Jordanian national team coach Jamal Selami looked confident as if he had won despite the draw. He seemed to collapse as he gave up the first goal early in the day and fell into a series of crises, but he took advantage of only one chance to tie the game and then played an equal game. Jordan, who maintained the second place due to the draw against Korea, is now dreaming of going to the World Cup finals for the first time ever.
Coach Selami said at a press conference after the eighth match of Group B in the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against South Korea at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 25th, "We are grateful to our players for their good performance. We are grateful to have the result of a draw even though it was not an easy start after losing the first goal. "Son Heung-min changed his position to the left during the game, and Korea's fast players pressed our team. However, thanks to the good work of our defense, including Yazan, we were able to get a draw"I would like to express my gratitude to Jordanian fans for their support. We also prepared a lot for this game, and I think the draw is the fruit. He wanted to enter Korea early and adapt to the climate and environment. I didn't worry too much because I was well prepared for my physical and mental aspects. The Jordanian Football Association's support also had a good impact on the morale of the team. "It is true that South Korea was not easy to respond to because of its irregular game management, such as position change during the game. But he was patient, and as a result, he was able to play a high-quality game", he commented. If the injured return in June, we expect to be able to build a better power and get closer to the finals"I predicted.
Yazan Al-Rab (FC Seoul, K-League registration name Yazan), who was selected as Man of the Match (MOM) on the day, said, `It is not very easy to face a strong team like Korea. I wanted to be as stable as possible on the defense side. It would have been better if we had won, but I'm satisfied with getting one point from the away draw in South Korea." He said, `Based on my experience in Seoul, I am well aware of the characteristics of Korean players. I think it was helpful to know how to switch from defense to offense or what individual characteristics are."
