Turkmenistan national football team midfielder Artur Gevorkyan, who plays for Persib Bandung in Indonesia, commented to Turkmenportal on the results of the draw for the second stage of the qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup and 2023 Asian Cup, which was held on July 17 at AFC headquarters Kuala Lumpur. According to the draw, rivals of the Turkmen football players in the group qualifying tournament of the 2022 World Cup will be the national teams of the Republic of Korea, Lebanon, DPR Korea and Sri Lanka.
«I think the group is not easy, but this is football - any team on the field can win or lose. And the national team of Turkmenistan has repeatedly proved that it can play on an equal footing with any opponent. The two teams that can be distinguished from the group and which need to be feared are the Republic of Korea and the DPRK. If we play in each game only to win, then we will definitely achieve a positive result in the group “H”. First of all, we will play for our fans», said Artur Gevorkyan.
