Qatar coach: ‘We wanted to attack but Ecuador had their own weapons’
Qatar’s defeat by Ecuador in their World Cup opener left Felix Sanchez unhappy as the Spain coach insisted his side had to defend better if they were to be competitive.
The atmosphere in the stands of the imposing “Al Bait” was festive after more than 60,000 fans flooded it to watch live Qatar’s first game in the final stages of the World Cup, however, Ecuador did not “respect” the euphoria of the stands and celebrated a comfortable 2-0 win over the organizers.
What left a sore impression on many was that Qatar not only failed to threaten the South Americans but ended the game at home without a single final, with their Spanish coach Felix Sanchez urging his players to stay together for the remainder of the tournament to enhance.
“We fought a certain way in this match, but our opponent had his own ideas. It’s not that we didn’t want to attack, but our opponent had their own weapons.
If we want to be competitive we have to defend and be very organized. When we have the ball, we want to be more efficient.”he emphasized in his remarks.

Goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national team Anatoly Trubin I remembered the match against France (0:4) when Sergei Rebrov released the semi-reserve squad.
“It was the coach’s choice. It is always the coach who decides whether the match will be sacrificed or not. If we talk about the challenge itself, we all understand the strength of France. I understood that there could be a lot of shots, there could be a lot of chances, and I was ready for it. When the opponent is always with the ball, constantly attacking, you are always in the game: you play in sections, you react, you constantly feel the rhythm.
For me personally, it’s even easier than when your team is attacking most of the time and you’re standing idle and suddenly there’s a moment where you have to be ready,” Trubin said.

World Cup
INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:
“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”
FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”
Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:
“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”
Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.
