Al Ahli coach Nebojsa Jovovic spoke to the media ahead of their 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League Week 11 match against Al Markhiya.

“Al Ahli are looking forward to being at the best technical level during all matches, so we will have to prepare the team for a strong match against Al Markhiya, who are one of the strong teams in terms of level and style of play.

“The match will not be easy for the team due to the strength of the competition in the league after the end of international commitments that caused absence of players in a number of clubs. All teams are now in full strength. Al Markhiya have their players back after doing duty at the 25th Arabian Gulf Cup, so the clash is expected to be strong.

“We prepared for this match from a physical and technical point of view, and worked to address the negatives and develop performance among players.

“We need to provide the required technical level and be on the path of victories,” said Nebojsa.

Al Ahli player Nikola Vukcevic said, “We are always looking for the best position in the standings. As a player, I am all set for this game.

“|The Al Markhiya match will not be easy. We know very well that the opponent is a strong team technically, but we, in Al Ahli, are prepared for the match in the best way and are looking forward to achieve the best result. We will make every effort to collect full points.”
