Al Markhiya coach Abdullah Mubarak spoke to the media ahead of their 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League Week 13 match against Qatar SC.

“The team will be ready to play the match after the game with Al Sadd in the last round of the league. Our technical staff are studying the Qatar SC team well through its strengths and weaknesses, and building tactical plans for them as usual before any match.

“We do not look much at the victory of Qatar SC over Al Arabi, as much as we focus on our team, and we know how to move during the match. When we played against Al Sadd, we were aware of our capabilities and the capabilities of our opponents. We were not fully prepared for the match, but now against Qatar SC, we are completely ready for the match,” said Abdullah Mubarak.

Al Markhiya player Ali Nasser Al Marri said, “The team is ready for the match and to present an honourable level and achieve a positive result even though it will not be easy.

“We will work to redouble our efforts and focus on achieving victory and winning points in the match, which I believe will not be easy. We know that Qatar SC have a strong team and they are the best team in January. We may be under pressure, but we are going into the game without pressure.”
