Al Sadd coach Juan Manuel Lillo ‘Juanma’ spoke to the media ahead of their 2022-2023 season QNB Stars League postponed match from Week 10 against Al Duhail.

“Considering that it is a big match, it is logical that it will be very difficult.

“Given the strength of Al Duhail and also because they are at the top of the league, maybe we can win twice against Al Duhail and yet we may not win the title, and this is the case in football, you never know what will happen.

“It may also happen that we lose the match and still maintain our hopes of winning the title, if we lose it will be very difficult, but it remains difficult even if we win.

“Regarding the recent victory over Al Markhiya in the Amir Cup, I would say that the Amir Cup championship is very important to us and winning the Al Markhiya match is not a measure more than the other matches that you win. But the continuation of victories gives us motivation to provide the best in the upcoming matches,” said Juanma.

Al Sadd goalkeeper Saad Al Dossari said, “Our match against Al Duhail is very important for the team. We seek to appear well. The team is fully focused on the match and we will give our best during the match to achieve victory.

“Al Duhail outperform us by many points and our goal is to win and reduce the difference and we will work hard to achieve victory. We always compete for victory and the recent victory in the Amir Cup will give us motivation to provide the best in every match.”
