Portuguese coach Carlos Queiroz, coach of the Oman national team, became emotional live in a television interview, following his team’s loss to Saudi Arabia in the first matches of both teams in the 2025 Arab Cup in Doha.
Statements by Carlos Queiroz
Carlos Queiroz came out with his laptop to explain the right of the Omani national team to receive a red card for the Saudi national team player after the violent intervention on the leg of the Omani Red player, in which the Jordanian referee merely announced the yellow card despite returning to video technology.
Carlos Queiroz said in his statements: You are seeing the situation here, and the matter is clear. Is it possible for this situation to be judged as the referee decided? This is not acceptable at all.
Portuguese Carlos Queiroz continued his statements: Not counting a red card and expelling the Saudi player in this shot is unacceptable.
Statements of Salem Al-Dosari, Saudi player
In another context, Salem Al-Dosari, the Saudi national team player, commented on his country’s victory in the match, saying: Thank God for the first victory, and it was an important matter, and it is more important that we continue this victory.
Salem Al-Dosari, captain of Al-Akhdar, added: Certainly, our goal is to win the Arab Cup title, and we will take things step by step. We faced some mistakes against Oman, but we corrected them and worked to correct them in the second half.
