Mauritius head coach Guillaume Moullec emphasized that the tournament is valuable preparation for their upcoming FIFA World Cup Qualifiers. "Playing against higher-ranked teams helps us progress. The next match will be more complicated, but we're here to test ourselves," Moullec remarked.
Captain Lyndsay Rose, named Player of the Match against India, echoed the sentiment. "It was an honor to be named Player of the Match, but the team effort is what matters. We will aim to keep our defensive compactness while improving our play with the ball," Rose said. He also acknowledged the challenge Syria poses, given their fresh legs and time to prepare.
Mauritius is expected to rotate their squad for the Syria game as Moullec looks to test different player combinations. "We'll adapt our strategy to the opponent and make changes to improve ball retention in midfield," the coach hinted.
Syrian Defender Aiham Ousou expressed excitement about the fresh ideas brought by new coach Lana and his staff. "We're excited to see what we can bring under our new coach. Despite players being at different stages of fitness, we're well-prepared," Ousou commented.
However, Lana admitted that Syria has a few fitness issues. "Some players have fitness problems, but we hope to do a good job," the 49-year-old coach noted. Referring to Mauritius' strong display against India, Lana added that there are no favorites in the tournament. "We have to prove ourselves on the pitch. Every team deserves respect, but we're confident in our players and their ability to defend the Syrian shirt."
As both teams prepare for the encounter, Syria will look to assert their dominance as the highest-ranked side, while Mauritius aims to build on their impressive showing against India.
