Al Shamal coach Poya Asbhagi spoke to the media ahead of their 2023-2024 season Expo Stars League Week 19 match against Al Ahli.

“A strong match awaits us against a good team that includes players with good potential, but that does not prevent us from looking forward to winning and getting three points in order to advance another step away from the danger zone in the league table.

“We will play to win and get three points from the first minute of the match.

“We worked to correct the mistakes during the last training sessions to avoid them in the upcoming matches. I see that the Al Shamal players  are ready to play the match and I have great confidence in the extent of their responsibility and their eagerness to be back on the path of victories,” said Asbhagi.

Al Shamal player Ahmed Al Durr said, “The match will be a milestone for the team in its league journey this season and therefore we look forward to achieving our goal.

“Our goal is to win and get the three points, with all due respect to the Al Ahli team, one of the best teams in the league this season, but we are looking forward to getting the three points and do not think about the competitors, but rather our focus is always on ourselves only.

“Our preparations are good for the match and we worked well in the recent period, and we are ready to implement the coach’s instructions on the field in the next match.”
