“All matches are very complicated. Against Al-Wakra it will also be. It seems to me that it is a good team with a good coach and good players, but we have to beat them because I think we can. We have lost several games,” he said.
Al-Rayyan’s next challenge will be once morest Al-Wakra, on Saturday, January 8, at 10:25 in the morning, Colombian time. His rival is fifth, the product of five wins, four draws and two losses, adding 19 points. Faced with this, he continued his speech.
“For this game we are working hard, but we have not recovered some players, due to injuries and some are in the African Cup. However, I hope that we will have a positive response from everyone, from the entire team and the coaching staff,” he said. .
