Portuguese Leonardo Jardim, Al Rayyan’s coach, stressed the importance of the match that will bring together Al Rayyan and Al Ahli in the tenth round of the Expo Stars League. He said during the press conference held on the sidelines of this match: “We did not play in the required way in the past matches, and we must be fully focused in order to get the three points against Al Ahli, and we as players, technical staff, management, and fans want to win matches, and this is what we prepare for every week.”
He added: “When you play at a high level, football consists of competition in the group and the continuity of matches, and if there is no competition in the same group and the continuity of matches, the performance declines.”
