# [Asian Cup InterBU] Will Korea win if they beat Korea? Jordan Amota said, "Only Cleans is amazing... The finals are well prepared."


Jordan, who beat South Korea in the semifinals and reached the final, is determined to write a new history.

Jordan, led by Hussein Amota, will play in the final of the 2023 AFC (Asian Football Confederation) Qatar Asian Cup against Qatar led by Tintin Marquez at Lusail Stadium in Lusail, Qatar, at midnight on the 11th (Korea time).

Jordan advanced to the final with a 2-0 complete victory over South Korea in the semifinals of the Asian Cup on the 7th. The opponent is Qatar, the host country and the "defending champion" who defeated Iran 3-2 to reach the final.

Jordan is making history again and again in the upcoming Asian Cup. This is the first time ever. Jordan's best performance in the Asian Cup was in the quarterfinals, but he broke a record by advancing to the semifinals for the first time. He also beat South Korea, the third-tier Asian country, 2-0 in the semifinals. He is also a "first" player to advance to the finals. If he lifts a trophy, he can achieve his first win.

An official press conference between Jordan and Qatar was held at the press conference room of the main media center in Doha, Qatar, a day before the match. Jordan's press conference was held first at 10:30 a.m. (local time) on Wednesday, 30 minutes earlier than Qatar's. Head coach Amota and defender Salem al-Azalin represented Jordan.

Ahead of the final, Amota said, "It's the final match between Arab teams. Satisfied with our performance. Look. We have achieved something, but we will play in a full squad tomorrow. To evaluate our opponents, Qatar is the defending champion and the home team. It's not an easy team. Looking back on 2019, we've made it to the final and it's going to be a strong game."

"I witnessed the Qatar Football Association supporting all of these successes. The technical, mental and financial support was crucial. Thank you to Qatar for helping us. He helped us in transportation, accommodation, everything. Tomorrow's game is meaningful because it is the Arab Final," he also thanked the Qatari authorities for preparing for the tournament.

When asked if he felt any pressure ahead of the historic achievement, he replied, "This is the final. I believe we are ready. We need to control our pressure. There is more pressure. I want to avoid distractions. This is the last game. I trained well and recovered well. There was also the help of equipment and technology."

Asked about his criticism, Amota said, "Our squad is well prepared. Physically, mentally, technically and tactically. I don't listen 99 percent to criticism. I only believe in what I have done and the team. I will talk about my future after the competition is over."

In recent competitions, there has been a kind of "official" that a team that beats Korea wins the championship. In response, Amota said, "Korea is a very good team. There is also an amazing coach, Klinsmann. What makes a difference in soccer is a small detail. There are very good players in Korea and they were amazing."
