Qatar forward Sebastian Soria is confident his adopted nation can push their way up the Group One table in World Cup qualifying.
The gulf nation currently sit fourth on the table, four points behind second-placed Japan but that may change when they take on Uzbekistan in Pakhtahor on Saturday.
Uruguay-born Soria is looking forward to the challenge and hopes Qatar's form can turn for the better.
"The situation is more complicated now," Soria told Al Jazeera.
"We only have one game in Qatar against Australia, and three tough away games, but we still have a chance.
"But things have to change. Against Australia and Japan we didn't show anything. We have more quality than that.
"I'm always positive, and as long as we have a chance we will continue to go for it to try and reach the World Cup," Soria added.
"It is a special game for me and it is a very important game for the team. We have to try and win this game.
"If, God willing, I can score some goals too, it would be great."
