Al Duhail coach Jamal Belmadi stressed the importance of facing Al Gharafa, which will be difficult amid the desire of both teams to win points in the match and continue to advance in the standings.
He said: Every team needs to win. We focused last period on relaxing and restoring the team’s fitness before this difficult confrontation. We will do our best to achieve a positive result. We know well the strengths and weaknesses of all teams. Al-Gharafa have Sassi and Brahimi, who are great players who played the World Cup and have great experience, but our focus will be on the entire team and not specific players.”
Belmadi concluded his statements, saying: Winning the Best Coach Award last month is the result of teamwork and not individual work. I am happy with the award, but this is work for all the work team, as I mentioned.
Al-Duhail goalkeeper Bautista Burque also confirmed that he and his teammates are looking forward to winning the match against Al-Gharafa and continuing to rise to the top of the league table.
He said: We have undertaken hospitalization operations in order to recover and regain fitness before the confrontation, and we will strive to win.
He continued: Everyone here knows that we are seeking to win the league and we must expect such difficult confrontations in order to reach the summit. We faced Al-Shamal and surpassed it, and now we must overcome Al-Gharafa.
