尽管国内局势艰难、海湾杯上的对手也很棘手，努雷丁·乌尔德·阿里依然保持乐观。也门国家队主教练努雷丁·乌尔德·阿里并没有为球队周六在海湾杯上以0比1负于卡塔尔队寻找老掉牙的足球界借口，尽管场上有一个明显应判给也门队的点球却没有判罚。这场失利意味着也门队在正在沙特吉达举行的八国地区赛事中提前出局，尽管小组赛还剩一场比赛。
Noureddine Ould Ali is staying positive despite a difficult situation at home and tough opponents at the Gulf Cup The Yemen national team coach, Noureddine Ould Ali, chose not to reach for a good old-fashioned football excuse for his team’s 1-0 loss to Qatar in the Gulf Cup on Saturday, despite a clear penalty that was not given his way. The defeat meant the Reds crashed out of the eight-nation regional tournament, currently taking place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, with a game of the group stage still remaining.
面对一支今年夏天参加过世界杯的球队，这位阿尔及利亚籍教练还可以为失利列举出其他原因。卡塔尔拥有阿斯派尔学院、世界一流的体育场，还由曾执教西班牙队和皇家马德里的胡伦·洛佩特吉担任主教练。也门则完全不具备这些条件，而且自2012年在萨那以2比1战胜巴勒斯坦队后，就再也没有参加过主场比赛。
There are other factors that the Algerian coach could list for a defeat against a team that was at the World Cup in the summer. Qatar also have the Aspire Academy, state of the art stadia and a former Spain and Real Madrid coach – Julen Lopetegui – in charge. Yemen have none of those things and have not played a home game since 2012, a 2-1 win over Palestine in Sanaa.
