose a threat to Korea's defense. Altamari is the only player from Jordan playing in one of Europe's top five leagues and is playing alongside Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) in French Ligue 1. Altamari, who has the advantage of quick dribble penetration and space penetration, has scored 3 goals in 16 games for his team.

In this tournament, he only missed the third match of the group stage against Bahrain, appearing in 4 matches and scoring 2 goals. In the four games Altamari played, Jordan recorded three wins and one draw. Korea also struggled with Jordan's attack led by Al-Tamari in the second group match against Jordan on the 20th of last month. 스포츠토토
