Spanish coach Felix Sanchez, Al Sadd’s coach, confirmed his team’s desire to continue its victories when it faces its counterpart Umm Salal, tomorrow, Friday, in the fourth round of the Qatar Football League (Ooredoo Stars League).
Sanchez said in the match’s press conference today that his team is facing an important match in which it seeks to continue its strong performances and collect the three points, noting at the same time that the task will not be easy against a competitor who has shown a good level during the previous three rounds in the league.
The Spanish coach explained that time was very short during the preparation for the match after the international break, as most of the players only had one training session, hoping that everyone would be ready and enthusiastic to resume the league, continue to provide a good level and achieve the desired results.
In turn, French coach Patrice Carteron, coach of Umm Salal, confirmed that his team is ready to face Al Sadd, which he described as being strong and difficult, noting that the matches between the two teams usually witness a lot of competition and excitement.
He added that Al Sadd is the league champion and the biggest candidate to retain the title, and that it has performed brilliantly in the last two matches and achieved two victories, which means that the mission of the Umm Salal players will not be easy, and they will have to be at the peak of mental and technical presence, expressing his confidence in the group’s ability to provide the best possible level to come out with a positive result, especially after the players have reached a high degree of harmony.
Al Sadd, who are in third place with 6 points, hope to achieve their third consecutive victory, while Umm Salal are looking forward to achieving a positive result to compensate for the previous loss to Al Duhail by one goal to none, which kept their score at three points in seventh place.
