UAE Coach: '3-0 Defeat to Morocco Doesn't Reflect Match Reality'

Olăroiu Cosmin, the coach of the UAE national team, expressed his disappointment after his team's 3-0 loss to the Moroccan national team in the Arab Cup semi-finals, emphasizing that the match was extremely difficult.

Cosmin stated in his post-match comments: "The three-goal loss does not reflect the reality of the match."

"We took risks in the final minutes against Morocco, conceded two goals, and lost the match," added the UAE coach.

He continued: "The match against Morocco was not easy, and we suffered from fatigue after facing Algeria. We also had one less day of rest than the Moroccan team, but this is not an excuse."

He concluded: "Now we have one last match, which we will play with the desire to secure third place."
