The puzzle for Danny Hay

Danny Hay won’t be able to count on all of his international players during the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Even orphaned by some executives, the team ranked one hundred and eleven in the FIFA rankings shouldn’t lose much of a feather in this head-dominating peripheral association and shoulders, but the coach will have to juggle according to the arrivals and departures.

From March 17, in Doha, Qatar will host the Ocean Qualifiers for a place in the international play-off – against the fourth in the CONCACAF Zone – in hopes of winning a ticket to the World Cup. The all eggs subordinate New Zealand They are the last representatives of Oceania to participate in the World Cup (in 2010).

To make up his team, Danny Hay had to deal with the fact that FIFA considers qualification to the World Cup not to be an international window for Oceania. Thus, clubs are not obligated to leave players with their countries. So there are three types of players between all eggs : 11 of them will be able to play five matches (three group stage matches, a possible semi-final and the final), 12 will arrive on 19 March and seven of them will have to return to their clubs from 22 March. Then there is the injured, Sarpreet Singh (Bayern Munich) and Elliot Collier (San Antonio), as well as the Marco Rojas (Melbourne Victory) case that the Australian club wanted to keep for the AFC Champions League.

For those who will be there. Oliver Seal will finally be able to push the doors of choice just like his teammate, Ben Wayne. Danny Hay will call up the Costa Barbaros team again, as he has not been called up since 2017 and lost the international match to a team Peru for the World Cup in Russia.
