The Portuguese Arthur George, coach of Al Rayyan, emphasized the importance of facing Qatar SC, and said during the press conference held on the sidelines of this match: “We had enough time to prepare for this match. It will be a tough match, of course. We know that Qatar SC has a strong motivation after achieving three wins in three matches. This is a different match from the previous Cup match. We have developed our team through the new contracts. The preparations were the same as all matches, but the difference is that we had time to prepare the team strongly. We have a strong motivation to achieve victory and continue on the right path. We are ready to face a tough opponent, and we focus on ourselves and what we can do.”
He added: “Our ambitions this season are high. We are now talking about the new contracts, but we had three matches before these contracts and we succeeded in achieving positive results. This is the natural path for us because we have a clear goal this season. We are happy with the contracts that meet the team’s aspirations. When we have this quality of contracts, it makes us achieve the goals we desire. Our ambition is to compete for the titles and stay in first place in all the tournaments we participate in. We are still at the beginning of the league and we have 6 points, and we must go match by match. Our biggest goal is to achieve the three points in tomorrow’s match against Qatar SC.”
He continued, saying: “When the results are good, the fans want to go to the stadium, and this is our job. I am happy that we are on the right path, and we can feel the match through our fans. Therefore, I hope there will be a lot of supporters in the stadium. As for me, the communication between the fans and the players is the most important thing, and we need them to achieve our goals.”
