So to have the country that i was born in playing in the country that i live in. Well, thats truly amazing. Its so exciting to watch. The world cup. Come to cats are seeing it all. Come to life has been an incredible experience having the biggest football tournament in the world in your own backyard was such a special time to be living here. Ah, hello, im sorry. How long the wait is nearly over. Welcome to the loss of our walk up count down programs as we build up to cut out 2020 to the middle east. First woke up and this month were focusing on the team who qualified from asia. That includes the host nation katara who have been no longer training than any other team ahead of the tournament. David beckham played in 3 well cups hes being instill. Hahn is looking forward to the torment taking place in winter for the 1st time. What youre going to see on the pitch, hes probably like no of a welcome performance is, will be the top level. Well take you through to the other 5, asian qualifies iran, a saudi arabia, australia, and japan as power korea who co hosted the woke up themselves 20 years ago. And here to talk us through all of that is full time woke up player, tim cayhill, and 2020. To cut our ambassador homicide. Doing a great welcome to the show as gets great into it and birth to remind you of exactly which teams that have qualified, that from the asian region, theres the host katara qualified automatically and are the current agent champions. Then its iran. Saudi arabia before moving for is to japan and south korea and australia who are also in the asian qualifying circuit. And heres how those teams as fit into the group said, lots of interesting match ups. But 1st, lets focus on the host cutoff area. October. They took a break from their 6 months training camp, told an open session in front of fans here in doha davis. Stokes were put a big welcome for team with big hopes and big expectations on their shoulders. Ah, catalyst players carry the dreams of a football living nation, and theyve made a connection with the supporters that they hope will carry them through for world moving. So dont give one over with john, would it be with to be more strong or so had with all these people all these kids in regards. Oh, this is what the football for we are working. Were doing all these to, to keep the people happy. Im proud of the countries or it will be very nice if there is this atmosphere in the i woke up games supporting assurance. Its going to help us. Every effort has been made to the team to be perfectly prepared. The group have been together for months, taken away from that club commitments. And this is a score who are just there to be the hosts who make up the numbers at this tournament. Cats are the current asian champions with high hopes of reaching the knockout stages than the bureau have been walking in there. And im confident that the players will give their best and all 3 matches and that we will go through. We will give a performance that will be up to the level of the organization dish woke up, and we will make our country proud in this group of players the, the show many times a good. They are very competitive. We know that we are fishing, free, ready, pop, general themes, very strong. They have a story in the old cab or no, theyre going to be shown drug. Rachel, one of the right to play or a maximum level of the fact to play at home. We all got whos gonna give us some extra with the help of the people that i didnt well and good breed are highest level the will cut was always an opportunity for cats are to put itself on the map. And if their Football Team can deliver at the tournament, it will leave an even greater lasting legacy. Maybe its folks al jazeera thats take a closer look at the challenge awaiting Felix Sanchez and his team. This is group a, the 1st game of the whole tournament. On november the 28th was the cathartic, con ecuador at albedo stadium. And then theyll say finnegan before the game 3 against the netherlands. Now lets talk to our guess. First of all, mohammed people who dont know the cutter National Team like what do we expect from this team . Its good to be here. First of all, i think were bit unless he and i think here we had big chances to qualify to the world cup. Before hosting the oath come in 2022, especially in the 1998 clarification where we were only one match away from qualifying. We lost a home again. So did i be a one . Know if we had one this match, we were going to play the world cup one of the world. One of the best world cups over i think is 1992. We have our legacy ideally, as the athlete wanted to qualify by the qualification before hosting a tournament. Now we have a great 3rd generation, the asian cup winners in imitates and last edition. We have a lot of talents, especially eco math, if which is for me is one of the biggest talents in issue. I think we have a chance because were playing home. But technically speaking, i think there are 3 other teams, senegal is the african champion. Holland is a very strong european team, and ecuador for me. If we talk football. Dod better, but we still have a chance. Always playing home is, is an advantage. Do you think theyll make it out of the group stages . I think we have a 30 percent chance honestly, against a senior girl. Its a very, very tough much and for me, since if synagogue