Majed Abdullah, captain of the Saudi national team, recalled his difficult memories of attempts to qualify for the World Cup before it was crowned with success in 1994, acknowledging that he missed a lot of China’s match in the World Cup qualifiers in Italy four years earlier.
Majed Abdullah told the “In the Goal” program: Qualifying in the past was difficult, Asia has only two seats, with strong teams in the west and east of the continent.
He continued: In the 1990 World Cup qualifiers, specifically against China, I missed a lot of opportunities, it was simply not my day at the time.
The top scorer of the Saudi national team throughout history revealed that he intended to retire after the World Cup America, and added: I intended to stop football after the World Cup, but I was satisfied with international retirement and continued with Al-Nasr until I retired in 1998.
