Bahrain coach Miroslav Soukup likes to play a lone striker up front Mohammed Al Romaihi dons the role for the Gulf side. The 28-year-old has made 10 appearances for the national team, finding the back of the thrice.

Mohamed Al-Romaihi was a constant nuisance for the Thailand defenders in the first half and the same for the UAE ones in both the halves. The 186cm tall striker is also good aerially and proved his worth by towering above the defenders to score a goal against UAE in the tournament opener.

Sandesh and Anas aren't good at dealing with aerial balls while defending. It was evident in the match against China as they failed to win a single aerial duel in the second half. Mohamed Al-Romaihi can punish them if they don't improve on this aspect.


Apart from these five players, which other Bahraini stars do you think the Indian players should be wary about? Do let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