plays the european come they could easily do the quarter find out. Theyre very strong, the playing in big teams, premier league league, her culture, they have very, very strong squad, led by her momma aside. You money, whos being on by an excel report. So i think we have a chance for me to get 3 points in the 1st match against ecuador is the door to qualify. Or do you think tim, do you agree . So i like to look at this differently. I like to look at it. I was the 1st of a goal score and in a woke up frustrating the fans of kids. I will never forget this moment for the 1st advocates, how we go school. I promise you. And the other thing that the fans and the country will realize their biggest moment is when they seen the 1st National Anthem together. I think this will be the biggest celebration, very emotional. And this is what makes football tick to get your 1st point in a woke up, whether its a draw, whether its a win is very important as well. But i look at this as something where this is the 1st base of progression because 2026. My thoughts will be how do we qualify for woke up. So the success of me will be looking at it differently. Looking at the improvements that been in 6 month camp, which is unique, doesnt happen, but id love to see them when a game in this group full points to me. 2006. We went through group 4 points in 2010. We didnt go through the group 2014 no points. So what is success . I think from a success is being in a works. David beckham played in 3 world cup for england a his being and cut off. Taken a look at the aspire academy, which has produced the majority of cut us National Team players back and told algebra that hes excited to see the will call being played in the european winter for the 1st time. I think on all levels, its going to be great for the fans for people watching around the world. But more importantly, i think, you know, the players to come in mid season. You know, i know i went into world cups. I was lucky enough to play free world cups and i know that i went into each one of those will come plain, probably 50. 00 to 60. 00 games in the season. So you arrive and you never want to use it as an excuse. But its fact. You are arriving from the top is leaking in football and playing that amount of game. So you obviously arrive a little bit, saw it and mentally physically. So i think the fact that dis, well top now is you know, players are coming into this world cup after playing 25 games in the season. So theyre going to be arriving fresh, excited. The energy is going to be at the top level. So i think what youre going to see on the pitch, hes probably like no other well couple. The performances will be top level that speaking at the spy academy, which was finally back in 2004 and apart from football, offered scholarships in athletics. Was table tennis and fencing. Why also has a world class Sports Science department . We spoke with pious director general von bravo, who explained the thinking behind giving us plays such a long training camp. Katara is going to play a world cup against teams that have pretty much all of their players playing in the top 5 legs. The physically the chance of cut are beating the netherlands in a world cup are very small. So i think also people have to be a little bit realistic about where every countries vandyke place for liverpool are center box play for to hail and suck is a little bit different. Hopefully we can get a little bit of togetherness that creates a mindset on his spirit and collective belief that the team is going to go out there and fight with everything they have. And whatever result is elise to leave everything on the pitch him as a chief sports officer. Aspire. Tell us about the purpose of the academy and how do you compare to other facilities around the world . Its quite unique and i think theres anything like it in the world. This is a National Curriculum for sport, not only football. We have a number of sports from swimming, athletic squash, fencing, table, tennis. And i think for me, learning about as far Academy Inside learning the different methodologies, the processes, growth of maturation and the detail that goes in to the individual because of population, its very difficult to get loads of talent. So it means that what we have, we have to work with it. We have to develop the talent, we have to have talent identification centers, bring the kids in a National Team, thats like a club thing. And its not only the facility, its the talent, as, as to mention, but also the expertise that aspire academy, you were able to bring someone like 10 with 44. 