This evening, the introductory press conference for the Baniyas match against Al Wasl was held for the 16th round of the Professional League Cup, which will be held at Zabeel Stadium. The press conference was attended by coach Daniel Isila and player Amer Abdel Rahman.


The coach made it clear that Al Wasl has the advantage of advancing in the first match, but there are still hopes to compete for a place to qualify.

He added, "We know that things are difficult, as there is a lot of pressure in the match schedule, and we also have an important match against Al Jazira after a few days of this confrontation."

He continued: "Al-Jazeera is not playing in this round of the Professional Cup, and we will face Al-Wasl, and then Al-Jazira, so we have to intensify the effort to adapt to the match schedule."

Regarding the team's readiness, the coach confirmed the continued absence of Fawaz Awana for injury and Khamis Al Hammadi due to his joining the military service, and there are also some minor problems with some players.


As for the inability of Baniyas to maintain the result after the progress, which occurred in more than one match, the coach explained: “This is football that depends on small mistakes, and whoever takes advantage of them is the one who wins. Last season, we were the ones who took advantage of these mistakes and scored points, but in This season we make mistakes, we give gifts to our opponents."

The coach concluded: "We have to do more to achieve victories, and we strive to achieve this in front of Al Wasl in this confrontation."


The player Amer Abdul Rahman also spoke, who explained: "We, as players, need a moral victory that restores confidence in the team, and we will try to achieve that victory against Al Wasl."


He also indicated that the team's start was not successful in this season, as the players lacked some focus to avoid such mistakes that occurred and robbed the team of match points.

Amer continued: "For example, in front of Khorfakkan, they took advantage of one attack in the second half and were able to score the equalizing goal. Also, in the victory match, there were individual mistakes that cost us match points."
