It is known that the 67-year-old Colombian strategist has set up a thorough plan for the training session in Serbia, including tactical lectures, analyzing the opponent's gameplay and will arrange some friendly matches.

Currently, the UAE is ranked 4th in Group G with 6 points. They are 5 points behind Vietnam, but play less than 1 match. UAE will have to be determined to win all 12 points in the remaining 4 matches.

Except for Indonesia which can be considered as a road liner, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand are all nasty opponents to the UAE. In the first leg, they lost to Thailand as well as Vietnam, and it was very hard to win the minimum victory over Malaysia.

The opportunity remains with the UAE, but Pinto’s side will have to try and play with more than 100% of their abilities to achieve the set goals.
