Musa Al-Taamari brought Jordan to make history in the 2023 Asian Cup (doc. AFC).

JAKARTA - Jordan made a new history with the first time reaching the 2023 Asian Cup final. They will face Qatar at the Lusail Stadium on February 10, 2024 for the dream of becoming the first winner.

A month ago, one of the Jordanians, Musa Al-Taamari, had dreamed of winning the 2023 Asian Cup trophy.

He is still guarding that dream. Jordan became a surprise team that appeared patriotic.

In the semifinals, Jordan beat one of the favorites to win the tournament, South Korea, two goals without reply.

Just one step away, the winger could realize his dream with Jordan.

"I dreamed of winning the Asian Cup a month ago and now that dream is almost come true. This is a proud moment for me, my country and my club, Montpellier. Support from Jordan and the club is invaluable."

"Prouding my country in France is a great honor. I hope we can appear victorious in the final," said the 26-year-old player.

Al-Taamari further assessed that Jordan's slick journey was the fruit of the mentality of the champion, collectivity, and special motivation of the coach.

In addition, he also mentioned that support from supporters became an inseparable role that brought Jordan to the 2023 Asian Cup final.

"Thank you to our fans for their unwavering support. We are implementing our game plans effectively."

"I have to praise our coach (Hussein Ammouta), who emphasized the importance of enjoying himself. He instilled the mentality of victory in us. We dedicate this victory to our fans." "This victory is not the result of an individual effort but a collective effort. I will not achieve this without my teammates, especially the midfielders who gave me important passes. I always try to run towards the goal," said Al-Taamari.

Jordan's surprising take, according to Al-Taamari, could not be separated from the effective strategy instructed by Ammouta coach.

The Montpellier player agrees that discipline towards Ammouta's tactics is an important factor in Jordan's slick game. "The discipline of tactics instilled by our head coach is very important. He instills confidence in us not to respect opponents too much and does not provide space for them to attack." "The spirit, patience, and most importantly the fans, who supported us from start to finish, played an important role in our success. On the field, we are one team. Off the field, we are one family. This victory belongs to all of us, not just Al-Taamari," said Al-Taamari.

Al-Taamari has so far contributed three goals for Jordan. The record is equivalent to the number of his colleague, Yazan Al-Naimat.

The winger's goal when overthrowing South Korea drew the spotlight. He confirmed Jordan's victory with a corner kick.
