Players to Watch

Almoez Ali (Qatar)

Almoez Ali’s performance in the AFC Asian Cup 2023 has been less impressive than anticipated. With just one goal to his name, he has fallen short of the high standards he’s looked upon.

However, it’s crucial for the head coach, Tintin Marquez, to maintain confidence in Ali and provide him with opportunities to regain his goal-scoring prowess, reminiscent of his Golden Boot-winning performance in the 2019 edition.

Oday Dabbagh (Palestine)

The forward from Charleroi has created a lot of buzz of his scoring abilities in the AFC Asian Cup 2023 group stage. Dabbagh was rated highly in their encounter against Hong Kong where he scored two crucial goals for his team. He has a sense of being in the right place at the right time.

Apart from his ability to find the back of the net, the 24-year-old demonstrates adept passing skills on the field. He often retreats into midfield, adept at retaining possession and initiating counterattacking opportunities, a quality that can be pivotal for the team. He will be a key player to look at in their upcoming clash against Qatar.