00 world cups experience and like all gonzales champions of the gwinnett summer, like job you had on days all the experience with the family gleneagles champions, they came specially to the football athletes. And for me this play the very, very Important Role of us winning bitch station cup in 2001, 900. For the 1st time where the majority of players came from aspire but for me is not the less but academy for the whole aspire zone. Which is for me, the best sport city in the world. Its not only that they missed the whole city out on that kind of beloved australia will be saying at the fire academy during the world. But they were one of the last things to qualify through in the intercontinental path in june. Like here in doha. It will be 6 time and theyve competed with australia. Im good, be alongside the defending champion, spawns. Theyre also phase games against denmark. And soon as you said, you would the suckers at 4 well cups. How do you rate this current team . Look, listen, it was a long qualifying campaign and it went all the way to the very end. And we were lucky to qualify. When you look at penalties, you look at peruse a nation. It was a tough game, said to win on penalties. I was very proud. It was great to be a part of that final qualification with the staff and even still now taking on a different role as an executive. Ill be helping theres trying National Team with a set up with a camp and really trying to help from a High Performance level. Im excited for us, but i think its more the impact its going to make on our country for grassroots, on just qualifying itself is consecutive woke up. We hope to have a great woke up. I hope they can go further than what i did in 2006 out of the group. And theres no pressure on this group because the young and, you know, i think its, its just great to be, it will come out of be for world cups that youve been to, which one stands out. The one that stands out to me was the 1st one, because its the 1st impact that you give the country after 32 years of starvation, of the biggest shawna. And that is so important because we qualified and its sort of like, its hard to explain because we didnt realize and i didnt realize even sitting on a bench, what a privilege it was to even attend, to go on in school. Its emotions, its everything, but i really want to emphasize the feeling of the national National Anthem, therell be tears everywhere in the country because its the moment that you realize what youve achieved because the build ups been amazing this over a decade for guitar. But also, i think for the country to embrace it and just say look what weve achieved as a country. Its such a big success. Hold on to japan and south korea. They have both qualified, 20 years off, the co hosting, the world cup themselves. Mcbride report arriving for a kaylee clash, it was south korea main stadium for world cup matches 20 years ago with the thoughts of many fans now focused on guitar. The goal recently weve had good results, so i think we can do well. One thing, the opponents in our group, i dont think it will be easy, but we could get into the round of 16. These were the scenes in 2002, when incredibly co host south korea, which the semis, the 1st country outside europe in the americas to do so. 20 years and for world cup later, south korea has never been able to recreate that magic for the disappointment of its fans, the red devils. But there are hopes, but just maybe guitar will be different. Heavy responsibility rests on the broad shoulders. If this man team kept in and talk them forward, so hungry and the fans and the media turn out whenever he does. But he insists the national squad. Its far more than just him and 10 others on the field. We have players who know each other and have experience overseas, and top leagues, and a used to this atmosphere in neighboring japan. The opening up to the outside world following the pandemic has come just in time for its fans. As with all spectators, sports like baseball in recent months, fans have been following strict guidelines on the resumption of cheering and counting in a place that seems to like its rules. The j league telling fans how to behave. In the 2018 world cup, when japan became the 1st asian country to beat aside from south america, the team went on to give up her 2 little lead and lose agonizingly against belgium. What did the fans do . Yep. Pick up litter. Its now become their hallmark to leave the terraces as they found them. Just as japanese people at home are obsessive about later. So their football fans are equally fastidious when abroad will lose or draw when that final whistle goes. Expect to see the summer i Blue Supporters get to work with their own bin bags. Rub Mcbride Al Jazeera tokyo by has a closer look at to pass group, and its a tough one for time. A winner is that a germany are in there alongside 2010 when a spain and its costa rica who completed the line up some difficult games for south korea as well. Theyre in group 8 up against christiano and all those that are portugal gone on. Your guy in that 110 south korea have their star fair song. You mean . Do you think he can make an impact at this tournament . For sure. His quality and what is produced consistently year in year out. I remember playing against him back in my day on the final in the asian cup in australia. Ah, he made an impact in that game. But as an asian player, the you said that i say global player, hes known everywhere on and off the park. Hes a good character, but when he shows up, the whole team revolves around him and he, he basically puts everything into it. So for professionalism, for someone to turn to its a great responsibility that he holds well and i know that hell do well in this fall cock. Well, i think the previous generation of asian play, especially japan and korea had more talents, bigger names. Honda was paying in milan, nikoto was staying in rome, or park was bring in my united from korea. But going back to san for me, the level of foot is produced now is unbelievable. Together with hurricane he was a both were able to sc
