This evening, the introductory press conference for the Baniyas match against Al Wahda was held for the second round of the ADNOC Pro League, which will be held at Al Nahyan Stadium. The press conference was attended by coach Daniel Isila and team captain Fawaz Awana.

The coach started the conference by describing the match as a difficult match against a strong and very good opponent. Al Wahda came from a match in which it won a big victory against Al Orooba by four, however Baniyas came from a loss in the last minutes against Al Wasl, so there will be a morale difference between the two sides, but we will prepare well for this match.

The coach also talked about the refereeing mistakes that occurred in the previous match against Al Wasl, saying: “I would like to talk about referees and the mistakes that happened in front of Al Wasl. By nature, I do not like to talk about referees, but we did not deserve to lose in front of Al Wasl, as we deserved a very clear penalty kick. With the presence of video technology, it became clear that Al Wasl player Fabio Lima did not go towards the ball, but rather was referring to Baniyas player Sasa, and with this the penalty kick was not awarded.

He added, "This is not the first time, as Baniyas suffered a lot last season from refereeing errors, which greatly affected the team's results in various tournaments."

And he continued: "Yes, Al Wasl was better in the previous match, and perhaps we did not deserve a draw, but the same situation if it happened with Al Wasl team five times, I am sure that they will receive five penalty kicks."

And in his question about former Baniyas star Joao Pedro, who will be Baniyas opponent in the next match, he commented: “This is football, today we face Pedro and he is our opponent. He is a great and distinguished player and is a great addition to any team he is in."

As for the team’s absence, the coach explained that Joao Victor will continue to be absent due to injury, while team captain Fawaz Awana will return after being suspended in the previous match due to the accumulation of yellow cards. In the coming days.

The captain of the team, Fawaz Awana, also spoke, who clarified that the team must overcome the loss in the first match, which was a bit harsh because the goal came in the last minutes.

Awana added: "The Al-Wahda match will be a difficult match, as it is a derby match, and it is a match that has its own calculations.

He continued: We prepared well, morally and technically, for this match, as there was work for the technical staff to overcome the loss in the match and focus only on the next match to return to the true image of the Baniyas team.

Awana concluded: "We are very excited about this big match, and we promise the team's fans to give everything we have to win and come out in a distinguished way in the next match."
