VALENCIA: Qatar yesterday continued training at the International Friendly U-20 Tournament where Argentina is showing indomitable form.
Qatar, who lost to Argentina in their opening clash at the 10-team event, face Costa Rica tomorrow.
The next two games will determine who tops the group and reach the semifinals.
Mexico and Morocco are the two other teams in group.
Oscar Cano is coaching Qatar squad.
Saeed Al Marri, head of Qatar delegation in Spain, said: “We are getting better. We are facing tough teams. That’s what we wanted to do.”
He added: “We have long-term plans with this squad. We are doing everything so that the players arrive in pristine condition for the AFC Asian U-20 Cup in Bahrain.”
Qatar are the defending champions of the Asian U-20 title they won in Myanmar in October 2016.
“Qatar players are getting the exposure they were looking for. The tough matches they play here will make them better players,” Al Marri said.
The tournament ends on August 4.
