OmanThe team's physical condition and competitive state are obviously better than those of the national football team. Actually, unlike the national football team,OmanThe team is training after the league has been suspended, and the players are in the middle of the season. The players of the national football team have either just finished the season for a short time, or have been on vacation for a while, and only after arriving in Abu Dhabi have begun to train from the most basic physical reserves. The day of the match coincided with the last day of the international players' physical reserves, and they were at their most physically exhausted and far from at their best level of fitness.
