National team player Amer Jamous says injury he suffers not actual injury but result of heavy effort and match congestion, wishing speedy recovery to captain Yazan Al Naimat and captain Adham Al Qarshi, hoping both catch up with World Cup.
Jamous says one key reason behind team success not technical only, but strong administrative and medical work behind scenes, helping prepare players in optimal way.
He says team delivers exceptional tournament and deserves title, stressing ‘small details only’ prevent crown, despite clear ambition from moment of travel to Qatar to reach final, lift trophy, return to play at Lusail again after Asian Cup.
Jamous says team does not rely on concept of first-choice player and substitute, noting all players at similar level and capable of responsibility, reflecting value of Jordanian player, whom he describes as ‘unfairly treated at global media level’ due to lack of strong international media presence.
He speaks about difficult conditions team faces during tournament, especially Iraq match, which he describes as hardest, particularly after injury of captain Yazan Al Naimat, given his major technical and moral impact within squad. He says seeing his condition between halves affects players psychologically, yet team manages to overcome stage.
Jamous adds Saudi Arabia match and final against Morocco not easy, noting early goal conceded in final enough to take any team out of game, but Jordanian team comes back and takes lead before details decide result.
He reveals atmosphere after Iraq match negative, to extent team does not celebrate win, prompting head coach Jamal Al Salami to call in Hatem Trabelsi, Youssef Chippo, and Dr Tareq Al Jalahma, who provide players strong moral support, stressing achievements immortalised in history, and that this generation succeeds in reaching Asian Cup final and qualifying for World Cup, achievement to remain recorded in their name.
