The coach explained at the beginning, saying: “We have a very important match ahead of us. Our job is to be calm and put a lot of experience into this match. I want my team’s players, especially those with experience, to lead the team to get the three points and not offer any mistakes.”
He continued: “In previous matches, we were behind in the score from the start of the match, and this affects our level in the rest of the match. This requires a lot of effort and focus to get back in the match, and this make the match easier for the opposing team.”
Regarding the drop in the team’s performance in the previous period, the coach explained: “We did not underestimate the previous matches. We presented good levels in the last matches, whether with Al-Wahda or KhorFakkan, but we were not lucky in achieving points. With Al-Wahda, we played a great second half, but we were not able to score, against KhorFakkan.” We fell behind in the score early, which affected the team’s level in the rest of the match.”
He continued: "We must not lose focus as we did in the previous match. There are some simple and individual mistakes by the players that cost us the loss of the match and points. These mistakes lower the morale of the players during the match and raise the morale of the opposing team, and this is what we must avoid."
Regarding the decline in the level of the players in the recent period, the coach explained: “There are several reasons that may contribute to the decline in the level of the team and the level of the players, which may include injuries or international players traveling with their teams, as well as the lack of matches in the recent period, which causes the team’s level to decline and not reach full readiness.” "
As for the readiness of Baniyas, the coach indicated that there are doubts about the readiness of Seal Samuel, who is suffering from injury, and the team will also restore the services of player Khamis Al Mansouri, who has just returned from his mission to represent the national Olympic team.
Player Khamis Al Mansouri also spoke and confirmed that the Hatta match is a very important match for the team, and that the players are determined to achieve victory and full points in front of the team’s fans at Al Shamkha Stadium.
Al Mansouri added: “I had the honor of representing the Olympic national team in the previous period, which prevented me from participating with the team, but now I am ready to play the upcoming matches with my team in the coming period.”
Al Mansouri concluded: “We are waiting for the support of our fans in the next match against Hatta, as it is an important match for the team, and since the presence of the fans in the stands is considered a real support for us to achieve victory and make them happy.”
